Room and board price increase approved By Claire Peters clapete@iu.edu | @claire_peterss

The IU Board of Trustees approved a 3.46% increase in room and board costs at its Thursday meeting at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis. The cost of room and board for

the 2020-21 school year increased by $375. In 2019, the Board of Trustees increased the price of room and board by $365, according to an IU press release. IU treasurer Don Lukes said the cost increases are due to market analysis and comparison, as well as

other factors, according to a tweet from IU. According to a tweet from IU, its room and board rates are in the bottom half of Big 10 schools. The university claims that on-campus housing is still cheaper than most off-campus housing. The Finance, Audit and Strate-

gic Planning Committee approved housing cost increases at IUPUI and IU South Bend as well. Vice President and Chief Financial Officer John Sejdinaj said renovations of on-campus housing, some due to the mold discovered in them, have resulted in the loss of thousands

of beds on campus, but Foster, McNutt and Teter quads will reopen in the fall, according to a tweet from IU. On Friday, the board approved two undergraduate degree programs on two campuses and updates to the 2012 IU-Purdue University Indianapolis Campus Master Plan.

Student reports racial bias at IC

An IU junior said she experienced a racial bias incident Feb. 2 at the Intramural Center. While playing basketball on the second floor, she said she and another person were asked by employees to identify themselves as students multiple times. Taylor Carlton, who is black, said she, her boyfriend and little brother were approached by Intramural Center employees to check their IDs. She said a white student in the same part of the gym was not asked to do the same. She posted a video of the incident to Twitter later that day. In the video, two employees are seen arguing with Carlton and her boyfriend for about a minute before two more employees walk up. The employees, Carlton and her boyfriend continue to argue for another minute before Carlton's boyfriend ends the video. “What made it seem suspicious was that the staff member who scanned our IDs originally chased us from the first floor of the Intramural Center,” Carlton said. “If our IDs needed to be scanned, the person on the second floor should have done so.” Carlton said she hadn’t been asked for her ID on the second floor basketball court before, but she complied anyway. When she was talking with the employees, Carlton told them she was concerned she was being discriminated against because she is black. “We are aware of the incident and Rec Sports has reached out to the student, but as of now a formal complaint has not been filed,” IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said in an email. “We would encourage the student to reach out to report so that it can be fully investigated.” Jacqueline Puterbaugh, associate director for Campus Recreational Sports, said the Intramural Center is aware of the situation and is still investigating. Checking IDs is standard Intramural Center policy and is meant to ensure the facilities are used by people paying to use them, Puterbaugh said. She said employees are stationed in the main activity areas to check IDs. These areas include the 10 basketball courts and track, swimming pool, strength gym and upstairs cardio gym. “Participants are required to show an ID, and the rationale behind that is students are paying a mandatory fee each year,” Puterbaugh said. “Since students are required to pay a fee, that nonstudents are identified and have to buy a membership." After being asked a first time and then continuing to use the gym, Carlton noticed that two more employees entered the area. She said the employees walked around the gym and messed with a curtain before approaching her and asking to scan her ID. “She came off as very aggressive from the beginning,” Carlton said of one employee. Carlton said she asked why she had to scan her ID a second time. She said they gave her conflicting answers — one said it was the new policy and another said it’s what they’ve always done. “I felt they were intimidated by me, which I don’t understand because I am a 5 foot 4 inch girl,” Carlton said. Carlton said she and the staff couldn’t reach an understanding. Soon after a manager was called over, Carlton, her boyfriend and

An IU bus driver was temporarily suspended after she berated a black man on a campus bus Tuesday, yelling at him to go to the back or get off. The incident took place around 5:45 p.m. while the A bus was stopped at the Maurer School of Law bus stop. Graduate student Velencia Posso was on the bus when she said the driver, who is white, yelled at the man because he wouldn't move to the back of the bus or get off while more students got on. “She was screaming at the top of her lungs,” Posso said. IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said in an email that the driver was suspended until Feb. 17, and the incident is being investigated. He said he didn’t know the name of the driver. The incident happened a little more than a week after an IU junior said she was racially discriminated against at the Intramural Center. Carney gave the Indiana Daily Student footage from inside the bus which shows the whole incident. In the video, the man was already standing toward the front on the driver's side of the bus when the driver stopped at the law school. As students got on the bus, the driver repeatedly told the man to move back, and at one point, threatened to call the police. “You have two choices — go back or get off the bus,” the driver said. The man stayed on the bus as other students left. Witnesses said they don’t know the name of the man. Senior Therese Capriglione confronted the driver to try and calm her down, telling her the man was well behind the yellow line and she felt the driver’s actions

CONFLICT AT THE FARMERS' MARKET

Vendor sues mayor, BLM announces market boycott The vendors say their constitutional rights have been affected, and the activist group claimed the city has supported white supremacy. By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @joeybowling8

After months of protests over farmers’ market vendor Schooner Creek Farm’s ties to white supremacist groups, the business owners announced Friday they are suing the mayor and park officials. A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court accuses the mayor and park officials of violating the vendors’ constitutional rights. The lawsuit alleges by making public statements supporting the protesters at the market, Mayor John Hamilton impeded Schooner Creek Farm owners Sarah Dye and Douglas Mackey’s First Amendment rights. The Bloomington branch of Black Lives Matter called for a

boycott Wednesday of the HeraldTimes and the Bloomington Community Farmers' Market, according to a statement on its website. The group asked people to support the Eastside Market, a newer, vendor-run market. “It is long past time for Bloomingtonians to divest from institutions that promote the destruction of marginalized people,” the Black Lives Matter B-town statement read. The statement claims the newspaper and city have supported white supremacy. It criticizes a Herald-Times profile of Sarah Dye, a vendor at the market with connection to the American Identity Movement, a white nationalist group. It was published Feb. 2 on the front page of the

Hoosiers lose opening series 2-1 against LSU By Sara Kress sekress@iu.edu | @sarakress4

IU baseball lost its opening series 2-1 this weekend, avoiding a sweep from No. 11 Louisiana State University. The teams played one game on Friday and a doubleheader on Saturday. The game scheduled for Sunday was moved to Saturday because of a rain forecast. The Hoosiers improved throughout the series, moving from an 8-1 loss in the first game to a 7-4 loss in the second game, until they finally beat the Tigers 7-2 in the last game. Head coach Jeff Mercer said he was encouraged by the team’s ability to adapt during the series. “The overriding theme for the weekend was our ability to grow and to learn in real time,” Mercer said. “To be able to adjust in real time is really difficult to do, and we did that exponentially.” IU struggled to hit in the first game. The team only had three hits compared to LSU’s nine. All of IU’s hits were against LSU sophomore pitcher Cole Henry. He had eight strikeouts but tired out after four innings, leaving IU plenty of time to hit against other pitchers. IU’s only run in the first game was unearned. Freshman outfielder Ethan Vecrumba scored af-

“We weren’t great finishing innings in either of the first two games,” Mercer said. “We had a lot of guys on base throughout.” IU left seven runners on base in the first game and nine in the third game. Sophomore outfielder Grant Richardson was the only Hoo-

Tales of love from local senior community

TY VINSON | IDS

Bill and Karen Stucky, 82, have been married for 63 years. For Valentine’s Day, Bill likes to get up earlier than Karen and hide Valentine’s Day cards around the building. Ty Vinson vinsonjo@iu.edu | @ty_vinson_

Bell Trace Senior Living Community in Bloomington is filled with love stories. Some of them began more than half a century ago while others are just getting started. The first story is a long one. Ken and Pat Shidler, both 89, have been together for 67 years. Ken and Pat are from Indiana and met while they were undergrads at IU. Ken was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, and Pat was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Ken said Pat was the 13th Pi Phi he’d taken out on a date. Several months in, Ken decided he wanted to give his fraternity pin to her. It was a tradition at the time and a symbol of pre-engagement. His fraternity brothers didn’t think she’d accept the pin. “I bet you a case of beer she will,” Ken told them.

He got the case of beer that day. Ken and Pat graduated from IU in 1953 and were married less than a week later. They’ve traveled the world together and lived all over the country. They’ve been to 48 states together and traveled to every continent but Antarctica — they believe that’s what has kept their marriage strong. They said moving kept things fresh, and they had to lean on each other a lot to adjust to new living conditions. The advice the Shidlers wanted to impart on young couples was to be tolerant, give space, work together, listen and have fun together. Bill and Karen Stucky aren’t far behind the Shidlers. They’ve been married since 1957, making it 63 years. They’re both 82. The Stuckys have been together since they finished high school, but they’ve known each other since they

were in first grade. For a long time, Karen didn’t see Bill as someone she’d date. Their friend groups hung out a lot throughout their time in school, and she finally decided Bill seemed “sorta cool.” They started dating and got married between their sophomore and junior years of college at IU. The Stuckys said they love to dance together. While they were at IU, they attended dances in the Wright Quad dining hall. They loved to go to movies together and go out to eat. She loves his homemade chili, though he doesn’t have a recipe for it, it’s all just thrown together. Dancing is difficult now, but they said they still go out to the movies and on dinner dates often. Every year for Valentine’s Day, Bill tries to show his affection by buying Karen flowers and getting up a couple hours earlier than her to hide cards around

their cottage at Bell Trace. He does it to this day, and Karen keeps a drawer full of his cards. The Stuckys wanted to tell young couples they should try to do things they both enjoy. They encourage giving each other room to do what the other wants to do. Karen has an office where she can read and work, and Bill has a workshop where he makes clocks, model engines and more. Glenn and Donna Toney, 88 and 78, have been married for 45 years. They met while they were both in the military. “We’re like a team, and we always have been,” Donna said. The Toneys were stationed at a military base outside Indianapolis when they met. Donna was walking in uniform to work when Glenn, also on his way to work, drove past and noticed her. He said he stopped and asked her if she wanted a ride to base since he could tell they were both going in the same direction. Donna noticed his uniform and name tag and figured, why not. That evening they made a date to get coffee together. Donna said she wasn’t so sure about Glenn at first. She’d stand him up on dates they’d planned, and she didn’t want to confront him over the phone about it. Glenn said that was the last straw. He got up the next morning earlier than usual, hoping to get to work before Donna so he didn’t have to see her. Unknowingly, Donna did the same exact thing, and they ran into each other. Glenn told Donna to get in his car. He told her they should probably talk. Glenn and Donna were married less than a year after

they met. Donna was going to be stationed in Germany, and if they were married, they could be stationed together. The assignment was eliminated, but Glenn wanted to get married anyway. She could still be transferred at any time. “I kinda like you, and I’d hate to see you pack up and leave,” he said. The Toneys’ anniversary is close to Valentine’s Day, so they usually end up having a date for the holiday. This year, they’re going to Hilltop Family Restaurant in Spencer, Indiana with their children. The Toneys said good relationships are built on trust, respect, caring and concern. Glenn said you also need to be good friends. “She’s my best friend,” he said. Harry and June Patton’s story is one of modern love. They’re both 90, but they’ve only been married to each other for four years. A few months after June moved into Bell Trace, a friend introduced her to Harry, who lived down the hall. The two had previously been married, both for more than 50 years. Both their spouses died in 2007. Harry said he was looking for a good cook, and she is one. Much of their married life has taken place in Bell Trace. They were married in their apartment living room by a

friend. They enjoy watching “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune.” On Sundays, since they’re unable to physically go to church, they watch a church program together. If they could, they said they’d go on a date to Applebee’s or Cracker Barrel. Harry said he believes in marrying for love. He said the love they have for each other now doesn’t replace the love they both had for their previous spouses. They still love them, but without them, they were forced to come home to an empty apartment with nobody to spend time with. Now, Harry and June have each other to come home to. Their advice for young couples is simple: Know them well, respect them and don’t jump into anything too quickly.

Fire alarms set off by burnt popcorn and Easy Mac seem to be part of the college experience, but the Bloomington Fire Department is trying to change this cycle. BFD is increasing fire safety education efforts to decrease the number of fire alarms on campus, especially since many freshmen live in units with attached kitchens this year. Fire Prevention Officer Tom Figolah said BFD began education efforts about two years ago, and there has since been a 50% decrease in fires on campus. Figolah said his goal is to visit all the residence halls to provide fire safety education to students. In early February, BFD set up booths with safety information in Wright Dining Hall. Figolah said BFD also does fire extinguisher training and hands only CPR training. One of the goals BFD outlined in its 2019 Public Safety Report was to increase education programing with students. However, Figolah said fire alarms have remained an issue. Since 2015, Forest Quad and Read Center are the resi-

dence halls with the most calls with 225 fire-related runs to Forest and 162 to Read One residence hall BFD focused on was Union Street Center. With 303 kitchens across the center’s seven buildings, there was a concern for incoming freshmen living there. “We hit them hard with fire safety and fire prevention efforts in August and September,” IU Emergency Management Coordinator Cherie Anderson said. Anderson said the number of calls for the 2019-20 school year have been low.

Spruce Hall has also had problems with fire safety beginning last semester. Spruce Hall resident assistant Meg Chapman said she and other RAs have noticed that many ovens on floors’ kitchens are left on after they’re used. The problem became persistent on some floors, and RAs discovered ovens routinely left on the hottest setting. “I think a lot of the issues probably arise from the fact that our building is all freshmen now, and a lot of them are cooking on their own for the first time,” Chapman said.

Figolah said the Dean of Students Office is also alerted when there is a fire alarm. He said the office investigates who, why and for what reason caused the alarm to go off. Forest Quad resident Jose Huerta said he felt annoyed by the number of fire alarms and their inconvenient timing. “I find the fire alarms a bit too much especially when it involves minor things setting it off,” Huerta said. Read Center resident Jayda Payne said she has experienced six fire alarms this year. “It’s not cool to have them during the night when you know people are showering or studying,” Payne said. Eigenmann Hall resident Addison Milton said she thought about staying in her residence hall when alarms became repetitive and inconvenient. According to Protect IU, Indiana law requires a complete evacuation of the building when a fire alarm goes off. “I thought about it but never actually did,” Milton said. “It’s super annoying especially when I’m in bed and I have to walk down thirteen flights of stairs.”

IU quantum science center opens Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

IU’s Quantum Science and Engineering Center focuses on studying the possibilities of quantum theory, the center’s scientific director Gerardo Ortiz said. A team from the physics department got $3 million to go toward the new center from a research competition in 2018. The center focuses on studying the possibilities of quantum theory, the center’s scientific director Gerardo Ortiz said. He said the center, located at IU’s Center for the Exploration of Energy and Matter, will be at the forefront of quantum research and technology. The center is currently in the beginning stages, but Ortiz hopes it will become larger. “This is the very beginning of something we hope to be very big one day,” Ortiz said. Advancements in quantum sciences can affect every field from physics to philosophy, he said. He said the study of quantum mechanics and other fields of quantum research is important because quantum mechanics is the best mathematical framework that explains the nature of the universe we live in.

The 20th century brought an influx of quantum technology. This time period is known as the first Quantum Revolution and resulted in technology like X-ray, lasers, GPS and MRI. The quantum research being done at IU showcases the possibilities that the current Second Quantum Revolution will bring, Ortiz said. The goal of this revolution is to manipulate the properties of quantum mechanics in order to create newer, more secure technologies in all fields, including secure communications and infrastructure, he said. Support for quantum research swelled after Congress passed the National Quantum Initiative Act in December 2018. Developing a quantum simulator is a large research project at the center, and a feature only IU is doing, Ortiz said. Studying quantum systems can be difficult because even the act of measuring these systems can change the way they behave. These simulators are important because they allow someone to create a simulation of a quantum system with its unique quantum properties while simultane-

IU’s United Council of Equity is working to improve IU’s bias response and racial relationships on campus. The UCE was started in the fall 2019 semester. Cedric Harris, director of bias response, said he is excited to try this new approach to help improve IU’s response to bias incidents. “I wanted to start this council because I noticed different groups of identity-based students that were experiencing instances of bias,” Cedric said. “They were concerned about what was happening in response to them.” The UCE’s primary goal is to help provide a place where students of all backgrounds can come together and discuss their issues with each other. “Every one of them is experiencing these instances of bias,” Cedric said. “How can I bring them all together in solidarity and support each other when these things happen and realize we aren’t the only ones that these things are happening too.” The UCE is bringing student leaders to both identitybased and non-identity organizations from across campus in order to help bridge the gap between marginalized communities of students. Beyond the relationship building aspect of the council, Maiya Cook, founder of the UCE and director of equity and inclusion for IU Student Government, said she hopes to help improve IU for all minority students. “We try to cultivate discussion, plan and use the great

ously controlling and changing aspects of the system. Ortiz said doing quantum research requires a new way of thinking — it means changing the basis of what we know. “We’ve been thinking logically, based on the classic thinking we’ve always relied on, but we need to think in a way that fits with quantum logic,” he said. Individual projects in the center were funded in part by grants from the U.S. Depart-

ment of Energy and the National Science Foundation. These agencies would also benefit from advancements in quantum fields, executive director and physics professor David Baxter said. This center is going to create a lot of opportunities both for IU faculty and students to do research, Baxter said. “We’re scientists,” Baxter said. “We want to be able to understand what’s happening in this emerging field.”

heads we have in the space to prevent biases and/or support diversity, equity and inclusion” Cook said. UCE is made up of leadership members of student organizations such as Culture of Care and the Interfraternity Council. This allows the council to hear from students with a variety of experiences. All of these groups of students are experiencing instances of bias and want them to come together in solidarity and support of one another. By being a part of the United Council of Equity, they are able to realize that they are not the only ones these instances of bias happen to, Harris said. As a student-run organization, the UCE has a different type of voice than IU staff members and administrators, as students have perspectives of what it is like to exist on the IU campus on a day-to-day basis. “From a university standpoint, you can focus on issues of diversity and inclusion, but you are speaking on behalf of somebody else,” Ayla Winegar, Culture of Care representative, said. “It’s important for student voices to be included in the equation when discussing issues of bias.” Cook said that IU’s campus is understandably self-segregated at times due to the active use of safe-spaces. “In times when biases do occur it feels like only your particular space and community has that support and it shouldn’t be like that,” Cook said. “It should be everyone’s problem, not just one group’s problem.”

Businesses react to city’s Annexation bill rehashes proposed towing changes state vs. local power struggle Joey Bowling

Joey Bowling

jobowl@iu.edu | @joeybowling8

Discussions about the cost of towing led to shouting from towing company owners and attempts to cut off council members mid-sentence Wednesday night, with the meeting lasting more than three hours. The Bloomington City Council discussed towing practices and fees while talking about a proposed ordinance and four amendments dictating how towing companies can conduct business. City deputy administrator and attorney Stephen Lucas said the ordinance was meant to prevent predatory practices by towing companies such as refusing to release vehicles, towing vehicles a great distance and charging exorbitant towing and storage fees. It also sets regulations for towing and clarifies rights of both property and vehicle owners. The amendment about administrative fees towing companies can charge sparked a heated discussion. The council did not give a recommendation on whether to pass it. The other amendments were sent to the Bloomington City Council with recommendations to pass them. There were a number of suggested amendments to the ordinance, Lucas said. The first would raise the base towing fee from $125 to $135 for a tow, which would align Bloomington’s fee with the Monroe County and IU towing fees. The committee unanimously recommended passing the first amendment. Council member Jim Sims, the sponsor of the ordinance, said it addresses predatory towing, not towing in general.

A bill approved by the Indiana Senate last month rehashes a state versus local government power struggle that’s been developing since 2017. The bill would require majority approval from residents and businesses in proposed annexed areas before annexation can begin. The bill was first read to the Indiana House Feb. 4. The bill laid out the new procedure for annexation, a legal process that allows a city or town to add land to its boundaries, Republican Sen. Rick Niemeyer said. Niemeyer, the author of the bill, said it requires a majority approval from affected residents and businesses before annexation can occur. The bill also eliminates the remonstrance procedure, which allowed annexed areas to opt out of annexations if enough signatures were gathered. “When they start jumping two and three miles annexing ground, those people sometimes don’t have any say,” Niemeyer said of the current process. Niemeyer said the bill is meant to protect people who made the decision to live outside a city’s boundary for whatever reason, such as avoiding paying for services they may already have. Bloomington began efforts to annex about 10,000 acres in Feb. 2017. Of the nine areas the city was trying to annex, three were physically inside city limits but not incorporated already and one was struck from consideration after a petition signed by area residents

Sue Sgambelluri, Bloomington city council member, makes a point during a city council meeting Feb. 12 at City Hall. The council discussed possible updates to the city’s non-consensual towing policies and fees.

Sims said there was a complaint in which a woman left her vehicle for less than an hour and had to pay $200 to get it back. Multiple tow company owners argued the amendment would allow a warning to stop renewal of a towing license, rather than after multiple offenses or a penalty. The council amended the wording so a single warning would not be enough to stop renewal of a towing license. Jacob Padawan, owner of TowTime Towing, said businesses should be able to control their operations and prices. “Who controls what the hell our price is?” Padawan said. Sims disagreed and said the definition of “predatory” is a complex, subjective issue. He said there is a difference between fair business practices and predatory towing, giving examples such as charging large towing fees. “This is to control and protect our most vulnerable citizens,” Sims said. City attorney Mike Rouker said the new procedures are similar to those of other cities such as Indianapolis and

South Bend, Indiana. The amendment about licenses was sent to the Bloomington Common Council with a recommendation to pass with a 5-2 vote. Councilmembers Isabel Piedmont-Smith and Kate Rosenbarger left before the amendment was voted on. Padawan said the administrative fee, another point of contention, should be about $65 to reflect the extra administrative duties, such as policing parking lots. The driver for the tow company must drive and check every car in the lots they monitor, along with checking no-tow lists from the property owners, which change frequently, Padawan said. These services should fall under administrative fees, he said. Ken Parrish, owner of Ken’s Westside Service & Towing said residents shouldn’t pay for policing, and administrative fees are murky and undefined. He said he’d love to make more money, but the fees don’t add up. “If they think their overhead is more than mine, then I’d like to share my books,” Parrish said. “I think the prices they’re asking for is absurd.”

was presented to Bloomington City Council. There were also months of public meetings and outreach. The city stopped trying to annex the eight areas in April 2017 due to a last-minute addition to Indiana’s budget bill. The clause terminated all annexations made after Dec. 31, 2016, and before July 1, 2017, and blocked new proposals until 2022, according to court documents. This addition and quick turnaround was the basis for the city’s lawsuit against Gov. Eric Holcomb, which was filed in May of that year. The lawsuit alleged the legislation specifically targeted Bloomington because it was the only city moving forward with annexation at the time, according to court documents. After months of backand-forth from the local and state government, Judge Frank Nardi of Monroe Circuit Court 6 ruled in favor of Bloomington in April 2019. Holcomb’s legal team tried multiple times to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing the governor was the wrong party to sue. Nardi ruled the legislation was unconstitutional and targeted Bloomington specifically, according to court documents. Holcomb’s team appealed the decision, bringing it to the Indiana Supreme Court. The court heard both sides’ arguments Jan. 9 and said it will discuss and have an answer in due course, according to court video. Sen. Mark Stoops, DBloomington, said the 2020 bill is much more broad and affects any local government trying to annex, which is a contrast from the legislation specifically targeting Bloom-

ington in 2017. “That’s going to be a high bar to reach,” he said. “I definitely object to the way the legislature uses their power to just stomp on some local governments legal ability to annex.” It’s better to sometimes annex in pieces and focus first on areas inside the city, Stoops said. Bloomington attempted to annex large swaths of land, and that’s where the city ran into problems. Annexation typically leads to higher property taxes, and many property owners don’t want to be annexed, unless they need services which being a part of the city would bring. “Annexation is always complicated,” Stoops said. Paul Helmke, former mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, said annexation can be a good thing because it can help better reflect the economic and demographics of a city. “Republicans supposedly believe in local control,” Helmke said. “What they’re saying here is the government is best closest to the people, unless we disagree with it.” Helmke said the lawsuit gets at the heart of whether local governments can actually govern themselves without the state or other entities stepping in. “Who do we want making our decisions?” he said. “The state government in Indianapolis, or folks at the local level?” The bill would change the annexation process from one where residents and business owners opt in rather than out. The bill will be heard and reviewed by the House Committee on Local Government.

Climate change survey to ﬁnd climate risks to community Lily Wray lgwray@iu.edu | @lilywray_

Bloomington’s Department of Economic and Sustainable Development is inviting residents to participate in an online survey to help the city identify climate-related risks to the community and risks to Monroe County, the city announced Feb. 6. According to Bloomington’s 2018 Sustainability Action Plan some climate-related risks include increased heat stroke due to higher temperatures, respiratory illness due to poorer air quality and an increased number of ticks and mosquitoes carrying vector-borne illnesses. Lauren Travis, the assistant director for sustainability for the department, said the survey will help community members be able to express to the city how climate change affects their lives. “It’s just an initial way to get people involved that may not always be present at city meetings or just want to be involved with something that’s very quick capacity and just

getting a broader range of attitudes and opinions across the community and also the conversation around climate change,” Travis said. The survey is confidential and takes about five to 10 minutes to complete, according to a press release from the City of Bloomington. It asks survey respondents questions concerning changes in weather and health-related issues that may be a direct effect from climate change. Later this year, residents will be able to give feedback on the action taken. Travis said the survey is part of a larger process of climate change adaptations that will take about 10 months. In 2018, Bloomington started developing its Sustainability Action Plan, which laid out the framework for the city’s five-year plan. Part of this plan was to focus on climate change and the threats it has on the community. The plan also includes initiatives for transportation, waste, water, ecosystem health and local food and ag-

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Fourth quarter woes cost IU against OSU By Sam Bodnar sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

The crowd at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall erupted Sunday after freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes’ layup put No. 20 IU women’s basketball ahead by 10. Ohio State could not stop IU and called a timeout less than a minute into the fourth. A few minutes later, it was IU head coach Teri Moren calling a timeout. Assembly Hall was quiet. IU’s offense had been shut down, and its defense collapsed. The Buckeyes knocked off the Hoosiers 80-76 after a 31-point fourth quarter. The Hoosiers stopped hitting field goals and the Buckeyes took full advantage. “We lost because of our defense down the stretch,” junior guard Ali Patberg said. Prior to the scoring drought and defensive woes, IU’s offense was scoring near the basket and drawing fouls for free throw opportunities. Patberg was leading all scorers with 16 points and had five of the team’s nine assists. She drove to the basket for tough finishes at the rim and used jump shots from the right side to keep IU ahead. The junior finished the day with 22 points. Sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe and junior

Junior Jaelynn Penn tries to fight for the ball Feb. 16 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Penn scored 14 points against Ohio State.

76-80 guard Jaelynn Penn each added 14 points. Gulbe drew fouls below the basket and earned multiple opportunities to hit free throws at the line. Penn pulled in eight rebounds, collected two steals and hit her free throws as well.

However, Penn and her teammates could not score or cover defenders on the other side of the Ohio State timeout. IU players missed open layups and 3-pointers, got into foul trouble and allowed Ohio State to climb back into the game. “We’re getting good shots, we’re not hitting shots,” Moren said. “We’re not knocking them down

when they matter the most.” The Buckeyes were led by freshman guards Jacy Sheldon and Madison Greene. The duo combined for 23 points and took over the game in the closing quarter. Sheldon ran by the IU guards and scored open layups. Greene scored 14 points in the quarter, hitting two 3-pointers and a clutch jump shot with seven sec-

onds left that put her team out of reach. Ohio State forwards took advantage of secondchance shots under the rim and sent guards through to catch bounce passes and finish layups. Ohio State also thrived on points in transition by sending guards back early and outnumbering IU’s defenders. After sophomore guard

Grace Berger hit a needed jump shot, Sheldon ran back, caught a pass on the left side of the basket and made it a two possession game with just 1:12 remaining. “Defense let us down today, there’s no question,” Moren said. “Ohio State is a team that wants to get the ball up the floor quickly, and there’s no defense for that run-out layup.” In the fourth quarter, the Buckeyes shot nearly 80% from the floor while the Hoosiers hit just 36% of their shots. Free throws contributed to more than half of the Hoosiers’ points, but missed layups and other shooting struggles from the likes of Berger, Penn, and senior forward Brenna Wise made it difficult to keep pace with the Buckeyes. “They’re not trying to miss, it’s just that they are,” Moren said. “We’re having a hard time finding the bucket right now.” Despite having four starters in double figures, the IU bench was silent in comparison to Ohio State’s. Holmes played just under 16 minutes off the bench while the remaining players on the roster played between two and six minutes. Alternatively, Ohio State’s bench scored more than double IU’s. Its players hit open 3s and took advantage of the IU defense to win the game.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Jackson-Davis struggles to produce in road loss By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — After appearing to secure a rebound in the first half, freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis started to dribble. Or at least he tried to. In an instant he was surrounded on both sides and Michigan senior center Jon Teske stole the ball before finishing an uncontested layup. IU was down 12. JacksonDavis had only shot the ball one time in the first half. IU head coach Archie Miller said Jackson-Davis hasn’t looked like an average freshman this season. Jackson-Davis leads IU in scoring and is among the front-runners for the Big Ten Freshman of the Year award. He has been a constant in the starting lineup on the interior — a piece IU has needed as its most reliable option. But at the Crisler Center — and especially in that moment as Teske ripped the ball away — he looked like an average freshman. And in a game where IU’s defense struggled in all areas of the floor, IU was unable to keep pace while Jackson-Davis struggled in its 89-65 loss to Michigan. “We’ve got to find a way to bring Trayce with us on the road here eventually,” Miller said. “We have to find a way to have one of our best players help the cause.” Jackson-Davis only scored five points, his second lowest total of the season. His only lower point perfor-

mance came on the road on Jan. 15 against Rutgers when he scored four. He attempted three shots against Michigan, tying a season low. Jackson-Davis picked up a foul to go to the line on each of his two baskets. It was the type of physicality and finishing ability he’s shown throughout the season. Yet with just three shots attempted, there were only so many opportunities for that offense. He had such a small number of attempts because he struggled to find himself open, and his teammates struggled to pass him the ball. Michigan dominated IU on the glass throughout the game, leading IU 37-21 in rebounding. That is the largest deficit IU has had in rebounding all season. Jackson-Davis is IU’s leading rebounder, but he only had two rebounds against Michigan. Without his reliability, there were very limited opportunities for the second chance points that IU relies on. There were even fewer opportunities to get Jackson-Davis to the free throw line, and he leads the team in free throw percentage among qualified players too. For the season, JacksonDavis is averaging 14 points and eight rebounds per game. Account for just the road games and that drops to 9.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, and that includes an 18-point, 13-rebound Jan. 18 game against Nebraska. Defensively, JacksonDavis was forced to switch

between guarding Teske and freshman guard Franz Wagner. That created a contrast of styles where JacksonDavis would rotate between the physicality on the inside against Teske with the speed and shooting ability of Wagner on the wing. Alongside a poor defensive performance from redshirt junior forward Joey Brunk, Michigan’s offense had among its best days of the season, shooting 57% from the field. In some respects, IU’s offense found a way to at least attempt to overcome what it didn’t have in Jackson-Davis. Senior forward De’Ron Davis, who averages just 2.1 points per game, scored a career-high 18 on 9-9 shooting. But outside of Davis, IU only shot 21-52, including 3-12 from three. Even for how well Davis played, without JacksonDavis producing in any of the areas where he leads the team there is only so much Miller’s team is able to do, especially on the road. IU is now 1-6 on the road this season, the lone win coming against 7-18 Nebraska. There are two different versions of Miller’s team between at home and the road. For a team marred by inconsistencies, when IU’s best player isn’t producing, it is quite the test to overcome. “Part of what Trayce has got to understand is you gotta do it every night,” Miller said. “In this league, it’s very difficult for a freshman in general to be one of your best players.”

IU comes up short defensively against Michigan, loses third straight road game By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — IU men’s basketball lost its third straight road game Sunday. IU struggled on the defensive end when it lost to Michigan 89-65 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Each road loss for the Hoosiers has been by at least nine points. The defeat puts IU at 16-9 overall and 6-8 in Big Ten play. Seven of the eight losses have come on the road. IU hung around for the most part in the first half thanks to senior center De’Ron Davis and junior guard Al Durham both scoring in double digits. Outside of their contributions, the Hoosiers only made six other field goals in the first 20 minutes. Senior guard Devonte

attempts in the game along with two rebounds. One of the few positives for IU in the game came from Davis. He was a perfect 9-9 from the field for 18 points. He stepped up as the rest of the IU frontcourt struggled against center Jon Teske and forward Austin Davis. In the second half, Michigan pulled away and maintained the lead throughout. Michigan also dominated the boards, outrebounding IU by 16. The Wolverines went 9-17 from beyond the arc while the Hoosiers were 3-12. Up next for IU is another road game on Wednesday night at Minnesota. When the Hoosiers traveled to Minnesota last season, they lost by 21 points. The Golden Gophers have 10 wins at home this season.

Hoosiers struggle to score runs IU ﬁnds success

at three separate meets

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike

IU softball got its best offense at the end of the weekend as they went 1-3 in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge in Durham, North Carolina, this weekend. After losing their first three games Friday and Saturday, IU was down three runs in the fifth against Syracuse and facing a possible winless weekend. Freshman Desiree Dufek then hit a two-run home run to bring IU within one run. IU loaded the bases right after and junior Taylor Lambert brought in the tying run with a sacrifice fly. In the top of the seventh, sophomore Hannah Davis hit a solo, go-ahead home run and IU won 4-3. “We clutched up late in the game to be able to tie the game and get the goahead run,” IU head coach Shonda Stanton said. Dufek has been one of the best players for the Hoosiers so far this season. She leads the team with six runs batted in and two home runs. “She’s really settled in there and we couldn’t be more proud of what we’re seeing,” Stanton said. “She’s had some big moments.” The rest of the weekend lacked positives for IU. Junior Grayson Radcliffe led off the first game against Duke on Friday with a solo home run. After that, it seemed IU couldn’t get any offense going. Duke responded with two runs off an infield error in the bottom of the first. Senior Emily Goodin and Duke junior Peyton St.

IU softball Associate Coach Chanda Bell talks to catcher Bella Norton after the third out April 10, 2019, during the first game against Purdue. IU went 1-3 during the Big Ten/ACC Challenge Feb. 14-16 in Durham, North Carolina.

George remained locked in a pitchers’ duel the rest of the game. IU only had six hits after the first inning and Duke failed to record any. Neither team scored again and IU lost 2-1. “We’ve not been good enough in a moment where all you have to do is do your job,” Stanton said. “If a groundball’s hit to you, you need to make the play.” Goodin lost again in a pitchers’ duel Saturday morning against Syracuse. The Hoosiers and Orange were tied at one after seven before Syracuse added two in the eighth. IU scored one on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eight but couldn’t come back, losing 3-2. Goodin pitched all eighth

innings of the second game and wasn’t available for the second game of the doubleheader against Duke. Without her, IU struggled to find outs in a 16-2 loss in five innings. Freshman Kate Rehberg started for IU but was pulled before recording an out. Redshirt senior Josie Wood allowed six earned runs over an inning and a third in relief. Sophomore Taylor Askland provided two and two-thirds innings of relief from Wood, while only allowing three earned runs. Rehberg reentered the game, allowing seven total runs on two hits and five walks. Stanton said the coaches knew they would struggle when Goodin isn’t avail-

able. After sophomore Natalie Foor was injured before the season, Stanton said the pitching staff would be thin. “That changed the landscape for us,” Stanton said. “It’s going to take some time for those three behind Goodin to get there.” Despite struggling for most of the weekend, Stanton said she thinks the 3-6 Hoosiers are figuring out how to win. She said once they put all the small things together, they’ll be able to celebrate a lot more victories. “For our team to be able to stay the course and pull this out shows me that there’s enough fight in them,” Stanton said. “There’s enough care in them to pull it together by Big Ten play.”

The IU women’s track and field team recorded firstplace finishes and lifetime bests this past weekend at the University of Arkansas’ Tyson Invitational, the Iowa State Classic and Hoosier Hills. While the team experienced success, a main goal of this weekend was to achieve qualifying marks for the upcoming Big Ten championships approaching in two weeks and the NCAA indoor championships in March. Senior Leah Moran, who already had the program record with a mark of 13.14 meters in the triple jump, was able to beat her own distance twice in one series at the Tyson invitational. Moran had a mark of 13.17 meters in her second attempt before reaching 13.22 in her fifth attempt to ultimately place third in the triple jump invitational. Moran placed fifth at the 2019 Tyson Invitational. “I feel definitely pretty good coming out of it,” Moran said. “Coming to this meet, I was really excited. I did really well at it last year.” Sophomore Hope Purcell and senior Jenna Jungels both had notable performances in Arkansas alongside Moran. Purcell placed second in the high jump with a mark of 1.72 meters, while Jungels placed fifth in the long jump with a mark of 6.02 meters. While the team’s jumpers were sent to the Tyson Invitational, the team also ran in middle distance and long-

distance races in Ames, Iowa, for the Iowa State Classic. Seniors Joely Pinkston and Mallory Mulzer along with sophomore Jenna Barker competed in the meet. Pinkston and Mulzer both competed in the 800-meter, finishing at 11th and 18th respectively. Barker placed sixth with a time of 4:43.64 and was able to pass her previous personal record of 4:48.49 in the women’s mile. All other athletes stayed in Bloomington for Hoosier Hills, the final home meet of the indoor season. The group that stayed home for the meet finished with multiple first-place finishes, including freshman Elizabeth Stanhope, junior Kelly Mindak and senior Megan Grabowski. Stanhope won her first event of the season in the 600-meter with a time of 1:31.07. Mindak placed first in the 800-meter fast section with a time of 2:12.38. Grabowski took both the top qualifying spot in the preliminary race and the firstplace finish in the finals of the 60-meter dash with times of 7.50 and 7.49 respectively. The 4x400-meter relay team, consisting of Stanhope, Mindak, freshman Lauren Thomas and freshman Beth Barnes, placed second with a time of 3:56.73. The team will return to action for its final regularseason indoor meet Saturday at the University of Notre Dame’s Alex Wilson Invitational.

Hoosiers excel in weekend meets across the country By Matt Smith mrs30@iu.edu | @mattsmith1401

IU men’s track and field found success at four different meets this weekend, including a home meet in Bloomington and meets at Iowa State University and the University of Arkansas. “We’re all preparing for the Big Ten Championships in a couple weeks, and I believe this weekend helped get us different competition in order to prepare,” senior Adam Coulon said. Friday night at Hoosier Hills, senior Willie Morrison took first place in the shot put after last week’s recordbreaking performance on Feb. 8 at the Meyo Invitational. The Big Ten Track and Field Athlete of the week won with a throw of 20.21 meters. For the IU distance team,

senior Kyle Mau took second in the 3,000-meter race with a time of 7:50.22. Junior Ben Veatch wasn’t far behind him, placing third in the event with a time of 7:53.75. Sophomore Rikkoi Brathwaite ran the event for the first time and placed sixth for the Hoosiers with a time of 50.45 in the 400-meter. IU junior Isaiah Ware took second with a time of 49.48. In the high jump, the Hoosiers took two of the top three positions. Freshman Grayson Rolen finished second with a mark of 2.00 meters and junior Matt McCown took third with a mark of 1.95 meters. Senior Bryce Millar was the lone Hoosier to compete on the first day of the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa. On Friday he ran the 5,000-meter in 14:12.49 to take eighth in the event. Se-

nior Adam Wallace ran the 800-meter in 1:51.10 and placed 13th on Saturday. At the Tyson Invite at Arkansas, Coulon took second in pole vault and set a personal best mark with a height of 5.65 meters. Freshman Nathan Stone hit a mark of 5.30 meters. Junior Jyles Etienne placed sixth in the high jump with a height of 2.11 meters. IU head coach Ron Helmer also took sophomores Arjun Jha and Matthew Schadler to the David Hemery Valentine Invite in Boston to compete in the mile. Schadler improved his personal best in the event with a time of 3:58.45 to finish third overall. Jha ran the race in 4:03.04 and placed 23rd. “It was definitely different not having the whole team there because we are so close,” Coulon said.

Posso said the back of the bus was full but there was plenty of room in the front where the man was standing. Students on the bus were shouting that it’s Black History Month and recorded the incident, she said. Owens said she also went to speak with the driver to try and calm her down. “I didn’t know what to do, but because I’m a graduate student who is also black, I couldn’t just stand there and watch this happen,” Owens said. “I felt compelled to say something.” After the driver argued with Capriglione, she con-

Owens said she filed a complaint to the IU Campus Bus Service. She said they responded and said they are investigating the incident. Director of Bias Response Cedric Harris said as of Thursday morning his department has not received a formal report about the incident. Harris said he hears stories from students that incidents like these are happening on campus, but he can’t do much without a report. Harris said his goal is to educate students and make them aware that the bias response team is here on campus. He said the collective student and faculty body needs to hold people accountable. “You really can’t prevent hardly anything from happening, but what you can do is provide enough information or education to help,” Harris said.

Softening Stigma “Autism spectrum is not something to be frowned upon. It’s something to be celebrated.” Senior Abe Shapiro

Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

Editor’s note: This story contains potentially offensive language. Abe Shapiro is always moving. Walking to class through the center of IU’s campus, he shakes his hand, flips a textbook in the air and bobs his head to music only he can hear. His headphones create a barrier between him and loud noises, like sirens, that make his ears feel almost on fire. He tweaks his head toward his shoulder and adjusts the rim of his IU baseball hat. Thoughts dart through his mind like lightning. A literal brain storm, he notes. The future, the career coach he met with yesterday, his resume (he’s had one since freshman year), a draft of his 12-page paper on Cold War nuclear warfare due this weekend. He’s constantly worrying about having enough time. The paper is stressful, but it will be fun. He obsesses over disasters, especially war and the Titanic. He’s interested in why they happen the way they do. He likes learning how to prevent them. “It’s interesting to see people so frightened over what we know now is OK,” he said. * * * Abe, 22, was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, now incorporated under autism spectrum disorder, around first grade. Autism renders Abe naive to social cues such as eye contact and body language. It sharpens his anxiety, slows his information processing, amplifies his sense of sound and magnifies his sense of touch. Several types of therapy, reaching eight hours a week at

its peak, helped Abe overcome many of his early challenges. One woman who helped him shared a phrase that Abe’s family now repeats often: “We’ll win with what we have.” Abe practiced writing with a pencil at the bottom of a box of sand to build up muscles in his hands. He didn’t understand hugs until his dad broke them down with him. When pressed, health professionals told Abe’s parents that a kid like him wouldn’t go to college. If anything, he’d go to a small school with ample services. “I think they were trying to be helpful in lowering our expectations,” his dad Jonathan Shapiro said. His parents wouldn’t accept those limits. They decided to treat Abe like his twin sister Sarah, who doesn’t have autism. Now, Abe is part of a new generation of autistic young adults attending colleges across the country at higher rates than ever. He moved from Los Angeles to Bloomington to do it. He’s on track to graduate in May. He’s serving in student government. And he’s fallen in love. IU’s record of students on the autism spectrum is tracked by the number of students registered for academic accommodations through Disability Services for Students. In the fall, DSS recorded 137. The true number is bound to be larger. Students with autism often do not need or want academic help. The social aspect of college can be harder — but DSS is designed for the classroom. Despite an increase in awareness and diagnoses of autism, it still has a stigma. Several students and community members declined to be named in this story or spoke to their difficulty doing so, fearing condescension and judgment by peers, professors

and potential employers if they were “outed.” Abe hopes to soften this stigma. “Autism spectrum is not something to be frowned upon,” Abe said. “It’s something to be celebrated.” In his final year at IU, he’s been standing up for people who might not have the bravery or circumstances to call attention to their differences. Abe doesn’t just identify as autistic. He embraces it. He acknowledges his limitations, but also recognizes his distinct strengths: an impeccable memory for subjects that interest him, a penchant for organization and honesty because lying is unnatural. “I try to make it work for me, rather than against me,” he said. IU students registered for autism spectrum disorders last fall

Now, Abe is about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from IU. “The main thing is to not let it define you,” he said. “At the end of the day, we’re all human.” Below Sarah put her arm around Abe as they set up the scoreboard for the next round of bowling with the Neurodiversity Coalition at IU. “She’s defended me a lot,” Abe said. “She’s been there for me when I needed her the most.” MEL FRONCZEK | IDS

* * * In July, an IU senior lecturer of biology was accused of verbally abusing a Bloomington McDonald’s cashier with a disability. A customer recorded the professor, Claire Nisonger, calling the cashier a “stupid retard” and saying “people like that shouldn’t be allowed in public, much less operating a cash register.” Abe watched the video on Facebook and was troubled

by the false perceptions it displayed. He had to do something. A few months earlier, Abe and Nejla Routsong, a visiting lecturer in the Kelley School of Business, started an advocacy and community group called the Neurodiversity Coalition at IU to make campus more inclusive of people with neurodevelopmental disorders. IU offered DSS and Students on the Spectrum, a weekly support group, but nothing that was outwardfacing or student-driven. The McDonald’s incident gave the fledgling coalition a cause to rally around. Routsong and Emmy Helfrich, Abe’s girlfriend of two years, were the only coalition members in Bloomington. Emmy, who does not have autism, said she was cautious in interviews with local media. “I don’t think neurotypicals should speak over — speak for — people with neu-

rological conditions,” she said. Routsong, with feedback from other coalition members, wrote a petition asking IU for three things: to fully investigate the incident, remove the professor from interactions with students and issue a statement on the value of neurodiverse individuals on campus and in the community. 1,500 people signed the petition. Routsong, Emmy and Abe knew they couldn’t control

whether Nisonger learned a lesson. They could, however, work to change culture so something like this didn’t happen again. * * * Abe’s family never questioned whether he was smart, but he struggled to fit into the K-12 school system and its exSEE ABE, PAGE 8

Meet members of the coalition About 1,300 people are subscribed to the coalition’s email list, and 10 to 15 people regularly attend meetings. Some members are not on the spectrum but support the neurodiversity movement. Others chose not to be identified for this project. The Indiana Daily Student asked members why they joined the coalition and how they identify. Answers have been edited for clarity and style.

Ben Foley Sophomore I wanted more experience with advocacy and to get to know more people with the same struggles and conditions as me. I typically use “highfunctioning autism,” but I’m flexible.

Cecilia Buckley Research associate It’s a historical opportunity to participate and contribute. I felt it was a no-brainer. I tell other people I’m on the spectrum. To myself and my closest friends and family, I’m an “aspie girl.”

Dan Borowski 43, special education teacher I’ve struggled with selfadvocacy my entire life, but I’m trying. I identify as a person on the autism spectrum, based on my job and personal beliefs. I believe in person-first language. I think labels are overrated.

Angie Cornett 40, social worker Having a sense of community and belonging is important. No one wants to feel like a pariah. I haven’t been diagnosed, but I do identify with almost all the points of Asperger’s.

Megan Moyer Senior Neurodiversity, in a word, means acceptance. When I’m referring to myself I say ‘autistic.’ I consider autism as part of my identity. When I’m referring to others, I say “person on the spectrum.”

Emmy Helfrich Graduated from IU-B in December 2019 I think this area was lacking, and I wanted to set a basis for incoming generations on campus. I identify as neurotypical.

Nejla Routsong Visiting lecturer in the Kelley School of Business I joined the coalition to help younger generations live in a society that respects and appreciates them for their strengths. I feel that my autism changes everything about me.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 pectations that students stay on topic, learn the standard curriculum and don’t disrupt class. He was evaluated for an individualized education program, or IEP, which gave him educational consultants, physical therapists and an in-class assistant. Abe had no problem with subjects he liked — disasters, history, baseball. He’s memorized World Series winners from 1903-2019 and MVPs from 1955-2019. His high school didn’t offer an Advanced Placement U.S. History class, but Abe spent multiple days a week studying after school with his history teacher and by himself so he could take the exam. He scored a four out of five. Abe’s mom, Betsy Borns, tried to manipulate his interests to help him study other topics. She asked his second grade teacher to station a Titanic model in the classroom so he could imagine lessons in terms of the ship. At home, she edited math problems so they’d revolve around the Titanic — and when that got old, other disasters. Abe frustrated his twin sister at times. Math was hard for her, too. Why didn’t she deserve special problems tailored to her passions? Why was her brother re-

warded for behaving in a restaurant if she would do that anyway? Sarah watched Abe make friends who weren’t really his friends. People took advantage and made fun of him, but he couldn’t detect deceit, so how could he know? For middle school Abe moved from public school to Bridges Academy, a special needs school where he found “learning had meaning.” His interests didn’t feel awkward or strange anymore. His teachers seemed to care about him. “For the first time, I felt comfortable talking with people,” he said. Abe and Sarah applied to IU together. Their mom is from Indiana, and their cousin is Rabbi Sue Silberberg, the executive director of IU’s Helene G. Simon Hillel Center. Abe received his acceptance first. Sarah’s studying elementary education at IU so she can be the teacher she wishes Abe had. He’s majoring in history. Going to a big school scared them both. The new sounds, sights and smells intimidated Abe. He felt helpless without a routine. Abe called Sarah all the time freshman year. He had frequent panic attacks, which continued throughout college as he encountered uncertainty. But quitting school would be uncertain, too. He doesn’t know how he kept going. * * * The Neurodiversity Coalition marked Abe’s first time leading anything. He streamed the callout meeting on Facebook Live

so people who weren’t comfortable publicly identifying themselves could still participate. “The people here who are nervous about informing their professors, informing their fellow students about what it’s like to have some shortcomings socially, it can be a daunting task,” Abe said to his first audience — eight people in person, 130 views on Facebook that evening. Routsong, 42, told the audience that she was diagnosed with autism at 37. She doesn’t feel comfortable sharing this with her students. She doesn’t know anyone in her department who identifies as autistic. It can feel lonely. Routsong encouraged Abe to use the term “neurodiversity” rather than autism, expanding their mission to advocate for people with conditions including Tourette syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia. The international neurodiversity movement began in the late 1990s after an Australian sociologist with autism wrote the term in an honors thesis. Supporters define it as a civil rights movement that advocates for viewing people with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders as having differences that need to be worked with, not problems that need to be fixed. Throughout the fall, almost every coalition meeting focused on how to make the university respond to the McDonald’s incident. After brainstorming ideas for months, Routsong brought an email draft to a November coalition meeting. She read it out loud to the group of eight coalition members sitting around a long conference table in the Distinguished Alumni Room in the Indiana Memorial Union. Abe sat at the head. Routsong emailed the draft to each person so they could read it themselves, in silence. She sent the message to Provost Lauren Robel the next morning.

approached their first anniversary. Emmy suspects he planned it. Abe says it was a coincidence. Emmy reminds Abe it’s OK to wear headphones when they go out. He doesn’t like parties much, and neither does she. They like to watch movies, go to local concerts and play trivia. In December, they arrived about an hour early to “Parks and Rec” trivia at IU Late Nite. They quizzed each other on practice questions, and Abe researched for his nuclear warfare paper. After a few questions, the trivia emcee announced a break for a dance contest. Emmy glanced over her shoulder. “Abe?” He unraveled his headphones, scooted back his chair and, his expression serious, walked to the front. Abe loves releasing pentup energy through performance. “You can be any way you want to be,” he said. A medley of “Walk it Out,” “Gangnam Style” and “Juju On That Beat” played through black speakers that usually make Abe’s ears ring. He checked off all the corresponding dances. He dabbed, jump-lunged and ran in place, hitting the beats of the music perfectly. The other three contestants mostly stayed in one spot. Abe covered the space, popping down to the floor and back up again. Emmy laughed as she recorded a video of Abe on her phone. Everyone voted for the best dancer. Abe won. Emmy thinks people with autism are stigmatized for having intense interests. As a film major, she talks about her favorite movies to anyone who will listen. “Everybody has a weird passion that they research and know everything about,” she said. For their first anniversary, Emmy gave Abe a piece of coal from the Titanic. * * *

The morning of Nov. 13, Abe saw an email from Robel. He learned the professor at the heart of the McDonald’s incident had been suspended.

Abe felt overjoyed. “Three months of hard work finally came together in that one moment,” he said. IU spokesperson Chuck Carney confirmed to the Indiana Daily Student that Nisonger was on suspension. In a February email, Carney said she had resumed her duties, which do not involve interacting with students. “She has worked to address the issues involved in her suspension,” Carney said.

Nisonger did not respond to requests for comment. She previously referred the IDS to her lawyers, who did not respond to multiple calls. Emmy said she went into shock. At first she felt guilty. This professor was punished perhaps because of complaints by Emmy and her peers. Then she remembered. “She got herself in trouble for saying those things,” Emmy said. “We just held her accountable.”

Abe still didn’t see a public statement from the university, and he wanted more information on the investigation. But he felt the response started a discussion on social perceptions, signaling IU was willing to become more inclusive. The university had listened. * * * As the semester drew on, and not as many people were coming to meetings as Abe had

hoped, he realized his group needed to be fun if he wanted to make more changes. Advocacy groups such as the Neurodiversity Coalition are not only about tangible successes such as the response to the McDonald’s incident, said Samuel Johnson, president of the Hoosier Alliance for Neurodiversity, a statewide self-advocacy and disability rights organization. They’re about creating places where people with shared ex-

The Neurodiversity Coalition at IU meets Nov. 3, 2019, in the Distinguished Alumni Room in the Indiana Memorial Union. Faculty adviser Nejla Routsong said she likes looking at alumni’s faces on the walls throughout the meeting. “Maybe one day your faces will be on the walls,” she said to the group.

periences can connect. “The process is the message,” Johnson said. “We’re fighting for inclusion. We’re fighting to have spaces that we can be involved with. But in the act of doing that, we’re creating those spaces.” The coalition decided on a bowling night at the IMU in December. To make it as accessible as he could, Abe paid for everyone. He felt anxious. “This is gonna be a failure,” he thought. “It’s not enough people.” He didn’t wear his headphones, but he wore a beanie over his ears to stifle the blaring pop music, thumping bowling balls and toppling pins. To Abe’s surprise, his sister Sarah showed up. Abe bowled a strike and collapsed, ecstatic, on the floor. Sarah sat down to tie her shoes. “Abey, are you winning?” she asked him. “I’m lucky,” Abe said. She shook off his response. “You’re just good, kid,” she said. She slung her arm around her brother as they set up the scoreboard for the next round.

* * * After he graduates in May, Abe wants to continue fighting to eliminate educational inequity and promote disability rights. He’s considering law school or social work. First, he’s taking a year or two off. He plans to stay in Bloomington over the summer so he can work and be around the people he loves. He also wants to continue developing the coalition. As a member of IU Student Government Congress, he’s hoping to pass legislation that would circulate neurodiversity resource pamphlets in residence halls. In April he’s bringing Haley Moss, the first openly autistic lawyer in Florida, to speak on campus. Abe sees himself as an outlier. He’s not like other people, and he uses that to his advantage. He thinks others should too. “The greatest disaster would be kids like me being isolated from a world that doesn’t understand them,” Abe said. He’s doing his best to prevent that.

THE BRYCE IS RIGHT

Editors Abby Malala and Tom Sweeney opinion@idsnews.com

OPINION

I’m a former ﬁnite math tutor. The class is failing students. Christian Sayers, he/him is a senior in economics and mathematics.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Former President Barack Obama speaks June 4, 2008, at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference in Washington, D.C.

Presidential candidates should boycott AIPAC Bryce Greene, he/him is a senior in informatics. He is the president of the Palestinian Solidarity Committee at IU.

As the annual policy conference beginning Mar. 1 for the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, draws near, public pressure is mounting for Democratic hopefuls to boycott the event typically frequented by national political figures. America’s uncritical support for Israeli oppression of Palestinians has long been part of the bipartisan consensus, but has become a key issue for progressives. Since 1967, the U.S. has played a key role in enabling Israel’s violent behavior toward the Palestinian people. Currently, the U.S. provides $3.8 billion in annual aid to Israel. That accounts for roughly 23% of Israel’s military budget. The Israeli military is the main apparatus keeping Palestinians in subjugation. One of the main factors driving U.S. support for Israel is the considerable lobby the country maintains in the U.S. The Israel lobby is an informal array of Jewish, neoconservative and Chris-

tian Zionist organizations, and individuals who share the desire to orient U.S. foreign policy toward the state of Israel. Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, namesake of the Hamilton Lugar International Studies building, once said of the Israel Lobby, “There’s no lobby group that matches it...they’re in a class by themselves.” AIPAC is one of the most visible and most important linchpins of this network. Through the extensive network, the lobby is able to exert pressure on politicians through campaign funding, lobbying efforts and public relations campaigns. In its quest to promote an Israeli orientation in U.S. foreign policy, the group leverages anti-Arab and antiMuslim sentiment to generate sympathy for the most western-oriented Middle Eastern state. In the past, the conference has touted the presence of noted Islamophobes such as Steven Emerson, who regularly spreads the racist myth of American cities taken over by sharia law, and Frank Gaffney who invoked fears of a Muslim “stealth ji-

had” in U.S. cities. As the left wing of the Democratic party brings voices of marginalized groups into the mainstream, progressives have begun to include the plight of the Palestinians as one of their key issues. Last year, the pro-peace organization MoveOn called on Democratic candidates to boycott the AIPAC Policy Conference, citing AIPAC’s promotion of Islamophobia, efforts to oppose the Iran Nuclear Deal and the ongoing antagonism to Palestinian rights. Typically, the AIPAC Policy Conference is a bipartisan affair. At last year’s conference, many of the speakers, from Israelis to Republicans to Democrats spent time attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who had just been the center of controversy after calling attention to the lobby’s role in policy making. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer compared Omar’s criticism of AIPAC to Trump’s support for neoNazis. Despite this, several of the Democratic hopefuls including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sen. Elizabeth Warren,

D-Mass., and former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg did not attend the conference last year. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who was still running for President at the time, did not appear at the conference but instead hosted an AIPAC delegation in her senate office. This year, another propeace group, IfNotNow, is calling on candidates to boycott. So far, only Warren has said she would boycott. Sanders said previously during a town hall that he has “no objection to going,” but is not currently planning to do so. There is little indication as to the intentions of other contenders. Sanders and the rest of the Democratic field should follow Warren’s lead and actively boycott the AIPAC conference. AIPAC is at the head of a campaign to promote the dehumanization and the subjugation of the Palestinian people, and in carrying out this mission, it spreads racist hatred against Muslims and Arabs. Such an organization has no place in the future of progressive politics. greenebj@iu.edu

OPINION

The Yang Gang lives on Everett Kalman, he/him is a junior in law and public policy. He is the vice president of external affairs for Culture of Care at IU.

As the New Hampshire primary elections wound down, Andrew Yang announced the end of his presidential campaign. While this announcement was disappointing for many of his supporters in the “Yang Gang,” there is reason to remain hopeful about what his campaign stood for. Yang, a lawyer and entrepreneur, ran on a platform of being an outsider to politics in Washington, D.C., who wanted to prepare America for the unprecedented economic transition that technological automation would bring, according to his campaign website. While many of his campaign policies, such as increased gun regulation, protecting abortion rights and easing the burden of student loans are largely standard issue among the 2020 Democratic candidates, Yang stood out from the rest as a tireless proponent of his proposal for a universal basic income. This policy is one of the boldest ideas to combat poverty that has been introduced recently and deserves legitimate attention from the federal government. Yang’s campaign consistently pushed a singular policy to become synonymous with his name, and it worked. “If you’ve heard anything about me and my campaign, you’ve heard that someone is running for president who wants to give every American $1,000 a month,” Yang said in a campaign video. The so-called freedom dividend would create a

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

There is not likely a class that invokes more disdain than MATH-M118: Finite Mathematics. This reputation is largely deserved. I should know. I am an honors mathematics student at IU and worked as a finite peer tutor in fall 2018. Finite mathematics serves as the go-to course to fulfill IU’s general education math requirement, especially for math-averse students who have never taken calculus and don’t plan to start in college. The course is also required for students in some programs, such as those in the Kelley School of Business. Yet as a gen-ed staple, finite mathematics is hurting students. Consider finite mathematics’ DFW rate, which refers to the rate at which students receive a D, F or withdraw from a course. This metric is used in university records to measure class performance. In fall 2019, IUB grade distribution data showed a DFW rate of around 36%, which is more than double the university average of around 16%. These statistics are indicative of the underlying problem: Finite mathematics is not a well-designed option for non-math majors to complete their math gen-ed requirement. The curriculum is split between probability and linear algebra, according to the course description. The two parts of the course are tied together at the end with a unit on Markov chains, a common mathematical model in social science, business and science. Finite purports to be useful because it combines two fields that may be encountered across a variety of disciplines. Professor Ayelet Lindenstrauss, the math department’s director of undergraduate studies, said the course is designed to provide basic math skills that students will need later in life. She said students need to be prepared for whatever comes up in real life. Though well-intended, this approach fails to understand how students learn. Effective courses typically focus on one subject and build in complexity toward a final learning objective. Finite mathematics, however, is more like two different courses — probability and linear algebra — melded into one. The brief unifying link in Markov Chains is more appropriate as the capstone of 300-level linear algebra courses that math majors like me take. I’ve seen firsthand how

the transition from probability to linear algebra hinders students. They spend weeks understanding and becoming comfortable with a specific branch of mathematics. Then they are suddenly thrust back to square one in terms of content and understanding, and this demoralizing change of pace eliminates any momentum that math-averse students may have built. Moreover, finite’s primary practice mechanism is through WebWorks — the online math problem platform that generates problems for students. WebWorks features problems with numbers that often require a calculator to successfully finish the assigned work. Finite does not allow calculators on departmental exams. The use of a platform for homework that encourages, if not outright requires, calculators is a poor design choice for a class that does not allow technology on exams. For a class attempting to sell itself as relevant to a wide range of practical disciplines, it doesn’t make sense to divorce the material from the technology students will be using to apply it. Another problem is the private tutoring industry that has sprung up around the course. Private options create an imbalance between students with means and those without. Campus Tutoring Service, for example, features the “B or Better program,” in which students receive targeted tutoring that the company promises will achieve a high grade for the low price of $796. The company also offers individual sessions starting at $51.90 for nonmembers. Tutors include current students and even a retired IU mathematics education professor. IU does offer free resources, including group and walk-in tutoring, but the prevalence of private tutoring programs indicates a gap in math help on campus between available resources and student needs. Given how central the course is to graduating for many students, this financial advantage could have consequences for thousands of students. Lindenstrauss said students can also take finite over two semesters. But this is only a partial solution because it requires students to pay for more credit hours and potentially twice as much tutoring. When it comes to finite, it’s clear that the course simply isn’t cutting it for IU students. IU’s primary math gen-ed needs to be reworked as a better fit for students across all majors. casayers@iu.edu

Andrew Yang talks Dec. 5, 2019, with David Axelrod, an American political consultant and analyst, at the University of Chicago.

universal basic income of $1,000 a month for every American adult citizen with no strings attached. The Foundation for Economic Education writes that universal basic income has never been implemented on a scale like the United States, but it is one of the most ambitious plans to combat poverty and income inequality that has been proposed this campaign cycle. The idea of a UBI is far from new. Proposals for a UBI or something similar go back in the U.S. as far as the revolutionary author of “Common Sense,” Thomas Paine. Local experiments testing the success of a UBI occurred in Canada and parts of the U.S., including Indiana, in the 1970s. President Richard Nixon even proposed a UBI policy in 1969 with his Family Assistance Plan. While his campaign to become president has end-

ed, his proposition to institute a UBI hasn’t. The Washington Post reports that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have also stated they are open to the idea of creating a UBI policy. As the problem of wealth inequality increases in the U.S., Yang’s steadfast push to make a universal basic income a mainstream policy has been successful. A poll by Hill-HarrisX in September 2019 found that 49% of registered voters were in favor of a UBI policy. Davis Macke, a freshman at IU and a local Yang Gang organizer, was inspired by Yang’s campaign to join it as a volunteer so he could direct interested people toward information on how to get involved. “I was undecided when I stumbled upon Yang,” Macke said. “Two things caught my eye: his potential to unify the political divide in this nation and his em-

phasis on some real pertinent and pressing issues like AI, the tech race with China and job automation that no other politicians of either ideology seem to talk about.” When asked about Yang’s impression on American politics, Macke said he saw Yang as a breath of fresh air. “I think that people like how politically refreshing he is. He never attacks other candidates and has fun on the trail. As a result, I think that he has inspired America to be a little kinder.” In a moment in our nation’s history when national politics feels bitterly divisive and fragile, Yang offered a clear view of how to tackle some of the most important issues in our country today. Although he has stepped out of the presidential campaign, his ideas and policies will not. eskalman@iu.edu

Navajo chef to present cooking demonstration By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu

Freddie Bitsoie, a Diné (Navajo) chef and food educator, will present a cooking demonstration from 2-4 p.m. Wednesday at the Bookmarket Eatery, followed by a talk at 5:30 p.m. in the Solarium at the Indiana Memorial Union. Bitsoie is one of three chefs coming to campus for the Indiana Remixed festival for the Edible Indiana cooking demonstration series. Bitsoie is an executive chef at the Mitsitam Native Foods Café at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. In 2013, he won the museum’s Native Chef Competition. He is also a food educator who owns FJBits Concepts, a firm that specializes in Native American foodways, the consumption and production of food. He will cook five of his recipes and give samples to the audience. The food he will prepare Wednesday will be available as a meal for purchase at 3 p.m. at The Traveler in the Bookmarket Eatery. During his artist talk “Native American Foodways: A Chef’s Perspective,” Bitsoie will discuss his career, culinary influences and cultural expression through food. Both events are free and open to the public. Joe Hiland, associate director of the Arts and Humanities Council, said Bitsoie implements indigenous culinary traditions in a contem-

porary cooking space. This reflects a prominent theme of the Remixed festivals: mixing old traditions with new practices, Hiland said. “Virtually every world culture or regional U.S. culture defines itself by the food it eats, the food that people prepare,” Hiland said. “Indiana’s no exception.” Olga Kalentzidou, a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Geography, invited Bitsoie to speak in her Indiana Foodways class,

She said Bitsoie’s demonstration may show students a window into his identity through his cooking techniques. “I think it will be interesting for students to see how a particular person from the Navajo nation understands

the use of culinary practice in preserving one’s identity,” Kalentzidou said. Estefani Alcaraz Quevedo, an intern on the Arts and Humanities Council, helped plan Bitsoie’s cooking demonstration.

caraz Quevedo said. Kalentzidou said in the past, food was taken from disenfranchised groups to diminish their populations. She said some people say that when you control the food, you control the people. “Understanding someone’s identity through food is really important,” Kalentzidou said. “What marginalized communities are trying to do around the world is take back that power that food gives us.” One of the recipes Bitsoie will use in the presentation is a swamp cabbage salad. Swamp cabbage is from the Seminole tribe region, and non-native people know it better as hearts of palm. The salad is made with julienned red peppers, candied pecans and mixed greens, coated in a lemon vinaigrette. Another recipe is threebean ragout, a stew that incorporates cannellini, kidney and black beans. While ragout is a French stew, beans are a core part of Native American diets. Onion, garlic and thyme are cooked in a pot with olive oil, and then chicken or vegetable stock is added with the beans and simmered with other ingredients and seasonings until thickened. Other recipes feature prickly pear and squash, staple ingredients found in indigenous cuisines. Other key ingredients found in Native American cuisine include native corn, sumac and undomesticated animals such as fish, bison and wild deer.
