The Kelley School of Business is located in Hodge Hall at 1275 E. 10th St. MBA candidate Casey Bufford created a petition outlining changes for the Kelley School of Business to make to increase diversity and inclusion.

Student creates petition, Kelley to implement changes

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

The Kelley School of Business pledged to use diversity and inclusion initiatives and implement curriculum changes outlined in a petition created by an MBA candidate and added other plans to increase diversity and inclusion.

“We stand with our racially diverse students and alumni in solidarity and we are deeply committed to working together,” said a letter to MBA student Casey Bufford, a Black woman who created the petition. Dean Idie Jesner, MBA program chair Kyle Cattani and Ash Soni, executive associate dean for academic programs signed the letter to Bufford.

The administrators wrote that core curriculum professors will add business cases and assignments about underrepresented communities and women to their course plans.

One of the petition’s requests was for the core curriculum to use an educational business case that involves Black leaders or Black businesses. Bufford said she no-

ticed that many of the business cases she has to solve were not very diverse.

“The faculty does a good job of incorporating cases and relevant experiential learning opportunities to create an engaging learning environment across cohorts.

Most students rely on this foundation to propel their MBA journey,” she said in the petition. “The core, however, does not address many of the foundational issues that business leaders and businesses are faced with today, one being racial inequality in America.”

She also asked that the case not only identify Black leaders or Black businesses but also require students to read a Harvard Business School article titled, “African American Inequality in the United States”, which gives background about racial inequality in the U.S. and the result.

Bufford said in the petition she wanted the Kelley School to hire a professional educator to teach this case in two sessions.

All Kelley faculty and staff will also participate in diversity and inclusion training every year. Buf-

ford requested an experienced person of color lead this initiative in the petition.

There will be more diversity, inclusion and equity cases in the Kelley Direct Online program as well as a case in Kelley’s MBA orientation program Me, Inc., according to the letter. The MBA administration will also communicate with members of the MBA Consortium, an organization of students who advocate for diversity in business, to see how else they can improve inclusion and diversity in Kelley.

Bufford said she started the petition on June 5.

“I woke up that morning wanting to do something given all the protests around the country and having a passion for Kelley and just my Kelley experience, just wanting to do something to bring about change,” she said.

Bufford said she only expected a couple hundred signatures.

Over 2,500 people, including students, staff, faculty and alumni signed it in about a week.

With elderly populations in close quarters, nursing homes across the world have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, including in Bloomington.

The Golden LivingCenters facility in Bloomington, one of 23 facilities around Indiana operated by the same company, has had what appears to be one of the largest outbreaks in Monroe County.

Four long-term care facilities in the county are listed on 13 WTHR’s Indiana Long-Term Care Facility COVID-19 Statistics page, including the Bloomington LivingCenter. As of June 2, the Bloomington LivingCenter had reported 45 cases and five deaths, out of approximately 120 residents, while the other three institutions reported a total of five cases and zero deaths. Updated numbers are not available.

Additionally, at least nine Bloomington Golden Living staff members have tested positive for COVID-19, out of around 110 employees. According to the Indiana State Department of Health, as of June 16 Monroe County has only 23 confirmed COVID deaths, making the five deaths from Golden Living a significant percentage.

Two current Bloomington Golden Living staff said that they could not speak to the press, and calls and emails to the director of the Bloomington center and the media contact for statewide Golden LivingCenters went unanswered.

However, former staff members and family members of people currently living at the Bloomington LivingCenter expressed concerns about the center’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis.

“Up to now, they have consistently called me if my dad even got a vitamin shot,” said Elaine Guinn, an Indianapolis-area resident whose father, Elmer Guinn, lives at the center.

Bloomington resident Eliza Carey, whose father, James Carey, lives at Golden Living, concurred, saying that the staff are usually very

responsive and tell her everything that occurs in the center.

Guinn said that she first became aware of changes on May 23, when she received a “chipper” call saying that her father had been moved to a new room.

Though she was not initially alarmed, when she called back to ask why he had been moved, she said that she had to persistently ask for an explanation until a nurse told her that his roommate had tested positive for COVID-19.

Not long after her call with the nursing home, Guinn said she posted on Facebook about her experience and it was covered in the Bloomingtonian. Former employees and other children of residents began to reach out to her about deaths and higher numbers of cases that had not been shared publicly.

“I started getting nervous at this point,” Guinn said. “I was completely shocked. They are hiding things.”

She added that the timeline of her experiences and things that Golden Living told other media sources differed, and that various promises of more communication and information had fallen through.

Carey had similar experiences with communication. She said that after finding out from a late night call that her father had tested positive for COVID-19, she tried several times to call the center back and was put on hold and never connected. She was told someone would reach out to organize a Zoom call with her father, but it took nearly a month to finally happen. Between March and June 1, she said that she had no communication with her father, who she normally calls and visits regularly.

“It’s just been so many things they could have done better,” Carey said. “I would have been more understanding if I had had more communication.”

One former employee, who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, said she quit after over 10 years working at the BloomSEE COVID, PAGE 3

The Monroe County Health Department is investigating a spike in COVID-19 cases after 12 new cases were reported in the county on Tuesday, according to a health department press release and data on the Indiana State Health Department website.

There were also five new deaths confirmed Wednesday that occurred between June 3 and June 14. According to Penny Caudill, Monroe County health department administrator, deaths may not be counted in the official ISDH dashboard until days after they occur.

According to the press release, half the new cases were in patients under 50 while the other half were older than 50. All five newly reported deaths were patients over 60 who resided in long-term care facilities.

Tuesday had the highest number of cases reported in Monroe County in a single day since the first case was reported March 21.

April 9 had the second-highest number of newly reported cases with 11 confirmed cases. After the Tuesday spike, two new cases were reported Wednesday.

According to Caudill, the ISDH will perform contact tracing to determine whether further action should be taken in the community to prevent the virus from spreading.

2021 forward Patterson picks Villanova over IU Thursday

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

Four-star 2021 small-forward Trey Patterson announced his commitment to Villanova University over IU Thursday night.

Patterson, a Somerset, New Jersey, native, is ranked No. 26 overall in his class and No. 1 in the state, according to ESPN. It was widely expected by recruiting experts that Patterson, who stands 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds, was headed to Villanova.

Patterson was considering 10 schools, before whittling his list down Monday to Villanova, The University of Florida and IU.

“I’ve been working toward this my whole life,” Patterson said in an interview with The Front Office Monday. "Like you said, all those early morning workouts, all those late nights working out, this is what it’s all down to.”

Last season, Patterson netted 19.8 points per game and snatched just over 10 rebounds per game, while helping guide Rutgers Preparatory School to its first Somerset County Tournament crown in more than 35 years. He was named to the AllState second team by NJ.com for his efforts.

247sports Director of Basketball Scouting Jerry Meyer wrote that Patterson “is a run-and-

jump athlete more than a lateral or explosive athlete." Meyer added that Patterson "shoots the ball well to behind the arc, but has a slow release at this point."

Meyer also noted that Patterson has good body control and can finish at the rim with both hands. However, Patterson's defensive versatility and ball handling skills still need work, according to Meyer.

In the offseason, the Hoosiers suffered the losses of rising junior guard Damezi Anderson and rising senior Justin Smith, who both transferred out of the program.

IU not expecting large drop in fall 2020 enrollment

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

LILLY ST. ANGLEO | IDS

Doug Voigt, designer and planner from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, discusses the scale of the hospital site project and how it can be used to reflect Bloomington’s values during a town hall discussion June 18. The discussion was the first of four that will be held.

City starts public discussion

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

The city had the first of four public discussions about the IU Health Bloomington Hospital site redevelopment process on Zoom on Tuesday evening.

The city bought the 24acre hospital site in 2018 after IU Health decided to build the IU Health Regional Academic Health Center, where the hospital will move in 2021. The future of the site is undetermined but is anticipated to have various features including housing, green space, retail and possibly a community center.

Designer and planner Doug Voigt from the architecture and urban planning firm heading the project, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, presented the broad vision for the site including incorporating the theme of health and wellness into the future plan to honor the hospital’s former presence there.

Voigt talked about the location of the site on the B-Line and how it’s sandwiched between the neighborhoods of Prospect Hill and McDoel Gardens. These geographic factors will influence what is planned for the site, and neighborhood associations will be involved in the discussion, committee members said.

More than 200 people were consulted in stakeholder meetings by the architecture and urban planning firm in May, including

community leaders, businesses and people who live around the site. The firm is now drawing up a report of these meetings.

“The more people that are involved, the more conversations we have, the more the planners can focus in on what our community values are,” said Vi Simpson, former Indiana senator and co-chair of the Hospital Reuse Committee.

The main hospital building will be demolished before the property is turned over to the city. Soil remediation will also be done by IU Health if dangerous substances are found.

The city is keeping the existing parking garage for the time being, and the Kohr Administration Building building may remain as well depending on the city’s ability to repurpose it.

The administration building is the oldest part of the hospital, making it a structure the city may preserve, but the possible presence of asbestos may make it difficult to renovate and repurpose.

The New Hope Family Shelter and the ambulance service center will both move to new locations as both are on the hospital site.

Five acres of the land are currently occupied by the hospital, and 10 acres are occupied by surface parking. All of this will be transformed.

Community members were able to ask questions in the second part of the

meeting. One asked about the possibility of a culture center, and another asked about the possibility of a large auditorium.

The Hospital Reuse Committee, composed of community members and leaders, and the Project Review Committee, made up of elected officials, members of the HRC and city officials, will be looking into what is needed in Bloomington in terms of buildings, green spaces and housing.

The committees will also take into consideration the report from the Urban Land Institute, a team of land-use and urban planning experts that visited Bloomington in 2018 and wrote up a report of recommendations after talking to stakeholders. Its recommendations included using the site for retail, residential and office space as well as possibly building a community center.

“It’s not going to be a single-use district,” Voigt said. “By that I mean, it’s not going to be a mega development.”

Mayor John Hamilton said the development on the hospital site may be more organic than large and all at once.

“I think one of the goals may be smaller-scale, messier development here,” Hamilton said.

The mayor talked about how the planning committees will have to weigh the potential higher costs of using many small developers to develop the space and the

relatively lower cost of using one developer to build more units at once. This especially will apply to the construction of affordable housing, which the city is planning to include within the site.

The cost of the hospital site redevelopment could total $100 million according to the ULI report, which includes public and private sector money. This would be over the course of a decade of development. Committee members said there will be more talk of costs at the next public meeting.

The mayor talked about the project as an investment for Bloomington and mentioned how the city had already used public money to buy the site for $6.5 million.

“That’s how cities invest in the future,” Hamilton said. “That’s how Bloomington has grown from the beginning, is public investment in infrastructure and amenities and public space to help other investments come to build the momentum to what we want to see.”

The next public meeting about the hospital site redevelopment will be in late July or early August.

The date will be posted on the project website when it is determined. There is also a survey residents can take on the website to provide input.

“Be a dreamer with us, and throw out your best ideas,” Simpson told community members. “We want your ideas and your creativity.”

IU Black community calls for change

By Lyndsay Valadez Lvaladez@iu.edu | @Lynds_Val

Walking around the IU Bloomington campus, Black Student Union president Ky Freeman said he feels like another statistic. In emails from IU, he sees empty promises and hypocritical statements.

Freeman and others discussed their experiences at IU in an university town hall meeting Tuesday regarding racial equity, public safety and changes the university could implement.

From having conversations to dismantling the system and rebuilding it, panelists said things have to change in IU administration, police, employee recruitment and individuals' thoughts.

Freeman said he’s no longer going to accept microreforms and wants to see actual change at IU. Freeman’s frustration is the same frustration IU Northwest assistant professor Marsheila Harris experienced when she was a student at IU Northwest. As a faculty member, she said her experience at IU got better but didn't start out as well as it could have.

“I feel like I have support now from others, but it took me a while to have that feeling of belonging in my home campus on my home turf in my home city,” Harris said in the meeting.

She talked about how her ideals and thoughts were dismissed. She got funny looks.

She felt unwanted by the majority. She said it’s important to recognize there are people still experiencing this discomfort.

Wayne James talked about an instance last year when he was on an IU campus with

a colleague when the police were called on him because he looked like “a suspicious Black man.” He is the IUPD chief diversity officer.

This town hall meeting was planned after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis by police and his death sparked nationwide protests of police brutality and systemic racism.

“I feel the pain because I have been on both sides of that,” James said.

James said he knows there is a lot of work to be done, but it is hard to know if these calls about a “suspicious” person are legitimate, and they don’t want to create a safety concern for the person who called.

Sydney Rucker, director of diversity initiatives at the IU School of Medicine, said people should think about why they are calling the police. On a broader scale, she considers police brutality a health crisis.

She thinks it’s essential for the medicine and police communities to have dialogue with one another about health disparities, especially in the Black community.

The panel also discussed the recruitment of IU police officers. James said they’ve put together a diverse recruitment team over the past year with a firm emphasis on equity and inclusion. They vet applicants, doing a thorough background check and even talking to their neighbors to ensure they are not hiring someone with biases.

This same idea of recruitment and hiring was discussed regarding the university. James Wimbush, vice president for diversity, equity, and multicultural affairs, said there needs to be a more thorough assessment of various

practices regarding faculty, staff, students and administration. This includes looking at processes of recruitment, retention, promotion, tenure and pathways to administration and advancement.

“If you look at the cabinet of vice presidents to the president, there’s only one person there that looks like me,” Wimbush said.

However, Freeman said he doesn't want IU to make changes just for PR purposes.

Even if more people of color are hired, those people have to be protected and given support because they are lines of support to their students, Freeman said.

“And if we don’t have an environment that is welcoming and inclusive to all, then what is the value of the diversity?”

John Whelan, IU vice president for human resources

“A starting point has to be representation, but all too often that’s where the conversation ends,” said John Whelan, vice president for human resources for IU. “And if we don’t have an environment that is welcoming and inclusive to all, then what is the value of the diversity?”

Wimbush also said people that enter the university need to be trained in racial issues, classes need to focus on diverse issues and there needs to be a diversity pledge. This would allow for people who enter the university to be held account-

able for the way they treat people.

For SupportLinc EAP representative Roosevelt Cohens, his first experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI) was traumatizing. Being born in the 50s, he said he’s heard a lot of white people ask how they can help throughout time. The first thing he said for them to do is examine themselvesand the reality of systemic racism.

Whelan said there's a difference in one bad person saying a racist thing and the fact that in today’s society he as a white person has a statistical advantage over a black person in a job and getting a job.

“To create true equity, we have to truly shift the balance of power," he said. "It can not just be white people in power lifting up Black people."

But without having oneon-one conversations with racist people within the university community, the piece of equity and inclusion doesn’t matter because people have the same old practices, Harris said.

Multiple panelists explained the importance of people educating themselves, but made it clear it does not end there. Freeman said a mentor of his says they do not want allies. They want accomplices to take action and build real relationships with Black people.

“It won’t be until we truthfully see one another as solely humans and appreciate rather than focus on our differences that we can come together and live in peace and solidarity,” James said.

College students worldwide have expressed concern about returning to school for the fall semester amid a pandemic, but IU does not expect a large decrease in enrollment overall, IU’s spokesperson Chuck Carney said.

“We were expecting to be in the ballpark of where we usually are,” Carney said.

Although IU does not yet have totals on overall fall enrollment, David Johnson, vice provost for enrollment management, said the university has received more than 9,000 intent-to-enroll deposits from the incoming freshman class, which is a record number.

The actual enrollment numbers will be lower, he said. Every year, intent-toenroll numbers undergo a “melt," meaning that students melt away and do not enroll at IU, sometimes because they double deposited and chose another institution, Johnson said.

IU received around 9,000 intent-to-enroll deposits from incoming classes in 2018 and 2019, Johnson said. Enrollment for both years was around 8,000 students. The incoming class last year had the largest enrollment numbers. Johnson said he expects this year’s incoming class enrollment to be around 8,000 students too.

“It could be the largest, or it could be just shy of last year or the year before.”

David Johnson, IU vice provost for enrollment mangement

“It could be the largest, or it could be just shy of last year or the year before,” he said. “That all depends on student behavior over the summer and that final decision to enroll.”

Carney said the university is working to address student and family concerns about the fall semester to get answers to those who are reconsidering enrollment.

“This is obviously a difficult and stressful time for all of them as they’re trying to figure out exactly what to do at this next step,” he said.

He said some questions about what students’ schedules will look like have not been answered, but they will be in the coming days.

In the meantime, the

school released a Frequently Asked Questions page for prospective students about plans for the fall semester.

“We wanted to make sure that if they were considering IU seriously, they had as much information as they could,” Carney said.

IU also delayed the intent to enrollment deadline from May 1 to June 1 so students would have an idea of what the semester would look like before deciding to enroll, he said.

Johnson said there are special cases during the pandemic that might cause students to defer a semester or more.

He said some students have specific health situations that might cause them to reconsider enrollment. A student or a family member could have underlying health issues that put that person more at-risk for COVID-19.

“That creates a challenging situation for some people,” Johnson said.

There are also financial concerns. The pandemic has caused a disruption in the economy, causing some people to be laid off or lose financial stability.

This includes many parents, who may currently be unable to financially support their child going to college.

Some out-of-state and international students also have concerns about travel during this time and moving a long way from home, Johnson said.

Carney said the IU Office of Admissions has received questions from prospective students from all over the world.

“You can understand if you’re traveling from a good distance to go to IU, you’d certainly have some questions, given that there may be a little bit more unknown, just because it’s an unfamiliar place,” he said.

International students have other concerns too, John Wilkerson, executive director of international admissions, said. These include travel restrictions and inability to obtain visas. U.S. consulates are closed or have limited operations. Wilkerson said students must attend an in-person interview to obtain an educational visa at a consulate.

The intent to enroll numbers for international students have dropped about 13%, he said.

Wilkerson said the admissions office is communicating with international students and providing resources for current international students on its website.

IU players compete to fundraise for coronavirus workers

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

Through the steady rumble of traffic encircling Tarkington Park in Indianapolis, a mixture of shoes squeaking, rackets thwacking and energetic grunting rang out. Under tufts of clouds spreading across a light blue sky, spectators lounged in lawn chairs to catch a glimpse of the action.

In a time where a majority of sports have been absent due to the coronavirus pandemic, the sight last Saturday in Indianapolis was rather rare. It was live sports.

IU men’s tennis rising sophomore Patrick Fletchall crouched with a slight bend in his knees and gripped a racket in his hand. A socially distanced length away from Fletchall, stood Grand Slam mixed-doubles champion Rajeev Ram. Former All-American and IU volunteer assistant coach Ronnie Schneider was positioned across the net, along with Northwestern tennis commit Presley Thieneman.

The gathering was organized by digital sports media company Cracked Racquets to raise money for Frontline Foods, an organi-

According to a letter from IU CFO John Sejdinaj, tuition is IU’s largest source of revenue, which wasn’t always the case. He said in 2002, the state provided more of IU’s funding than tuition did.

Over the years, the state government has shifted its focus to K-12 education, Medicaid, Department of Family and Child Services and other programs and put less money toward state universities.

Sejdinaj said IU Bloomington will still be in the cheaper half of the Big 10 research universities even with the increases to tuition.

The email provided a small update on fall classes.

By July 15, all class statuses will be updated, and students will be able to see whether their classes are inperson or online.

The email also included a link to sign the Community Responsibility Acknowledgement, a commitment that IU will require students, staff and faculty to sign before returning to campus in

zation that provides meals from local restuarants to workers fighting coronavirus.

When Fletchall got a text about playing in the event, he didn’t hesitate to join.

Fletchall grew up in the Indianapolis area and was a two-time state champion.

Throughout his years of junior tennis, he said he always felt supported by the tennis community.

“I figured what better use of my time than now to give back to Indianapolis fans,” Fletchall said. “I thought that it was just a special event and I couldn’t turn it down.”

Fletchall had watched the updates on the news and scrolled through social media during the initial outbreak of the pandemic a few months ago. Videos of doctors attending to patients spread the internet as they attempted to subside the health crisis. Now, there have been more than 2 million confirmed cases in the U.S. Fletchall’s father, who is a family doctor, came into contact with patients that had flu-like symptoms. His father tested negative for the virus and is healthy.

So, when Fletchall read the fall.

The form also has an option to not disclose whether an individual has underlying health conditions. ed meeting, it was not mandatory for all employees, so many night shift workers did not attend.

When the employee eventually got tested herself, she said that her doctor advised her to stay in quarantine for 14 days, but that her boss, executive director Elizabeth Price, pressured

ated from IU in the spring, is staying in Bloomington to utilize the extra year of eligibility that the NCAA provided to all spring athletes.

While Piekarsky will continue college life, many of his friends, who were scheduled to move out, struggled to score jobs.

“I’m very lucky that our financial situation is OK, but there are a lot of people

that it’s not,” Piekarsky said.

“We’re all in this together and some people need more help and now is the time to be that light and be that help to people that really need it.”

Piekarsky also has friends whose family members contracted the virus.

He reached out to them to offer support.

“They said it was the worst feeling they’ve ever

had,” Piekarsky said. “They felt so sick and couldn’t explain it or wish it on anyone.”

So, Piekarsky stayed in Fletchall’s house for the weekend and joined his teammate in the fundraiser.

Fletchall reached the semifinals in the singles draw before finally losing, while Piekarsky dropped his first round match. In the doubles tournament, Fletchall and his partner met Piekarsky and Schneider in the semifinals.

“There’s a little banter going back and forth the whole time,” Piekarsky said with a laugh.

Fletchall came out on top, leaving more room to trash talk in the coming season. However, he ended up losing in the finals.

After playing 11 matches over the weekend, Fletchall’s legs ached as he hobbled around. But, what mattered most was the positive influence on the community. According to IndyStar, around $5,000 was raised.

Elijah Dunham signs contract with Yankees

By D.J. Fezler djfezler@iu.edu | @DJFezler

After going undrafted in last week’s 2020 MLB draft, junior outfielder Elijah Dunham announced his decision to sign an undrafted free agent contract with the New York Yankees on Wednesday via Twitter.

Dunham will forego his final two years of eligibility with the IU baseball program.

“It’s time for me to take my opportunity and bet on myself,” Dunham said in the tweet. “I’m extremely confident in my abilities and know the Yankees can continue to develop them at the highest level.”

The Hoosiers played in 15 games before the season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Dunham started every game and led IU with 59 at bats, seven doubles and a .493 on base percentage.

He was also second on the team with a .390 batting average, while tallying 12 runs, 23 hits, 33 total bases and a slugging percentage of .559.

“Also a huge thanks to Coach Mercer, the unbelievable staff, and teammates at IU who have helped me come to this point,” Dunham said. “I don’t know where I’d be without them.”

He appeared in 94 games for the Hoosiers during his career and earned 75 starts. He had a batting average of .312 with 25 doubles, nine home runs and 48 RBI. In 2019, he was named a third team All-Big Ten honoree.

As a sophomore, Dunham was selected in the 40th round of the 2019 MLB draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates before he decided to return to IU for the 2020 season.

“Elijah is one of the best workers I’ve ever coached, a world class competitor and an even better person,” IU head coach Jeff Mercer said in a Wednesday release. “I wish him all the best on his professional journey and will be his No. 1 fan.”

College mascots are basically stereotypical dads Bradley Hohulin is a rising sophomore in marketing.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred speaks during the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony July 29, 2018, at Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, N.Y.

MLB deadlock is turning America’s Pastime into American embarrassment Jared Kelly is a rising junior in sports media.

A few days ago, my mom asked me to visit a local bakery and pick a few things up for her. A box of 12 donuts and a loaf of freshly-baked bread, to be exact. Usually I’d have scoffed at my mom’s request and made up some excuse to try and get out of it, but after spending nearly three months social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic, I was eager to get out of the house.

After a five-minute drive, I got out of my car, put my face mask on and entered the tiny, family-owned bakery. Behind the counter was an elderly man who wore a white apron smeared with dough and other powdery remnants. I glanced at the wooden menu that hung from frayed rope strings above the counter before stepping toward the cash register.

“Hi there, can I please get a dozen glazed donuts and a loaf of your homemade rye bread? That’ll be all,” I said.

“Unfortunately we’re running low on glazed donuts today,” said the man, his chalky voice barely audible from behind his face mask.

“How about if I give you six glazed donuts today and you come back tomorrow and I’ll give you the other six? How does that sound?”

“Wait, but there’s 15 glazed donuts in that glass case behind you,” I said. “I just need 12, can you sell those to me now?”

“I would love to, but five of those are reserved for someone else,” the man said. “What if I give you 10 glazed donuts and two strawberry donuts instead?”

“My mom doesn’t like strawberry,” I responded.

“Fine, I’ll sell you a half-dozen glazed donuts and I’ll give you the

loaf of bread for free,” the elderly man said. “That’s the best I can offer you right now.”

Frustration was beginning to settle in at this point and it was clear the man wasn’t understanding what I wanted. It was time for me to leave.

“No thanks, I’ll just come back another day,” I said.

I’m going to be honest, I made up that story. I never visited a bakery at my mom’s behest. But the way Major League Baseball and its owners have gone about negotiating the terms of a shortened season, it has played out almost identical to the bakery scenario.

Since May 31, the MLB Players Association and MLB owners have proposed four total offers in a “good-faith” effort to begin the season, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. All four offers have been declined.

Although all parties involved deserve some blame for the gridlock that has ensued, it stems from one unified, problematic source — the owners.

It’s no secret that significant revenue has and will be lost due to the absence of a full season. But just as companies and businesses around the world have had to cope with the devastating effects of the coronavirus, what makes the MLB and its owners any different? It’s as if the league is content with sitting on its hands, not paying its players and skipping the season entirely.

The reported proposals made by the MLB make its intentions all the more puzzling. After the MLBPA proposed a 114-game season, the owners countered with a 76game season and salaries prorated at 75%. That counter-offer was rejected.

On June 9, the MLBPA returned

with an offer including an 89-game season and full prorated salaries. As expected, the MLB rejected the proposal but countered with a 72-game season and 70% prorated salaries.

On June 13, the MLBPA sent a letter to the league stating it had no intention to submit another counter-offer, according to Passan, effectively ending the negotiation nightmare.

So, after weeks of back-andforth bargaining, players speaking out on social media and owners defending themselves on various platforms, the baseball universe has seen no progress toward starting a season.

For a league that has, in recent years, prioritized modernizing baseball and attracting younger fans, the current landscape runs contrary to those goals. Rather than being America’s pastime, the MLB has devolved into billionaire owners and millionaire players bickering about finances on social media as Commissioner Rob Manfred stands idly by.

It’s a conundrum that’s leading MLB in a dark, ugly direction. Instead of watching baseball games all summer long, we’re stuck watching the league self-destruct with each new headline and tweet.

If baseball does eventually return this season, the allure of it will already be tainted by the league’s unwillingness to do right by fans.

Regardless of when play resumes, don’t expect baseball to be the same as you remembered. The embarrassment resulting from recent negotiations confirmed as much.

What was once a sport of eloquence, beauty and Saturday afternoon’s spent at the ballpark, is all suddenly in jeopardy. jaakelly@iu.edu

From clumsy dancing to cheesy senses of humor, the line between father and mascot is virtually imperceptible.

To small children, both are larger-than-life figures capable of no fault. Unfortunately, just as we eventually realize a mascot is just a sweaty teenager staving off heat stroke and suffocation, we must accept the superhero we call dad is merely human.

But no matter how goofy they are, there’s no denying the love felt for fathers and mascots everywhere. To commemorate Father’s Day, here are four other ways in which your old man is only an oversized foam headpiece away from hyping up crowds on Saturdays.

They want to be young forever Something about fatherhood fills men with a mortal fear of death. Look no further than Nebraska’s appropriately corny Herbie Husker, a textbook example of a dad desperately clinging to the glory days.

Herbie would be the sort of father who clocks out of his nineto-five and floors his Honda Civic straight to the local YMCA. There, he embarks on a personal mission to soak each bench with as much sweat as possible, stopping only to regale high schoolers with stories of his own time as the big man on campus.

For an energetic boy or girl, having a dad who can keep up would be great. However, when pop starts forcing you to play the sports in which he totally could have gone pro and cursing at the T-ball ref, you may worry more blood is circulating to his immense forearms than his brain.

They adopt a certain appearance Of course, age comes for us all.

In the end, many fathers’ quests for the fountain of youth instead brings them to the Gap, a veritable fountain of boxy shoes and loosefitting khaki shorts.

Mascots have always been on the cutting edge of paternal fashion. The University of Alabama’s Big Al and University of California, Berkeley’s Oski both expertly pull loose sweaters over their everexpanding waistlines, proving the “dad bod” knows no single species.

Should I ever have kids, I hope to emulate the University of Southern California’s Tommy Trojan. Not only has Tommy managed to stay lean since the Bronze

Age, but he is always ready to bust out the leather man sandals given that his calves are as clearly defined as the border between North and South Korea.

They treat their hobbies very seriously Fishing. Day drinking. Day drinking while fishing. Every dad has specific hobbies that remind us they are more than a parent, and mascots are no exception.

Take hunting, for instance. West Virginia University’s rifle-toting mountaineer, ingeniously dubbed The Mountaineer, has doubtlessly spent myriad afternoons perched in a tree, aiming at a variety of potential Bambi cast members.

Of course, not all activities have to be conventionally masculine. Vanderbilt University’s Mr. C probably spends his weekends on the losing side of Civil War reenactments.

Then there’s Purdue Pete, the boilerman whose basement certainly contains a garish display of model trains. This dorky but charming pastime might fill a number of Pete’s hours, but nothing can ever fill his soulless, vacant eyes.

Stare into those black voids long enough, and you’ll start wishing a locomotive could come speeding out and end the misery.

They have midlife crises Some mascots have been around since before the Roosevelt administration, so it’s understandable they have undergone moments of insecurity.

The Wake Forest University Demon Deacon has been a symbol of temperance and religious discipline since his inception in the 1940s. He can now be seen riding into games on a motorcycle like any hip, relatable youth pastor.

How much do you want to bet he has a cross tattoo on his wrist?

Deacon, you absolute rebel, you.

Still, nothing tops the University of Oregon’s adorably pudgy fowl transforming into musclebound abomination known as Mandrake in 2002. I would never frown upon a father for trying to get into stellar shape, but there’s something off-putting about drastically modifying one’s body out of nowhere.

Mandrake looks like he went to a GNC and bought anything with the word testosterone on it.

I’m sure he completely crushes it at CrossFit, but there’s no way I’m trusting that nightmarish creature to watch over children. bhohulin@iu.edu

Former Ivy League Player of the Year joins IU as transfer

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

A hashtag on social media became popular with the IU softball team late last week.

Dartmouth College graduate transfer Micah Schroder signed with the IU softball team last week, spurring her future teammates to spread the phrase #mightywithmicah on Twitter to welcome the newest Hoosier.

She will be immediately eligible for IU. The left-handed swinging Schroder, who was a utility infielder at Dartmouth, recorded a .335 average over her four years for the Big Green, including 120 hits, 78 RBI’s and 15 home runs.

Schroder had a recordsetting season in her junior year and was named the Ivy League Player of the Year. She batted .473 and knocked in 40 RBIs, both of which were single-season program records. Schroder also finished with a .786 slugging percentage, which was second in single-season program history.

One year earlier in her sophomore season, Schroder led the Big Green offensively with a .367 average, 44 total hits, 29 runs scored and 27 RBI. She also earned second team All-Ivy honors.

In the 2020 campaign, Schroder started at first base in all 10 of Dartmouth’s games, hitting .286 before the season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to a release from Dartmouth, Schroder said she planned to attend graduate school to get a master’s in economics or business analytics while utilizing her final year of eligibility. Bloomington became the landing spot for Schroder.

“What I am going to miss most about Dartmouth is the people and the atmosphere,” Schroder said in a release.

“Every day at Dartmouth I met someone new or was reminded about how talented my fellow classmates were.”

Now, Schroder will take a step up in competition and join an IU team that held a 12-9 record before the season was canceled due to the

coronavirus pandemic.

Junior Annika Baez started all 21 games at first base for the Hoosiers last season, batting .222 with four home runs.

Senior Katie Lacefield started every game at second base for IU, recording a .119 average with 15 strikeouts.

Schroder could potentially

slide into one of those two positions, creating some competition for playing time on the right side of the infield.

“Have enjoyed your ap-

proach throughout this process & excited for you to get to btown this fall,” IU head coach Shonda Stanton said to Schroder in a tweet.

MEN’S GOLF

4 IU golfers named All-America Scholar last week

By Mark Christiansen mec1@iu.edu

IU men’s golf had a program record four golfers named to the Srixon/Cleveland All-America Scholars, the program announced last week.

Senior Brock Ochsenreiter and graduate student Jack Sparrow were both named All-America Scholars for the second time while at IU. Sophomore Harry Reynolds and junior Ethan Shepard both made the list for the first time.

In order to qualify for the award, athletes must be a sophomore, junior or senior with a cumulative career GPA of 3.2 or higher while competing in 40% of

their team’s competitions.

Division I athletes must also post a stroke-average of less than 76.

Ochsenreiter ended the year with a career average of 73.54, ranking fifth alltime in Indiana men’s golf history. He was also named Academic All-Big Ten during his junior season.

Sparrow averaged 74.5 in 16 rounds for this season and shot a season-best 69 in the first round of Windon Memorial.

Reynolds earned a pair of top-30 finishes at the Windon Memorial and the Steelwood Collegiate this season.

Shepard’s career average finished at 74.17, which is the 10th best in IU school history.

EVERETT’S EXAMPLES

Voter suppression continues to be a problem, evidenced in 2020 primary elections Everett Kalman (he/him) is a junior in law and public policy.

From the start, this year’s primary election season has been a mess. However, the chaos of the poorly organized Iowa caucuses became a theme in many of this year's primary elections, making an enduring symptom of racism in America glaringly clear: voter suppression.

In 2013, the Supreme Court declared sections four and five of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 unconstitutional in its decision in the case of Shelby County v. Holder, paving the way for states to make voting more restrictive. Citizens and their legislators have a responsibility to protect the right to vote, particularly in states that have historically made it difficult, specifically for Black, Hispanic and Indigenous voters.

While Chief Justice John Roberts and four other Supreme Court justices were able to cripple the VRA because they think that racism just isn’t much of a problem anymore, that hasn’t changed the real barriers that people of color face in trying to vote in U.S. elections.

Voter suppression today may not look like literacy tests or an explicit poll tax. Instead, practices such as strict Voter ID laws, felon voter suppression, a lack of voting sites and gerrymandering continue to suppress the vote. Fortunately, Congress can reinforce the VRA to protect voting rights.

On the state level, nonpartisan redistricting boards can be adopted to diminish the effect of gerrymandering that could occur after the 2020

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

An examination by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that human error, equipment failure and a complicated, multicomputer voting system combined to create chaos that left some Georgia voters waiting as long as eight hours to cast ballots during June 9 statewide primary elections.

census.

In several state primary elections this year, a lack of voting locations in predominantly Black and Hispanic districts has discouraged many voters from remaining in line to cast their ballots.

In Marion County, which is the state's most diverse,only 22 polling sites were open on Election Day compared to the normal 250 locations.

This resulted in voters standing in lines for hours on end, lasting far past the 6:00 p.m. deadline.

These long lines were

seemingly nonexistent just a short drive north in Hamilton County, where “voting seemed to be measured in minutes, not hours,” the IndyStar reported.

In addition to a lack of polling sites, Marion County didn’t count more than 1,700 ballots. Whether they were received after noon on Election Day or weren’t sent out to voters in the first place, Indiana voters attempted to use mailin ballots this year more than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Georgia’s primary elec-

tion was also plagued by voter suppression. There were hourslong waits to vote in predominantly Black districts, malfunctioning voting machines and often not enough ballots for people in line. For many, this was just the sequel to Georgia’s 2018 elections, in which thenGeorgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp purged voter rolls just before the gubernatorial election, which he won.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also tried to suppress votes this year by requiring felons to pay all “legal financial

obligations” before having their voting rights restored.

Thankfully, that requirement was struck down in court.

With the passage of Florida’s Amendment 4, people who have served the entirety of their felony sentence will be able to vote. Now, more than 1 million Floridians will be able to vote again.

This year’s census will also impact the weight of people’s votes for years to come, as local districts will be redrawn by state officials with the census data. Gerrymandering, the practice of drawing state con-

gressional districts in irregular shapes to help a particular political party win elections more easily, has been used in past census years to diminish the voting power of minority communities.

However, nonpartisan redistricting boards are becoming increasingly common across the country. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers signed an executive order earlier this year establishing a nonpartisan redistricting commission in the hopes of creating congressional districts that better reflect the state’s population. "People should be able to choose their elected officials, not the other way around," Evers said at a press conference.

Wisconsin will be the 11th state to establish such a commission in the hopes of a more democratic voting process. However, Republican State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, has opposed taking redistricting powers away from the state legislature.

If the U.S. is going to attempt to combat voter suppression, establishing independent redistricting boards and enough voting locations won’t be enough. Voters will have to call upon their representatives in Congress to reaffirm the entirety of the Voting Rights Act. The right to vote is at the center of American democracy, but for too much of our history it has been denied to people of color. If we as a nation truly seek to build a more perfect union, we will need to fight in state and federal legislatures to protect that right. eskalman@iu.edu

COLUMN

Police reform must go hand in hand with military policy reform to be effective Sam Hauke (he/him) is a senior in law and public policy with minors in history and business.

Due to recent riots and protests in the wake of several high profile police killings, the news is full of images of armoured police officers, heavily equipped with riot shields, face and gas masks and armed with tear gas and other crowd control explosives.

Local law enforcement arrives at protests with the full appearance of an occupying army, tasked with preventing riots and protecting businesses from looting. American police departments are highly militarized and officers often conduct their jobs with a toxic “us versus them” attitude. But how did our local police forces come to act and dress like an occupying army?

The militarization of local police departments begins with our current military policy. As the world’s leading superpower in a unipolar world, American foreign policy fre-

quently focuses on protecting and maintaining world markets as they currently exist.

As outlined in the 2017 National Security Strategy from the White House, “Economic security is national security.” Thus, the United States spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually to protect its dominant global position.

The United States currently has the largest military budget in the world, with a recent budget exceeding $700 billion. Although many consider a large military budget necessary to maintain the American position as an international superpower, the American military budget is bloated and riddled with redundancies.

Congressional legislators on both sides of the aisle approve high military budgets because many of their districts rely on jobs created through the manufacture of military equipment, which accounts for over 2.5 million American jobs.

Through a political strat-

egy known as logrolling, high military budgets are passed and approved by dozens of lawmakers with military manufacturing plants in their districts. Even if American armed forces lack the need for additional equipment, congressional legislators often approve increased budgets in order to protect jobs in their districts.

The military turns to local law enforcement to shed excess equipment. Through a program created in the 1990s known as the 1033 Program, the Department of Defense transfers of military equipment to local law enforcement agencies. Because the DOD transfers military equipment to police departments, the DOD retains the property ownership of the equipment.

Police departments only pay for shipping and maintenance of the equipment, resulting in local law enforcement acquiring military grade equipment for pennies on the dollar. Since the program’s in-

ception in the 1990s, the DOD has transferred over $7 billion in military equipment to law enforcement agencies.

While defunding the police and calls for police reform have echoed across the country in recent weeks, police reform or defunding alone will unlikely be effective in

demilitarizing the police. Due to a bloated national military budget, excess equipment is affordable and accessible to police departments nationwide.

Police reform efforts must be coupled with congressional reform of the military budget. Congress should

work to eliminate inefficiencies and redundancies in the military budget while also passing comprehensive police reform measures. Otherwise, Congress risks continuing a highly militarized police force in the United States. shauke@iu.edu

CRAFTED COMMENTARY

Charles Booker is the candidate to beat Mitch McConnell Molly Hayes (she/her) is a junior studying English.

The Kentucky primary election will take place Tuesday, June 23, and the race for the Democratic nomination for Senator of Kentucky is beginning to heat up. The race will be closely watched, as whichever candidate wins out will be the person facing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell come November.

Right now, there are two candidates who are poised to battle it out for the nomination: Amy McGrath and Kentucky Representative Charles Booker. Polls show the two within striking distance of each other, and Booker has picked up a number of major endorsements from people such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former presidential candidate Julián Castro and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

While both Booker and McGrath would be a large improvement on McConnell, Rep. Booker, with his deep

connection to Kentucky and its constituents, as well as his progressive platform, is the better choice to face McConnell.

Amy McGrath is a former Marine fighter pilot who first ran for office back in 2018.

She was chosen as the Democratic nominee for Kentucky’s 6th congressional district, but ultimately lost the race to incumbent Rep. Andy Barr. She has marketed herself as a proTrump Democrat and rejects policies that have become increasingly popular among Democratic voters, such as Medicare for All. One particularly disturbing facet of McGrath’s campaign is where her money comes from. Only 3.6% of donations to her campaign come from people residing in Kentucky. One can’t help but look at this figure and wonder if McGrath is truly the candidate that the people of Kentucky should fall behind, given that she is sustained primarily through support from

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Kentucky State Representative Charles Booker is a Louisville native and candidate for state senator.

other states.

Rep. Booker’s candidacy is an entirely different story. A Louisville native, Booker has deep ties to the state of Kentucky. Unlike McGrath, he has served in office there before.

In 2014, he served as Director of Personnel and Administrative Services for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, and in 2018 he became a Kentucky state representative.

The source of Booker’s donations is also notable, as 46%

of them come from those who live in the state of Kentucky.

This leads to another one of Booker’s strengths: many high-ranking Democratic officials in Kentucky, such as Rep. Joni Jenkins, the minority leader of Kentucky’s House of Representatives, have lined up behind him.

To many progressives, this may come as a surprise, as more left-leaning candidates are often shunned by establishment Democrats. In this

case, however, Booker’s fellow Kentucky representatives, along with other Kentucky Democrats, are choosing to stand with him over McGrath.

This, along with Booker’s more notable support from actual Kentuckians, signifies Booker’s strong ties to his state and ability to sway voters who are not convinced by McGrath or her ideas.

Most important of all, however, is Booker’s platform. One only needs to peruse his website, which lists stances on issues such as healthcare and climate change, to realize that the representative has embraced progressive policies. He is in support of the increasingly popular policy Medicare For All, as well the newer idea of a Universal Basic Income.

He is also a proponent of criminal justice reform, a subject that has received much attention due to the recent nationwide protests against police brutality. Booker supports ideas such as ending

cash bail and addressing racial bias in risk assessments.

In the end, both Booker and McGrath are improvements upon Sen. McConnell, and I hope whoever wins the Democratic nomination goes on to defeat him in November. Right now, however, voters are allowed to be picky.

As the primary rolls around, Kentucky voters ought to consider which candidate has their best interests at heart.

Rep. Booker rejects the presence of corporate money in politics. He has a history of supporting the working people of Kentucky, as evidenced by his support of bipartisan legislation that allows for easier access to insulin in emergency situations. If he wins the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, his legislative record, deep ties to his state and progressive platform will give him the edge he needs to defeat Sen. McConnell. morhayes@iu.edu

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

The worst teams in the NBA described by Disney deaths Bradley Hohulin is a rising sophomore in marketing.

currently own the worst win percentage of any NBA franchise.

At the start of each season, some small part of me hopes Minnesota will do something impressive. Yet as the year progresses, I get the same pit in my stomach as when I see Bambi’s mother trot off-screen.

The NBA recently announced it would conduct the remainder of its 2020 season at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. While 22 squads will strive for a fairytale ending, eight have already been disqualified from a trip to the Magic Kingdom.

However, this is fairly in line with most Disney movies. For every perfectly-fitting glass slipper, there are hundreds of squashings, drownings, plummets and maulings. I have drawn from this robust catalogue of tragedies to summarize the fates of the worst teams in the NBA. Charlotte Hornets: Ernesto de la Cruz, ‘Coco’ In ‘Coco,’ the late Ernesto de la Cruz is revered as the Michael Jordan of music, but in the afterlife is revealed to be a diabolical manipulator.

Although both Cruz and Jordan have celebrated careers, each lives a second life in which he is a mere ghostly skeleton of his former self. Cruz effectively rules the Land of the Dead, while Jordan owns the Hornets in Charlotte, which is basically a less charming land of dead playoff hopes.

Chicago Bulls: Claude Frollo, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ Judge Claude Frollo is an aged public figure with a troublesome hidden past and no concept of boundaries around women, really blurring the line between cartoon villain and modern-day poli-

Cleveland Cavaliers: Mufasa, ‘The Lion King’ LeBron James used to bring perennial championship aspirations to Cleveland.

But “The King” is gone, and the Cavaliers have been getting trampled by a stampede of far better teams ever since.

It once seemed that everything the light touched was within the Cavaliers’ domain.

From questionable coaching decisions to a dense blanket of photochemical smog, there isn’t much light touching anything near Cleveland these days.

tician.

Frollo meets his demise by falling from the heights of Notre Dame Cathedral while desperately clutching an ancient gargoyle. Surely the Bulls can relate to someone who careens to his doom while literally holding on to a symbol of the past.

New York Knicks: Gaston, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Even with an enraged mob supporting him, Gaston dies when vying for Belle’s love, which instead goes to a massive rich hairball with fangs.

The Knicks have the adoration of New York City, but manage to be less desirable than the historically incompetent Brooklyn Nets. Just as Gaston sings about his unproven accolades, the Knicks boast of a storied franchise despite having done hardly anything noteworthy since the disco era.

Detroit Pistons: Oogie Boogie, ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ The Pistons built a reputation as the league’s “Bad Boys.” Oogie Boogie, a sentient burlap sack crawling

with myriad horrors, serves as the fictional Halloween Town’s bogeyman.

When Oogie Boogie is defeated, he splits apart at the seams as thousands of critters scuttle and slither out from inside him. Whether this unraveling is actually any more unsightly than the Pistons playing basketball is up to the viewer’s opinion.

ter of seconds? That’s classic Disney.

Like a mass of unhatched clownfish eggs, the Hawks are too young and know nothing about defense. If Trae Young can fill the role of Nemo, the lone hope in an otherwise miserable situation, maybe the Hawks can just keep swimming through a sea of mediocrity.

Atlanta Hawks: Nemo’s siblings, ‘Finding Nemo’ Remember that scene where a barracuda viciously murders a mother and nearly all of her offspring in a mat-

Minnesota Timberwolves: pretty much every parent from every movie Disney pumps out orphans like Minnesota does losses. The Timberwolves

Golden State Warriors: Hades, ‘Hercules’ Perhaps it’s a bit unfair to compare the Warriors to the antichrist. Regardless, both Hades and Golden State rapidly rose to power with the aid of a three-headed beast, be it a hydra or the trifecta of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

Ultimately, Hades is thrown into to the river Styx, where he is ravaged by those he previously tormented.

When I see the Kings, Lakers and Clippers taking potshots at the Warriors, I take solace knowing the Fates have restored balance. bhohulin@iu.edu
