Dear Charlie,
Dear Trustees Harry Gonso, Melanie Walker, MaryEllen Bishop, Donna Spears and James Morris,
In the next two weeks, the IU Student Government Congress may bring to the floor two bills that will address multicultural representation. Constitutional Resolution No. 1 and Bylaws Amendment Bill No. 1007, co-authored by Rebekah Amaya, Brian Hancock and Lindsey Batteast, will allow for the entry of historically marginalized voices into IUSG’s Congress. The frameworks for these legislative proposals were constructed through insight gained in a monthslong process of collective meetings with concerned students from multicultural organizations such as Black Student Union, Latinos Unidos at IU, Asian American Association at IU, Muslim Student Association, Women of Color Leadership Institute and more.
The will to solve climate change is growing. In 2021, we'll face a historic opportunity to craft a bipartisan legislative solution at the national level. Students' participation in this process matters. Democracy really does work, and we can make a difference in what the United States chooses to do over the next few years.

President Donald Trump presided over one of the most robust economies in the history of the country and oversaw the fastest economic recovery in the nation’s history. Before the COVID-19 pandemic utterly devastated the U.S. economy, overall unemployment for U.S. workers was at a 50-year low and unemployment rates for Black and Hispanic people were at all-time lows. The country also experienced consistent and commendable economic growth from 2017-19, growing more than 2% each year. 2019 was also marked by record highs in the Dow Jones, Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 stock indices.
Last week’s Indiana Daily Student column, “OPINION: What you need to remember next time you talk to a Trump supporter,” embodies why the United States is so polarized.
I am writing in appreciation of recent articles in the IDS calling on IU to more boldly confront systemic racism and promote anti-racist education within our own organizational structures. I also want to clarify and correct one statement made in two recent opinion pieces on Sept. 13 and Oct. 6, stating that the budget of the Department of African American and African Diaspora studies has been reduced by a third since 2006.
As COVID-19 infection cases are on the rise across the country and negotiations for passing a second stimulus check have been dragging on, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, has found something apparently worth speed in the Senate.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been hunkering down at my childhood home in the solidly Democratic state of New Jersey. I don’t live in a swing state.
Dear editors,
Responding to the Sept. 14 opinion column, I disagree with the suggestion that President McRobbie “ignored student needs” and that such decision-making cost him his “legacy.”
Are we in a public health crisis?
The IDS published a story Sunday regarding the Bloomington Police Department not wearing face masks when dealing with the public as is mandated for employees and residents of the city of Bloomington by local and state officials.
President McRobbie,
Dear Professor Rasmusen,
Recent, public-facing issues have exposed Indiana Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, R-9th District, as a failure to his constituents, while Democratic challenger Andy Ruff has made a strong case for himself as a leader.
