McRobbie delivers State of the University “As we prepare for Indiana University’s third century of service, our mission must be — as it has always been — to confirm our traditions of excellence in our fundamental missions of education, research and service, and by doing so, ensure that Indiana University will be a leader among the great universities of the 21st century.” Michael McRobbie, IU president

President Michael McRobbie gave the annual State of the University speech Wednesday. McRobbie discussed the past year and future goals for IU. He also talked about the freshmen in IU’s bicentennial class of 2020. IU will be celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2020. The University was founded four years after the founding of the state of Indiana, the bicentennial of which is
this year. McRobbie shared the story of IU’s 10th President William Lowe Bryan, who was president during IU’s 100th anniversary. “He was, indeed, the greatest academic builder in IU’s history,” McRobbie said. “During his time in office we saw the establishment successively of schools in medicine, graduate studies, education, social work, nursing, business, music and dentistry.” SEE UNIVERSITY, PAGE 6

MEN’S SOCCER
2-0
Hoosiers get job done in Ann Arbor By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu | @JoshEastern
Playing on the road is never an easy task, and the first time in a season can be a bit unsettling. It was a contested match with physical play throughout as three total yellow cards were handed out along with 19 fouls, but it was nothing No. 3 IU hasn’t seen this season. The referee was put in some questionable positions, but the Hoosiers battled on. The match may not have been pretty, nor was it their best-played match, but IU pulled out a 2-0 win Wednesday night in Ann Arbor over Michigan. The game started off quite slow with both teams feeling each other out, but IU was ready to strike midway through the first half, led by junior forward Rashad Hyacenth. Tanner Thompson, of course, can’t be forgotten. He was in there pulling the strings as he always does, but it was Hyacenth who was the main catalyst of the IU attacks. When the Hoosiers finally got on the board, the Belmont transfer was the man to set it all up. Indiana’s moment didn’t come until the 27th minute, when Hyacenth ripped a shot on goal that Michigan goalkeeper Evan Louro couldn’t smother. It ended up falling to senior defender Billy McConnell, who was there at the goal line, to put the ball in the back of the net. The goal didn’t come without consequence, however, as a Michigan defender stepped on the ankle of McConnell, ending his night as he hobbled off the pitch. As this team is well-equipped with their next-man-up mentality, Rece Buckmaster stepped up and finished the match, along with redshirt sophomore Cory Thomas. Thomas got a good run of play on that right side vacated by McConnell. The Wolverines would’ve answered back in the 36th minute if not for a diving save from Colin Webb in goal for the Hoosiers.

Sustaining a community Big Red Eats Green food festival highlights sustainability and nutrition in Bloomington By Brielle Saggese | bsaggese@indiana.edu | @briellesaggese
S
tudents’ regimented routes to class Wednesday afternoon took an interesting turn when the pathway before them transformed into a world of all things green. The sidewalks surrounding the IU Eskenazi Museum of Art flooded with the color — from a bike that, when pedaled, blended green smoothies to a woman eating wild plantain straight from the grass at her feet. The Big Red Eats Green food festival was open to anyone with a passion for nutritional sustainability and a desire to greenify Bloomington by whatever means they saw fit. “I hope this just makes students think
about their food choices more,” said Carissa Marks, senior and organizer of the event. “That’s the first step to changing perceptions and getting involved in the food aspect of living on campus and being a responsible consumer.” As the food-working intern for the Office of Sustainability, Marks invited a diverse selection of local restaurants, organizations, charities and academic programs to participate in the festival and represent the spectrum that is Bloomington’s sustainability. Each booth contributed one step that a morsel of food might take to be considered sustainable. From its planting and preparation to its distribution
and disposal, the entire process could be mapped out to track a piece of kale’s journey through Bloomington. After the Big Red Eats Green food festival ended at 3 p.m., the event transitioned into Big Red Eats Global, which Marks said was a new addition for the year. During this time, Indiana Memorial Union chefs worked with international students and organizations to cook worldly foods with sustainable, local ingredients. But with so many accounts of environmentally conscious nutrition, the festival also posed differing views of how both the campus and the city should better its sustainable practices. For IU, sustainability is defined as a “balance between environmental health, economic prosperity and social equity,” according to the Office of Sustainability website. SEE GREEN, PAGE 6

ITT Technical Institute Educational Services shuts down campuses By Katelyn Haas haask@umail.iu.edu | @kaas96
Hoosier students around Indiana are being taken care of, despite ITT Technical Institute’s national shutdown. Gov. Mike Pence has directed the Commission for Higher Education and Department of Workforce Development to work together to help now-displaced students move forward in their educational programs, according to a CHE press release published Tuesday. ITT Educational Services Inc.
closed its doors after the U.S. Department of Education took a series of actions to protect students and taxpayers by banning ITT from enrolling new students using federal financial aid funds. The DOE placed conditions on ITT including enrollment restrictions, disclosures of the institute’s lack of accreditation with the department and informing the department of any significant financial or oversight events, including violations of existing loan agreements or financial losses within a set period of time.

campuses in 38 states and enrolls students in online programs nationwide. Last year, the institution reported almost $850 million in total revenue, roughly $589 million of which was sourced from federal aid dollars. The institution was the subject of multiple state and federal investigations, according to a DOE press release. “When we allow institutions to participate in federal student aid programs, they are obligated to responsibly manage those funds,” said Ted Mitchell, U.S. under secretary of educa-
tion, in the release. “More importantly, we trust they will act in good faith and in the best interests of students.” Since these restrictions have been placed, ITT Tech announced the shutdown of all ITT Tech campuses last Tuesday. This leaves many students removed from their current educational program. But these students aren’t alone. With Gov. Pence’s announcement, leaders from Ivy Tech Community College, SEE ITT, PAGE 3
