Tax Reform Bill Could Impact University of Evansville Endowment

1

DECEMBER 17TH, 2017  BRITNEY TAYLOR EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

 Lawmakers in Washington D.C. are still wrestling with the details of the new tax reform bill, some of which could have a negative impact on higher education.
The bill proposes a 1.4% excise tax on endowments, which would affect scholarships for many students.

Schools with an endowment of $250,000 per part-time student and $500,000 per full-time student would be affected.

Although the endowment at UE isn’t high enough to be affected, officials say the future is still a concern.

Donna Teague said, “We would hope that our lawmakers would see that, and make the right decisions to help higher ed and our students because as you know, higher education is very important. It’s important that students get a degree to help them in the future. So we need to try to make higher ed as affordable as possible.”

Kentucky Wesleyan’s endowment is also not high enough to be affected.

Negotiations on the new tax reform bill are still ongoing.

COA Reverses Involuntarily Mental Health Commitment

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A woman involuntarily committed to the Evansville State Hospital for mental health treatment must be released after the Indiana Court of Appeals determined Friday there was insufficient evidence to support her commitment.

As a result of her diagnosis with schizoaffective disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, P.B. suffered from paranoia and delusions and believed her mother was conspiring to harm her. She was also “poorly compliant” with outpatient treatment because she believed her medication was poisonous.

P.B. was admitted to the Evansville State Hospital on Feb. 13, and one day later the St. Joseph Superior Court entered an order to continue her regular commitment without a hearing. After P.B. filed for dismissal of her commitment, the trial court held a hearing, where Dr. Boris Vatel testified in favor of continuing the commitment because she was gravely disabled.

The trial court ultimately continued P.B.’s involuntary commitment, but the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed that decision on Friday. Judge Michael Barnes, writing for the unanimous panel, pointed T.K. v. Department of Veteran Affairs, 27 N.E.3d 271, 273 (Ind. 2015), which disapproved of the Court of Appeals using a standard of review that affirmed involuntary commitments “merely if a reasonable person could have drawn the conclusion that commitment was necessary, even if other reasonable conclusions were possible.”

Although P.B. had paranoid delusions and often had confrontations with her neighbors, there was no evidence her delusions caused her to destroy property or harm herself or other people, Barnes said. Additionally, there was no evidence she was unable to provide food, clothing and shelter for herself, he said.

 “Essentially, Dr. Vatel’s recommendation in favor of P.B.’s continued involuntary commitment was based on her unpleasantness and inability to get along with other people, her paranoid delusions, and her failure to fully cooperate with treatment,” the judge wrote. “None of this is untrue, and there is no doubt that P.B. suffers from severe mental illness. However, the statutory definition of ‘gravely disabled’ is very specific, and it has not been met here.”

Thus, the appellate panel concluded P.B.’s regular involuntary commitment deprived her liberty without sufficient evidence.

The case is In the Matter of the Commitment of P.B. v. Evansville State Hospital, 71A03-1706-MH-1362.
