Ball State, Muncie community members march for racial injustice Rohith Rao and Jake Merkel Reporters

On a sunny Thursday afternoon several members of the Ball State and Muncie communities gathered outside Shafer Tower for the march protesting the death of George Floyd and racial injustice against African Americans.

Organized by Ishmael El-Amin, junior Ball State Basketball guard, and his roommate, Sultan “Mufasa” Benson, the peaceful protesters would march down to Muncie City Hall.

The protests began with eight minutes of silence, followed by speeches from the organizers and a short prayer. Eight minutes and 46 seconds is the length of time prosecutors say Floyd was pinned to the ground under a white Minneapolis police officer’s knee, according to the Associated Press.

El-Amin said the turnout proved to him that people want things to be different. “We’re done being tired, and we’re done being quiet,” he said.

He said it’s very important that the protests remain peaceful.

Biden picks Kamala Harris as running mate

Donald Trump claimed the authority to defer payroll taxes and replace an expired unemployment benefit after talks with Congress on a new rescue package fell through. Trump moved to paying a supplemental federal unemployment benefit, which could face legal challenges that would question the president’s authority to sidestep Congress.

presidential candidate Joe Biden chose California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate for the 2020 presidential election. Other potential candidates for the running mate position were Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Florida Rep. Val Demings, California Rep. Karen Bass and former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice.

MCS addresses issues of diversity, inclusion and racism Editor’s Note: This story is part of The Partnership Project, a series of content written in an effort by The Daily News to follow the formal collaboration of Ball State University and Muncie Community Schools. Read more in this series here.

In the wake of the death of George Floyd, Lee Ann Kwiatkowski, director of public education and CEO of Muncie Community Schools (MCS), sent out a statement Monday about Muncie Community Schools’ plan to address issues of diversity, inclusion and racism in the school district.

“Racism and racist violence, by action or inaction, is intolerable and unacceptable,” Kwiatkowski said in the statement. “The Black Lives Matter movement must include all of us as we support our black and

Moving forward, she said the schools’ actions moving forward must reflect the fact that black lives matter.

“We are committed to dismantling racism in our schools and acknowledge some practices that are unacceptable, including an inadequate representation of our black and brown educators, disproportionate discipline and euro-centered curriculum,” Kwiatkowski said.

Her statement listed different steps MCS has taken and will take in the future to address diversity, equity and inclusion:

Based on its recommendations, she and the committee and requested the MCS Board of

“This kind of proactive approach with our frontline workers responsible for the safety and well-being of everyone inside our schools is just one more way we can provide the best educational environment for every student,” she said.

Student behavior

Kwiatkowski said one of the foundational principles in the strategic plan of the joint MCS and Ball State academic innovation plan includes culturally relevant teaching and learning, She said this will be embedded in curriculum, professional development, social emotional learning and family and community involvement, among other steps taken by MCS.

She said the schools will “continue to work to eliminate racist and punitive policies and practices” and plan to “incorporate restorative practices.”

The groundwork for this, she said, has begun through the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports initiative and with the revamping of the 2020-21 Student Discipline Handbook.

Additionally, she said the schools are strengthening their Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) teams to proactively address student behavior so issues do not reach the level requiring suspensions.

She added, the schools will ensure minorities will be included, considered, and/or represented when it comes to identifying a panel of judges within the schools.

“It is what MCS does in the days, weeks and years ahead that will ultimately make a difference in the dismantling of anti-black racism that occurs within MCS and beyond,” Kwiatkowski said. “We are committed to a sustained effort to create change where there will truly be equity and justice for all.”

PROTEST Continued from Page 01

“For that to happen throughout the whole day is something we really hope that we’re able to do,” El-Amin said.

Benson thanked everyone that came out to the protests and reiterated the importance of having a peaceful protest.

“We are all her for peace,” he said. “We want to show them how we get this done.”

KeAyra Williams, a 2019 Ball State alumna, said she decided to come to Ball State for the protest from Indianapolis because it was a big cause for her.

“I am a black woman. At some point I’m going to have black children, a black husband. I don’t want my kids laying in the streets. I don’t want them dead. I don’t want their brothers dead. I don’t want my father dead, my grandfather,” Williams said. “This has to stop.”

Another protestor at the event was Chandler Bew, who reflected on when he first heard the news about Floyd’s death.

He said he was at his father’s house, watching the news when he first heard about the incident, and thought that the incident would lead to something.

“I think it’s justified,” Bew said about the protests in Minneapolis. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t justified.”

The protesters were also joined by people in the Ball State and Muncie community, like Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour and Muncie Police Department (MPD) Chief Nathan Sloan.

Ridneour said every protest in Muncie has been peaceful, informative and a chance for everyone to share their thoughts.

“It brings people together and anytime people can be together, the communication level rises,” he said. “They’re being heard.”

Sloan said he and MPD officers were invited by the organizers to join the protest and they wouldn’t miss the opportunity. He said nobody dislikes a bad cop as much as a good cop.

She said she will continue her research in the city of Zenica while comparing it with Muncie..

“I am curious to investigate how histories of capitalism and communism, ethnicity and race and gender have shaped these two cities,” Erickson said. “Twenty-five years after the 1992-95 war ended, Bosnian politicians are corrupt and the political structure is a joke, the economy is terrible, and people are frustrated, if not also resilient.

Many young people are leaving in search of jobs in Germany and other European countries.”

She said she sees a lot of similarities and differences between the two cities, and the comparisons she makes will help show where each city can improve.

Muncie, she said, is famous for glass, iron and steel factories while Zenica is famous for its steel factories, and such similarities would be good examples of industrial analysis. Erickson said her hands-on practice is important to her and she likes to do her

studies in-person to get more valuable information.

“Anthropology is a great job to have, but it’s best conducted in person which means traveling and closely observing everyday life in a place over time, which takes time and money,” she said.

Kiya Mullins, a graduate student in urban and

regional planning who travelled with Erickson in 2019, said the trip was “one of the best learning experiences ever.”

“Professor Erickson is an amazing teacher that allowed us to develop our own ways of investigation of cities and people, by providing opportunities to see as much as we could in the short time but pushing us to use new skills to grow academically and personally,” Mullins said.

Erickson said she loves her work and wants to see how Bosnia and Herzegovina and conceptualizations about a “normal life” in the country have changed over time.

“I love learning how other cultures work, how they think, the problems they have encountered and novel ways they have addressed them,” she said. “I love to learn new perspectives on my own culture, to understand the power of language, the role of history, to experience different geographies, to try new and different foods, hear new music, and of course, meet new people.”

Enjoying Nature on National Nature Photography Day

A lakeside view from inside the BWCA, 2018.

After hiking through the woods, it was finally time for Tyler to canoe in the water and paddle to his campsite. TYLER GRIFFITH, DN

T

yler Griffith is a senior Journalism major and interns for the Daily News. His views do not necessarily reflect those of the newspaper.

Today on National Nature Photography Day, I find myself looking through old pictures I took on my camping trip to the Minnesota/Canada Boundary Waters. For me this was more than just a camping trip, it was a life-changing experience that taught me a lesson that I still reflect on to this day.

My family has a long history with Mother Nature. In the summers, my dad’s side of the family would all retire to their cabins in Minnesota to spend time together on the lakes.

Growing up I heard many stories about these summers in Minnesota, but I never got the chance to experience it like my father did.

The cabins were eventually sold during a hard time in the family. I feared I’d never get the experience. That fear subsided in the summer of 2018 when my father told me we were making a trip up north to visit his brother for a camping trip.

I think that everyone should experience a stay in nature. I’m not talking about walking out to your backyard and watching the birds for a few minutes. I mean an extended stay in the environment, with nothing but Mother Nature surrounding you.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) stretches across 1,000,000+ acres of land located in the Superior National Forest in Northeastern Minnesota.

Established in 1978, BWCA is protected by the BWCA Wilderness Act which restricts mining, logging and motorized vehicles within the million acres of wilderness.

Campers can explore the more than 2000 campsites, paddle 1200 miles of canoe routes, or hike across the 12 designated trails.

The time finally came. We packed and started the drive up north. The three of us would spend the next four days in the wild living off the land, carrying what we needed in on our backs.

To get to our campsite, we had to travel roughly two-and-a-half miles. The first stretch by foot, the next by canoe. Once we arrived at our campsite, we had to pitch the tent, line our fishing poles and prepare our dinner for the night. The first night’s dinner consisted of Hamburger Helper, which was brought with us in our packs. That would be the last meal that wasn’t directly from nature. We went to bed and dreamed about the fish that we would catch the next day.

I awoke to the morning sun leaking through the walls of our tent. By habit, I immediately reached for my phone to see what notifications I got over night, but there was absolutely no

reception. My screen was blank. That is when it set in for me. I would be in the middle of the forest with no contact with anybody but those who hiked in with me. No longer would I be able to aimlessly scroll through social media when I was bored.

Uncertainty began to set in. My phone felt

Choices, no matter how big or small, have a direct impact on what our outcome will be.” like an extension of myself and on any other normal day, I’d spend my downtime on it.

The uncertainty subsided and the next few days are now known as some of the best days of my life. We didn’t have a set schedule, nowhere to be and no one to see. All we had to do was make sure we caught enough fish to stay full and enjoy each other’s company.

Everything we did in the woods had a direct impact on what the outcome of the trip would be. If we wasted time during daylight, we may not have enough firewood and food for the night. This made me reflect on the choices that

we make in our everyday lives. Choices, no matter how big or small, have a direct impact on what our outcome will be.

These forests have been around long before I was born and they will be around long after I’m gone. This made me reflect on life, as the time we spend on earth is relatively short. Realizing that our time here is limited forced me to be more conscious of my decisions in life.

In March, a lot of state parks and campgrounds were closed to stop the spread of COVID-19. According to Indiana’s “Back On Track” plan, campsites were supposed to open by May 24 while following social distancing guidelines. State parks are allowed to open, with few facilities and services restricted, making it the perfect time to reconnect with nature.

In today’s society it feels that everything is so centered around technology that sometimes we can’t imagine our lives without it. I spent my time in the woods soaking up the world that was a few feet in front of me, instead of inches ahead of me on my screen.

Technology is very valuable, don’t get me wrong, but there are a lot of distractions involved as well. If we don’t put it down every once in a while we can easily forget the beauty of the natural world.

Ball State to create official varsity esports team Ball State is creating a varsity esports team, joining more than 300 colleges and universities to compete nationally in the digital sport, according to a press release from the university.

The university will join 12 members of the MidAmerican Conference (MAC) during fall semester for the 2020-21 season in the newly created independent Esports Collegiate Conference (ESC), the press release states.

MAC leadership announced the new venture today, it states, adding ESC is an independent entity and will operate separately from the MAC. ESC will provide structure, scheduling and championship opportunities for its membership, an ESC press release states.

ESC will feature fall and spring seasons. Titles being considered for the fall include games like Rocket League, Fortnite, Super Smash Bros., Madden NFL and FIFA. The spring season competition will be in Overwatch and League of Legends, the press release states.

An ESC Champion will be crowned in each game title, with the champion earning an automatic bid to the national postseason tournament, it states.

“The creation of Esports Collegiate represents the foresight of our presidents to establish a stand-alone competitive framework for collegiate esports competitors and enthusiasts,” said Jon Steinbrecher, MAC commissioner, in the ESC press release. “I look forward to this organization maturing and growing, facilitating excellent competitive opportunities, fostering teamwork, and providing even more reasons to attend an Esports Collegiate member institution.”

Greg Crawford, president of Miami University, will serve as the president of the ESC board of directors, the press release states.

“I, along with my presidential colleagues are thrilled by the creation of the Esports Collegiate Conference,” Crawford said. “Esports has a growing presence on all of our campuses.

Esports Collegiate will provide a framework for competition among peers, and afford another opportunity for student engagement.”

A seven-member competition committee has been established to oversee scheduling, game title selection and recommendations, championship format and any other infrastructure issues that may arise.

ESC’s website states competitions will be played online at individual campus sites and teams will not need to travel for regular season competition.

President Geoffrey Mearns said in the Ball State press release the program provides students with a new source for school spirit and pride in their own campus community.

Currently, the university has Cardinal Esports, an active club team with about 500 participants, the press release states.

I, along with my presidential colleagues are thrilled by the creation of the Esports Collegiate Conference. Esports has a growing presence on all of our campuses. Esports Collegiate will provide a framework for competition among peers, and afford another opportunity for student engagement.”

Paaige Turner, dean of Ball State’s College of Communication, Information, and Media (CCIM), said in the press release the new varsitylevel team will enhance academic offerings by bringing esports experiences into curricula across multiple disciplines — including digital sports production, business, computer sciences, animation, and sport administration.

Turner said the new venture will provide students with a sports team that mirrors their interests and support those who are interested in employment opportunities in the fast-growing field.

“This is a sport that is spreading across the globe,” she said, acknowledging the financial and job growth in the esports industry. “Our team

will make Ball State even more attractive to high achieving students around the nation.”

The varsity team, Turner said, will be housed within CCIM and a search for a coach will be underway soon.

Alex Kartman, lecturer of telecommunications and director of digital sports production at Ball State, has been spearheading Ball State’s efforts to create a varsity-level program, the press release states.

“Varsity esports competition is a new way we will provide students distinctive opportunities to learn and make connections with their peers and the community,” Kartman said. “Through our esports opportunities, students will find their passion and purpose at Ball State.”

TALKING FROM A DISTANCE Ball State professors develop messaging service for Burmese refugees.

Daniel O’Connell Reporter Two Ball State professors have created a textmessaging information service for the Burmese refugee population in Indianapolis. The service, which can translate 500 messages into Hakha Chin and Burmese, provides maternal and child health care information.

The project is headed by Jean Marie Place and Mengxi Zhang, two assistant professors of health science at Ball State’s college of health.

Place said the idea originated with knowledge that public-communicated text messages have been known to change knowledge and behavior in various populations. It was also recognized by Place that there were problems with transportation and the language barrier that the Burmese population in Indianapolis faced.

The professors hatched an idea to use a texting service providing health information.

“We wanted to help address that gap,” Place said. “Using a text messaging system could help bypass the barriers these women faced, especially while pregnant or raising small children.”

Place and Zhang hope that this service will lead to better birth outcomes for Burmese women and their children, as the service provides

free information on interconception, prenatal and postpartum health. The service also gives resources in the community that will provide a translation service.

We wanted to help address that gap. Using a text messaging system could help bypass the barriers these women faced, especially while pregnant or raising small children.”

the Burmese American Community Institute to create and develop the project. The institute helped facilitate the research for the project and collect data. Place said that they “were very grateful” for their help.

According to Zhang, data shows there are several problems that the Burmese community face. Aside from issues accessing health care due to the language barrier and transportation, the biggest problems they face are mental health issues and high prevalence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.

While the institute helped Place and Zhang with the health and cultural side of the project, both the IU Health School of Medicine and Indiana State Department of Health contributed to the text message aspect of the project. They mainly helped Zhang and Place by providing sample text

messages to use as a basis. They also work with healthcare providers in the Burmese community to revise the messages to fit the problems that are affecting them.

“All the interviews were and will be conducted in Burmese and Hakha Chin,” Zhang said.

Both professors said they believe the messaging service is a way of addressing gaps in the system that affect the disadvantaged refugees. They said it’s important for everyone to understand and research the push and pull factors affecting refugees and forcing them to resettle.

“Hopefully, the message service will inspire greater change for the Burmese refugees,” Place said.

MUNCIE ORIGINS: Forever Young Children’s Boutique Amanda Hughes reflects on returning to Muncie to start her business and her experiences.

Taylor Marshall Reporter Amanda Hughes, owner of Forever Young Children’s Boutique, has always known she was a business woman at heart.

“As a small child, I sold crafts and things that I would make up and sell around my neighborhood,” Hughes said. “Before opening the store, I hadn’t had any experience actually running a business.”

Although Hughes had never actually ran a business herself, her previous experiences prepared her for the challenge, she said. She worked for a manufacturer, where she gained customer service experience, and she worked for the Minnetrista, where she got experience in hospitality and events. She then went on to obtain a business management degree from Anderson University and returned to Muncie in 2016 to begin her business life at the children’s boutique.

“I never imagined what my business would be until I had children myself and decided that my hometown needed a boutique for kiddos, Hughes said. “Having my own really helped me

see a vision.”

Supporting local charities and giving back to the community has always been something that was important to her, Hughes said, and she knew she wanted to incorporate it into her business since the beginning. The children’s boutique donates to four different charities.

“Our hometown is important and the uprising of our downtown is important,” Hughes said.

“We currently support the Women’s Mission with donations, First Choice for Women, Bridges Community services, and The Foster Closet. All of these missions are important to the women and children of this community.”

As the owner of the brick and mortar, Hughes keeps herself busy with endless responsibilities.

While it may seem like it never ends, she said she loves it and “wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“I am the manager, store designer, buyer, point of sale associate, e-commerce manager, cleaning lady and all. It never ends, but I love it so much I wouldn’t have it any other way. I enjoy everything I do.”

loyal customers, one being a local grandmother, Roberta Smith, who says her favorite part about shopping at the boutique is the uniqueness of the clothing.

A lot of the brands sold at the children’s boutique are unique items, that shoppers can’t find any regular retail store, Hughes said.

“The style of the clothing is just different.

It’s not something that you see everywhere. I shop for my granddaughter and not every little girl I see has on that line of clothing. There are different and unique patterns that wash and wear very well.”

Smith said her first time going into Forever Young Boutique was plain and simple: fun.

She had nothing but positive things to say about the owner.

“I think the owner, Amanda, makes this store feel very unique,” she said. “She puts a personal touch on everything she sells and she gives recommendations that I wouldn’t get at a big box retailer.”

Mac cancels fall football season due to virus

COVID-19 stalls college football , university presidents looking for new spring season Associated Press

By Ralph D. Russo The Mid-American Conference on Saturday became the first league competing at college football’s highest level to cancel its fall season because of COVID-19 concerns.

A person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press the university president’s voted to not play in the fall and consider a spring season. The person spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because an official announcement was still being prepared.

With the MAC’s 12 schools facing a significant financial burden by trying to maintain costly coronavirus protocols, the conference’s university presidents made the decision to explore a spring season.

MAC schools rely heavily on revenue from playing road games against power conference teams. Most of those games were canceled when the Power Five went to exclusively or mostly conference games. Without them, the strain of trying to implement all that it would take to keep players and staff safe during a pandemic became too much.

tips for stargazing in your own backyard and beyond

Sarah Jensen Reporter With summer in session, warm nights are the perfect time to get outside and look at the sky.

Stargazing is a hobby anyone can pick up and it can be an inexpensive way to connect with nature and the universe around us. Here are six tips that will help you appreciate this activity.

1. Look for clear skies The only thing you truly need to stargaze is a patch of clear sky. It’s important to look for evenings with no cloud cover and less humidity because it can cause a haze and prevent you from seeing as much of the sky as possible. It also helps to try and limit the light pollution around you, which can obscure your view of the sky. You can do this by getting away from street lights and buildings, if possible. If not, you can still see plenty of the brighter stars even with light pollution.

2. Let your eyes adapt to the darkness The longer you look up at the dark sky, the more stars you will begin to see. This is because of a process our eyes undergo, called dark adaptation.

Our eyes are able to adjust and become more sensitive to smaller sources of light over time. This process typically takes our eyes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to reach our maximum night vision. That being said, it’s important to not look at bright lights, such as street lamps or cell phones, while our eyes are adjusting.

When stargazing, it can be useful to have a red light with you for seeing things in the dark. Red lights allow for you to have visible light without affecting your eye’s dark adaptation. Some astronomy apps offer red light interfaces so you can still use your phone to learn about the sky while you’re stargazing.

3. Download astronomy apps One of the best ways to learn about the stars you see in the sky is through astronomy apps. They sometimes allow you to point your phone at the sky and tell you what stars, constellations, satellites and comets you are viewing. Here are a few popular apps recommended by Rachel Williamson, Charles W. Brown Planetarium show specialist, that can help you learn about the night sky while you are stargazing.

Google Sky: This free website helps you explore the far reaches of the universe using Google Maps to position the planets and constellations with your own surroundings.

Stellarium: There is a $2.99 mobile version and

a $9.99 version. The mobile option has an extensive catalog of space information. There is also a free open source planetarium computer program. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with your own eyes.

SkySafari: This smartphone app costs $3 for the artificial reality version and there is a plus version for $14.99 and a pro version for $39.99. This app shows you 120,000 stars, 222 of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky; including all of the Solar System’s major planets and moons, and more than 200 asteroids, comets, and satellites.

Star Tracker: This smartphone app has a free lite version and a pro version for $3. You can see stars, constellations and deep sky objects by pointing your phone at the sky and all of this data is available offline

4. Be prepared When stargazing, you want to make sure you are prepared to be outside for a while. Blankets, lawn chairs, bug spray, drinks and snacks are good to bring, as well as a red light and phone charger.

If you are stargazing from home, it’s still a good idea to get all of your supplies nearby so you aren’t having to turn on lights and lose your dark adaptation. If you have binoculars, they can help you see stars in more detail, however, they aren’t necessary to get a good view of the sky.

5. Look for easily recognizable constellations The Earth is constantly rotating on its axis, but the stars are fixed. So, while the stars appear to be rotating, they are moving together across the sky.

Being able to recognize a few constellations allows you to learn more about the Earth’s celestial sphere.

6. Find stargazing friends Finding people who either know a lot about the stars already or want to learn alongside you can make your stargazing experience even better.

Many communities have local astronomy groups that encourage new membership of any skill level.

In Muncie, there is the Muncie Astronomy Club.

They host and attend astronomy classes as well as hold sky tours around Muncie. There is also the Charles W. Brown Planetarium on Ball State’s campus, which typically holds free astronomy shows for the public. It can also be beneficial to join Facebook groups or online forums for more tips and tricks about stargazing.

Intern reflects on summer internship at CNO Financial Group Weiyu Ding Reporter Tyler Hollis, junior actuarial science major, spent his summer as intern working virtually for CNO Financial Group.

Hollis said in an email he was working with the company’s health valuation team in their actuarial department.

“As of the first week of the internship, I am learning more actuarial language and getting to understand the programs/software that are used in the department through various tasks assigned to me by my manager,” he said.

Carolyn O’Donnell, vice president of organizational development at CNO, said in an email due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s summer internship has been changed to an online virtual internship.

“A virtual intern program experience, though directed by our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, also serves to prepare our interns for the ever-increasing virtual workforce that will continue to grow throughout their careers,” O’Donnell said.

She said CNO is committed to helping provide students quality summer internships.

“Our summer internship program has long been a core part of who we are here, and this public health crisis won’t stop us from giving both young grads and our own business a leg up by helping these interns gain meaningful real-life work experience,” O’Donnell said.

Hollis said CNO is doing a good job with its remote internships because it imitates real-life internships.

“I am still able to connect with co-workers and executives through virtual meetings where we can introduce ourselves and get to know each other as if we are talking in person,” he said.

One advantage of virtual internships, O’Donnell said, was an improvement in communication between interns and employees.

“Associates are participating more and connecting more as office geography doesn’t play a role any longer,” O’Donnell said.

She said it also adds a more lighthearted “humanizing” component in their day-to-day interactions.

“In an office, although you have small talk about the weather and weekend plans, you don’t see someone’s family member unexpectedly do an unintended photo bomb or dog jump up and lick someone’s face,” O’Donnell said.

In general, she said she believes remote internships can be useful in an intern’s career.

“I believe that that going virtual will challenge our interns to be self-starters and really hone their time management skills,” O’Donnell said.

“Additionally, this experience will help push our interns to take the initiative and be proactive self-starters, which are skills that will help them throughout their careers.”

She said she sees benefits of remote internships like interacting with some of the company’s key initiatives — one being diversity and inclusion — “which fosters and encourages an inclusive work environment.”

Hollis said he encourages other students to always consider doing internships during their academic journeys, even if working virtually isn’t the ideal situation. He said CNO’s virtual internship program mimics the “in-real-life” feel of the original in-person internship.

“If anyone has doubts about getting out and trying to get an internship, I would advise them to work towards getting one because it allows them to experience much more about how a ‘realworld’ job functions, as well as, permitting you to build connections that you can use when you are ready to find a full-time job after you graduate college,” he said.

Campus COVID-19 plan

Student will be required to adjust to certain changes at Ball State in the fall.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Ball State has implemented numerous changes, some directly impacting students in their academic, social and extracurricular life.

Academic changes:

What you need: • 1 pack of ramen noodles • 3 chopped baby portobello mushrooms • 1 chopped celery stick • A cup of baby spinach • 2 chopped green onions • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • ½ tablespoon Sriracha sauce or gochujang chili sauce • Red pepper flakes • 1 egg • Water

08.20.20

While Ball State will commence classes Aug. 24, it will do so consistent with guidelines from federal, state and local public health officials, according to Ball State’s reopening plan . These changes might include more evening and weekend class sessions, if necessary, and dividing larger classes into smaller sections.

The two-day fall break and Labor Day weekend will not be observed as usual and classes will be held on those days.

Additionally, instructors will front load learning activities earlier on the semester in order to complete them before Thanksgiving break so that students can return back home and continue their classes, complete projects and take examinations online for the remainder of the semester.

More classes will be made available online, especially to accommodate faculty and students who belong to higherrisk populations.

and employees.

Face masks and other safety protocols: Students will generally be expected to wear their face masks or face shields during in-person class sessions, according to the plan. Students will also be required to wear them in the presence of people where physical distancing might be difficult to maintain, like hallways, elevators, stairs, public spaces and common areas, and in campus transportation.

Wearing a face mask is not required when working alone in a private office or work space, nor is it required when working behind a plexiglass barrier.

However, students will have to wear masks or shields when in a classroom or laboratory where

physical distancing might not be possible.

Ball State will also be providing up to two washable and reusable face masks to all students who request them.

The Office of the Dean of Students will provide additional information regarding where to collect these face masks prior to the start of the fall semester.

Students will also be required to follow physical distancing guidelines and practice personal sanitization measures when feasible. This includes avoiding crowded places and mass gatherings, avoiding physical contact with others like hugging and handshakes and keeping distance from those exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.

While frequent handwashing is the first line of defense against COVID-19, students are also

encouraged to carry their own hand sanitizer. They are also encouraged to carry their own water bottles to avoid drinking from common water fountains which might not be operational due to the pandemic. Students should also avoid sharing personal items, supplies and equipment with other students.

Specific guidelines for student organizations, residence halls, dining facilities, recreation services, transportation, athletes etc. can be found on Ball State’s COVID-19 website. Regular updates on new rules and guidelines and new announcements from the university regarding the pandemic are usually communicated via campus-wide emails and made available on this website.

Recreation during the pandemic Ball State’s Recreation Services reopened its locations, hours and programming July 6.

In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Ball State’s Recreation Services reopened its locations, hours and programming July 6 based on available staffing and with certain guidelines and restrictions for the fall semester.

Classes and outdoor exercise Class sizes will be spaced to accommodate physical distancing of at least 6 feet between people and equipment, according to the recreation reopening plan.

Programming that does not provide the ability to maintain this physical distancing requirement will be suspended, modified or have its capacity limited.

Outdoor exercise classes may be an alternative option, promoting existing outdoor activities such as the trips and clinics provided by the Recreation Services’ Outdoor Pursuits program.

For trips, Recreation Services will transport participants in vehicles that can seat eight passengers and institute a requirement for face masks to be worn in the vehicle, the plan states.

Participants will also be allowed to drive themselves to trip locations to promote physical distancing.

Additionally, Recreation Services will continue creating and offering virtual options.

Equipment and other services Equipment will be spaced to accommodate physical distancing, according to the plan. Facility layouts will be modified, use of equipment limited, and additional rooms

and locations may be used to space equipment appropriately where possible.

Those who use equipment will be required to clean and disinfect it after each use.

Checking out communal equipment will be limited to equipment that is easy to clean and sanitize efficiently and effectively. Additionally, people will be encouraged to bring their own equipment such as basketballs and racquets.

Outdoor Pursuits Rental Center hours may vary. A 72-96 hour holding period between rental returns will be implemented for all equipment that cannot be easily cleaned and disinfected. This holding period may be reduced or increased based on guidance regarding environmental health and safety.

While locker rooms and lockers will be made available, towel and laundry services will be suspended until further notice. People must bring their own towels, come dressed to workout and are encouraged to bring their own water bottles to their workouts.

Guest passes will not be available until further notice.

Co-curricular activities Physical contact will be permitted according to this schedule: • Informal recreation: July 6 • Sport clubs: Aug. 24 • Intramural sports: Sept. 7 Sport clubs and intramural sports present challenges when it comes to physical distancing and minimizations of groups, particularly with contact sports, according to the plan. University guidelines will apply to all these sports and special considerations will apply to protect participants, staff safety officers and coaches

as necessary.

Spectators for co-curricular activities will be asked or reminded via signage and/or announcements to physically distance and wear face masks.

Decisions about holding activities such as practices and events and under what conditions will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Other practices People are strongly encouraged to wear face masks when physical distancing cannot be reasonably maintained.

Recreation Services will maintain its normal cleaning and disinfecting schedules with heightened cleaning schedules for high-touch public equipment and areas.

Additionally, consideration will be given to expanding crowdsourced cleaning.

Signage regarding face masks, hygiene, and physical distancing will be posted and promoted. Appropriate signage will be posted at entrances and within buildings indicating pathways and positions for standing, waiting and other things where applicable.

A foaming hand sanitizer dispenser will be available upon entry to all buildings.

Physical barriers such as sneeze guards and partitions will be placed at locations where frequent face-to-face interaction occurs.

Facilities may be closed at various times of the day to increase environmental cleaning and disinfection.

Some facilities, like pools and the climbing wall, may require sign-up times for various locations to ensure appropriate capacity limits.

Housing during the pandemic

In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Ball State Housing made some adjustments to the housing options available for students living in residence halls.

In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Ball State Housing made some adjustments to the housing options available for students living in residence halls, according to its website and emails forwarded to residence hall students.

While students already have completed their housing forms and have been given their housing assignments, the following are a list of changes outlined by Housing for students living in residence halls at the start of the fall 2020 semester:

Moving in: After room assignments are sent out, students will receive an email with directions to schedule an appointment, which will be available starting early August, to bring their belongings to campus, according to the Ball State website.

During their scheduled appointment time, students will receive their room key and may bring their items and place them into their assigned rooms.

Housing is unable to house students until either Aug. 19 or 20 depending on the premium or standard plans.

Appointment slots will be scheduled by residence hall and will be coordinated to reduce the volume of people using common spaces at any given time.

Anyone entering a residence hall will be asked to wear a face mask as they move belongings into their rooms. Students are also asked to limit the number of personal belongings they bring to campus this year to make cleaning and disinfecting easier.

If a student is unable to utilize the appointment system, they may move in on the appropriate contract date or between Aug 21-23.

Quarantine and Isolation Accommodations: If a student is exposed to, or become sick with COVID-19,

the university will work with the student to have a room on campus while self-quarantining or isolating, according to the website. Students will need to work with their health care provider to make sure that staying on campus is the best choice for them.

Quarantine housing will be provided to students who have had close contact with an individual who has had symptoms or tests positive for COVID-19, and have the recommendation of the medical director of the Health Center.

Students will live in quarantine housing for 14 days, or until the director of the Health Center provides authorization to leave quarantine to ensure they have not contracted COVID-19.

Isolation housing will be provided to students who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Students will be required to live in isolation housing for the period of time recommended by the CDC and until clearance is given by the Health Center to return to campus activities.

Students who need to quarantine or isolate will not be permitted to do so in their regular rooms and will be moved into specially designated space on campus for the 14-day duration.

They will have the option to move home for the quarantine or isolation period if their health care provider and family believe it is preferable.

No visitors, including family members, will be permitted in quarantine or isolation housing.

If a student leaves campus and travels internationally, they are requested to quarantine for 14 days before returning to campus.

Safety practices: Apart from deep-cleaning and disinfecting all rooms prior to move-in, cleaning and disinfecting other high touch surfaces and areas and

While visitors to residence halls will be allowed, they will not be permitted to stay past midnight. There will be a limit of three people allowed in a residence hall room at any given time, including the resident and roommate, and visitors will not be permitted to stay overnight.

Water fountains and water bottle filling stations will be turned off. Students are

encouraged to bring bottled water. Kitchenettes and some other common spaces will be closed following CDC guidelines. A complete list of common spaces that will be closed is still being finalized.

Students will be asked to wear a face mask when in any public areas of their residence hall to help reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.

While a number of hand sanitizing stations will be available in residence halls and other campus buildings, students will be responsible

for bringing personal cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and other disinfectant products for use within their room.

Thanksgiving break: Residence halls will be closed during Thanksgiving break through the end of the fall 2020 semester, the website states.

Students returning for the spring 2021 semester will be permitted to leave their belongings in their rooms over the extended break period.

In rare circumstances,

a student with compelling reasons may be permitted to stay on campus with advanced special permission of the director of Housing and Residence Life.

Plans are still being finalized for billing procedures among other things for the fall 2020 semester. Students and parents will be updated on new developments via email from Housing, on its social media page and updates posted on its FAQ website.

LIBRARIES DURING THE PANDEMIC

Ball State University Libraries is reopening in phases culminating in full, on-site support for returning students and faculty at the beginning of the fall 2020 semester, according to the Ball State website.

The website states that University Libraries is prepared to support HyFlex courses and online learning — a hybrid learning course design model that gives students the option of attending sessions in the classroom, participating online, or doing both.

The libraries will continue to serve campus and provide information access if a COVID-19 resurgence were to force campus to unexpectedly pivot to online-only instruction before Thanksgiving break during the fall semester, the plan states.

Phase 1: until July 31 Following the installation of plexiglass barriers and availability of sufficient personal protective equipment for staff, University Libraries opened in July to Ball State researchers, according to the website. The libraries were providing essential access to physical collections and other user services.

During this time, the libraries encouraged use of curbside or virtual services, rather than inperson attendance.

These services included trunk delivery of circulating physical materials and equipment, electronic interlibrary loan and document delivery, electronic reading lists, virtual reference, online instruction and consultation services, and remote desktop access to specialized,

custodial software.

Researchers were able to schedule appointments by contacting the libraries’ main circulation during weekday business hours. Researchers had to present their valid Ball State ID, practice physical distancing, wear a face mask and follow no-contact checkout protocols.

Phase 2: Aug. 1-15 University Libraries will open to the general public and community users Aug. 2 maintaining the following hours: Bracken Library: • Monday-Thursday: 7 a.m.-9 p.m.

• Friday: 7 a.m.-6 p.m.

• Saturday: 9 a.m.-6 p.m.

• Sunday: 10 a.m.-9 p.m.

Branch Libraries: • Monday-Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Other: • Archives and Special

Collections: MondayFriday, 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

• GIS Research and Map Collection: MondayFriday, 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

• Drawings + Documents Archive: Monday-Friday, by appointment.

The libraries will continue to maintain no-contact protocols for circulation transactions and virtual delivery of reference and consultation services, the plan states.

Some physical distancing measures include small group study rooms being designated for individual use only, large study rooms and instructional spaces maintaining physical distancing, service areas with small or limited spaces being open by appointment only or with limited

concurrent use, physical distancing furniture reconfigurations and reduced public computer access.

Phase 3: Fall 2020 semester Beginning Aug. 16, the website states that University Libraries will resume regular semester operating hours with all measures described above in place.

Throughout the semester, the libraries will continue to provide curbside and virtual services to faculty and students unable to enter the libraries due to health vulnerabilities.

Hours of on-site operation after the Thanksgiving holiday will be assessed and may be reduced, since students will not return to campus.

3,007 of those Cardinals are coming from across Indiana and 240 Cardinals are from bordering states like Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan.

Cardinals will be traveling from 31 out of the 50 states with 10 states (and the District of Columbia) only having one student moving to Muncie.
