Trustee election to be decided Friday

The board of trustees' open seat will be filled shortly from one of seven candidates vying for incumbent trustee Cora Breckenridge's seat. The voting is in the hands of the 481,000 IU alumni who received their ballots in May. Votes tallied on Friday afternoon will provide quick turn around, with the new trustee term beginning the next day.\nDetermining the winner will be difficult before votes are counted because there are no exit polls and only a small portion of ballots are typically returned. Last year less than 32,000 valid votes were cast. \nAlumni can still vote in person at Herman B Wells Library from 9 a.m. until Friday afternoon. Candidates include Trina S. Miller of Granger, Ind., Philip N. Eskew, Jr. of Carmel, Ind., Steve Sanders of Chicago, Carolyn Louise Jordan of Gary, Steven Lloyd Kellam of Carmel, Ind. and Chris Sautter of Washington, D.C. \nVisit idsnews.com for updates during the weekend.
