HOOSIERS PROTEST RFRA

Disagreement continues in state, nation over controversial religious freedom bill KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER Locally, the owner of Scot | knberg2@bsu.edu ty’s Brewhouse, Scott Wise,

fter Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the controversial Senate Bill 101, opponents both locally and nationally continue to voice concerns about the law, including the owner of Scotty’s Brewhouse. The law is based on last year’s Supreme Court decision that family-owned businesses would not have to offer contraceptive coverage to their employees if it conflicted with the owner’s beliefs. The goal of the law is to give people legal protection to practice their religion. However, Pence said in an interview with the Indianapolis Star Saturday that after talking to legislative leaders, he expects a clarification bill this coming week. While the language of the law does not state anywhere that businesses would be able to discriminate, companies such as Gen Con LLC., Angie’s List, National Collegiate Athletic Association, Salesforce and Disciples of Christ have all voiced their opposition to the law and have spoken about withdrawing business in Indiana.

posted his opinion on the restaurant’s website. “I employ over 1,300 people in the state of Indiana,” it reads. “Several of my employees are openly gay, proud and happy which include hourly, employees, management and corporate executives. Most importantly, I consider all of them my colleagues and even more so, my friends.” Wise said he doesn’t know how many people he employs or serves are gay. The only thing he asks from guests are that they treat the restaurant and staff with respect, and treat each other as human beings. “I sure hope that fellow business owners understand that just because they ‘CAN’ [discriminate] doesn’t mean they ‘SHOULD,’” Wise said in his post. “And, I hope that the Gen Con organizers and others around the U.S. understand that this policy will never sway the business owners in the city of Indianapolis from continuing to offer genuine Hoosier Hospitality to everyone that enters our businesses, equally, fairly, justly and lovingly.”

THREE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE RFRA

Prohibits a governmental entity from “substantially burdening” a person, company or organization’s exercise of religion.

What it means:

A person, company or organization will have the ability to make decisions based on their religion without legal action from a government entity. The bill does not protect action against two private individuals.

2 3

If the individual wins a case against a government entity, they are entitled to seek compensation which can include court fees in some cases.

A government entity may be “substantially burdening” if the action shows “compelling governmental interest” or is the least restricting means to address a situation.

The full bill can be seen at iga.in.gov.

#AllAreWelcome Protestors gather at the Statehouse to rally against RFRA KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER

knberg2@bsu.edu

More than 1,000 people gathered in front of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis Saturday to take part in the #AllAreWelcome rally to oppose the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed Thursday by Indiana Governor Mike Pence. Ryan Walstrom, a freshman telecommunications major, was one of the Ball State students to travel to the rally. “I think it really speaks about the state,” Walstrom said. “A rally like this really shows strong opposition. This is a backwards step in social views.” Throughout the rally, chants of “this is what democracy looks like,” “Pence must go” and “fix the bill” were repeated as leaders encouraged the crowd to speak out. Jeff Cummings, an Indianapolis business owner, attended the rally holding a sign saying “Pitch Pence over the fence.” He said as a vice president for a multinational company, he embraces diversity for his company and employees and felt the need to attend the rally.

He has seen significant playing time in all of his years at Ball State, making the switch to libero last year and earning First Team All-Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association honors. Witmer and Sutherland have also played a key role since early in their careers. The pair has combined for 285 of the team’s 1,012 kills so far this season. Witmer was an Academic AllMIVA selection each of the last three seasons. The two outside attackers have complemented each other on the court throughout their careers, and look to stay healthy and help the team compete the rest of the season. After earning a medical redshirt in 2014, Julian Welsh-White has played in five sets this season with four kills. Welsh-White has one more year of eligibility and can finish his collegiate career at another university.

University to reorganize administration Ball State to adjust job descriptions for ‘18 by ‘18’ objective |

KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER knberg2@bsu.edu

As part of Ball State President Paul W. Ferguson’s Centennial Commitment, the university will be combining, dividing up or eliminating parts of the administration within the next few months. Initially, Enrollment Management, Marketing and Communications; Advancement Services; Legal Services; Governmental Relations and Community Engagement; and Strategic University Space Allocation will be the first areas the university focuses on, but all administration will be covered. Julie Hopwood, senior advisor to the president and chief of staff, will oversee the reorganization of Enrollment

Management, Marketing and Communications while each sector of administration is choosing their own method to reorganize. Hopwood is evaluating each area to make sure it is up to date. If a sector doesn’t meet efficiency standards, they’ll readjust to bring it closer to expectations. She said she wants to make sure all positions meet industry standards. Hopwood has done a reorganization similar to this at other institutions, and said she thought it was a thorough and collaborative approach. “I find it to be successful because it empowers individuals,” Hopwood said. “When you say reorganization, sometimes that can be somewhat threatening or it can be perceived as a negative. What I’d like people to experience is that it can be empowering and very positive. When individuals feel recognized and heard and they feel they’re a part of an evolution to a better position, then they’re

PRESIDENT PAUL W. FERGUSON’S 18TH GOAL IN THE CENTENNIAL COMMITMENT “Review and Implement Best Practices in University Management for all administrative organizations, operations and fiscal practices to support academic and research agendas with input from the diverse intellectual capital of the campus: Initially focused in the areas of comprehensive Enrollment Management, Marketing and Communications, Advancement, Legal Services, Governmental Relations and Community Engagement, and Strategic University Space Allocation” - “18 by ‘18” more likely to embrace it and help the institution evolve.” While Hopwood said she couldn’t guarantee departments wouldn’t shrink from job losses, she said the goal was simply to match tasks to talent. “This is not intended to be threatening; this is not intended to be a negative,” she said. “I have no intention of recommending anyone be terminated.” One of the other areas that is being reorganized in the first wave is alumni relations, which falls under Advancement in Ferguson’s goal. Cheri’ O’Neill,

president and CEO of the Ball State University foundation, is heading the reorganization. Instead of focusing on job descriptions and specific positions like Hopwood, O’Neill is trying to bring everyone in alumni relations together. “That way, hopefully we really streamline our messages with how we work with our alumni and friends, and also our students,” O’Neill said. “We want to make sure everything we’re doing is truly unified.” She said it’s important to have everyone working as streamlined as possible.

“It’s been great, bringing the structure together and really talking about skills and how can we utilize them best,” O’Neill said. O’Neill said the staff reacted positively to the announcement of the reorganization, sending a bouquet of flowers afterward. O’Neill also promised up front there would be no layoffs as a result. “There’s so many people that are passionate here,” she said. “The biggest thing is the excitement and love they have for Ball State and they see this as an opportunity to come together.” Mike Goldsby, executive director of the Entrepreneurship Center, said the reorganization should help Ferguson achieve his vision for the university. “Senior leadership in any kind of organization is about setting a vision and in order to have that vision fulfilled, you have to surround yourself with people with the same type of values and people who can be

very helpful in fulfilling that vision,” he said. Goldsby compared the university’s reorganization to Southwest Airline’s customer service over Delta. He said the Southwest Airlines founder’s plan was to make the employee happy and more cordial, which would in turn make the customers happy. “Most comes from bottom up — letting the university create small visions to fit within big vision,” Goldsby said. “That’s getting faculty engaged and they feel involved, and if they’re in a good state of mind and are excited, they’ll walk into the classroom and teach better. Everything starts from the top.” He said from the looks of the cultural change that is going on, he thinks it will be effective. “It won’t happen overnight, but the first indications across campus are very good,” he said. “The further we go down this path, the more excited we get.”

More than 1,000 people took part in the #AllAreWelcome rally on Saturday at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis to protest the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Indiana is now one of 20 states that have similar laws and acts.

RALLY:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I don’t think the government realized what they have done,” Cummings said. “All the work we have done to make the state attractive is gone. This is the first time in my life I say I’m not proud to be a Hoosier.” A big push at the rally was encouraging young people to vote. Indiana had the lowest voter turnout in the 2014 elections, with only 28.8 percent of registered voters showing up, according to electproject.org. One of the speakers at the rally and president of GEI Inc., JJ Gufreda, said the biggest thing people could do to change things is to step in and make their opinion

REACTIONS:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Nance Burchert, the executive director of the Muncie YWCA, said the YWCA locally and nationally stands for freedom, justice and dignity for all, and they “absolutely wouldn’t be” using the law. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard posted a statement and said he hoped the Statehouse wouldn’t have voted for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. “I don’t believe this legislation truly represents our state or our capital city,” Ballard said in his statement. “Indianapolis strives to be a welcoming place that attracts businesses, conventions, visitors and residents. We are a diverse city, and I want everyone who visits and lives in Indy to feel comfortable here. RFRA sends the wrong signal.” The Religious Freedom Restoration Act was passed in 1993 by Bill Clinton, and in 1997, Congress ruled the act

exceeded the powers of Congress, and while it could be used concerning federal issues, it could not be applied to the states, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica. Since then, 19 other states, including Illinois and Kentucky, have adopted legislation mimicking RFRA. But although SB 101 is similar to RFRA, the wording is not exact. Hilary Clinton tweeted her disapproval about the law Thursday night, saying “Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn’t discriminate against ppl bc [sic] of who they love #LGBT.” Joseph Marchal, a Ball State associate professor of religious studies, said in an email as the law is currently framed, it is just as likely to violate people’s religious freedoms as it is to protect them. “There are just as many, perhaps more, reasons to oppose this bill on the basis of Jewish, Christian or Muslim principles, as to support it,” Marchal said. He also said it contradicts the ‘Hoosier hospitality’ and

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RESTORATION ACTS BY STATE The federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act stopped applying to states after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1997. Since then, 20 states have passed RFRAs that are similiar to the original federal law; however, some states like Illinois have laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.

also the prominent and biblical ethic of hospitality. “In both the Jewish and Christian versions of the Bible, protection of, solidarity with and hospitality for the stranger, the foreigner and the one with whom you disagree are stressed,” Marchal

said. “Throughout the rest of the Jewish and Christian versions of the Bible, one of the main lessons of this story are the importance of hospitality to strangers…and the problem with ignoring the poor, the vulnerable and the needy.” Marchal said in some sens-

known and to vote. “All of you young people … get involved,” she said. “Vote my generation out and get everyone who voted for this bill out.” Chelsea Cooke, an Indianapolis resident, came to the rally with her wife. “Me and my wife feel threatened by the bill and are scared our son won’t be able to get health care,” Cooke said. “We came so Pence can know the state of Indiana is disgruntled by this and that it affects all of our lives.” She said the law went against the “Hoosier hospitality” Indiana is known for. Indiana now joins 19 other states that have similar laws, according to the National Conference of State Legislators. Other participants in the rally brought their children and grandchildren to expose them es, the people advocating for the law are engaging in what the biblical texts define as the sin of Sodom. “In short, they are ‘Statehouse Sodomites,’” Marchal said. But supporters of the law said the bill will not lead to discrimination. “Today I signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, because I support the freedom of religion for every Hoosier of every faith,” Pence said in a statement Thursday. “This bill is not about discrimination, and if I thought it legalized discrimination in any way in Indiana, I would have vetoed it. In fact, it does not even apply to disputes between private parties unless government action is involved. For more than twenty years, the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act has never undermined our nation’s anti-discrimination laws, and it will not in Indiana.” Micah Clark, executive director of the American Family Association of Indiana, said the law protects first amendment liberties in a way that other states do, but Indiana did not.

to issues like this early on. Bill Perry, an Indianapolis resident, said he thought the law was sinful and is something that’s going to be a black mark for Indiana. “This is taking us back about 60 years,” Perry said. “This is starting discrimination, this is giving [businesses] a way to discriminate against people.” Perry said this law will take businesses that are for diversity out of Indiana, which is something that is already starting to happen. Gen Con LLC already threatened to move their 2017 convention, Angie’s List put a hold on their expansion into Indianapolis and Salesforce is boycotting Indiana. “Indiana has come so far, and now to see this happen, … it’s ridiculous,” Perry said. “This law will help stop government overreaching and harming people,” Clark said. “No where in 22 years in any state or any federal case of RFRA has it ever been used for discrimination.” Clark said the words homosexual or sexuality are never mentioned in the law. “It is about governmental reach and limiting people’s first amendment religious freedoms,” he said. Clark said people don’t understand what this law is actually about. He cited an example of a Jewish athlete not allowed to wear a Yamaka because the team has to wear their uniforms. Not allowing him to wear it would be a violation of his religious practices. “When it comes to denying service to a homosexual or to an African American or something like that, RFRA has never been used for that, never,” Clark said. “This law is an effort for the courts, when the government takes action in a case, it must consider the religious liberties of people.”

Central Michigan would answer in the bottom of the third with two runs, but a two-run home run from Stuedemann in the top of the fourth gave Ball State a 7-4 advantage. The Cardinals added two more runs in the sixth off a double by senior Jessica Craft. Freshman pitcher Carolyn Wilmes picked up her fourth win of the season as Ball State won 9-5. “The girls showed a lot of heart today, never letting anything their opponents did get in their heads,” Perry said. “They could have quit or given up at certain points but they never did.” With the two victories, the Cardinals improve to 14-16 for the season and begin their chase for a fourth straight MAC regular season title with a 2-0 start.

Welsh-White’s biggest impact, however, is being a leader and providing energy on the bench. “Knowing that Senior Night has already come and gone is surreal,” Welsh-White said. “I hope someone will be able to take over and provide the energy the team needs.” At 12-13, Welsh-White, along with the other seniors, will look

The Ball State baseball team scored a season-high 16 runs in a 16-8 victory over Buffalo in the rubber match of a three-same series at Ball Diamond. Center fielder Matt Eppers got the Cardinals on the board first, with a two-RBI single in the second inning. Third baseman Sean Kennedy followed Eppers’ hit with a single of his own, extending the lead to 4-0. After the Cardinals reloaded the bases, catcher Jarett Rindfleisch hit a grand slam. Rindfleisch knocked his first four-hit game of his career, finishing with two singles, a triple and a grand slam. The Bulls scored two in the top of the third to cut the score to 8-2, but Cardinals’ shortstop Alex Maloney answered with his second home run of the season in the bottom of the frame. Ball State added two more runs in the fourth, four in the sixth and one in the seventh. B.J. Butler earned the win for Ball State. Butler pitched four innings, allowing six runs on six hits. With the win, the Cardinals improve to 18-8 on the season and 5-1 in the Mid-American Conference. Ball State returns to action Tuesday, hosting Valparaiso at 3 p.m. – STAFF REPORTS

The Ball State softball team opened MAC play on Saturday against Central Michigan. Junior pitcher Nicole Steinbach kept the comeback lead for the Cardinals in the seventh inning, allowing one Chippewa run.

After having its first double header canceled Friday, the Ball State softball team started off Mid-American Conference play on Saturday with two wins over Central Michigan. In game one, the Cardinals gave up six runs in the second inning. They cut the lead in half with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth. Central Michigan entered the seventh inning with a 6-3 lead before Ball State exploded for 11 runs, including two three-run home runs by Hanne Stuedemann and Emily Dabkowski. The Cardinals completed the comeback by allowing one run in the bottom of the seventh. Junior Nicole Steinbach (7-8) picked up the win on the mound. “We stopped worrying about the score and just decided to play ball and try to get on base, and it helped us relax and get on that run,” head coach Tyra Perry said. Ball State carried its momentum into the second game and picked up an early 1-0 lead after the first inning. Catcher Shelbie Scamihorn drove in Dabkowski with a single. Central Michigan took the lead in the second inning with two runs. However, Ball State offense took advantage of two throwing errors
