Knight might sue University

By Cory Schouten · Friday, March 9,2001 1:57 p.m.

A lawyer for former men's basketball coach Bob Knight sent a letter last week to inform IU that Knight intends to sue IU President Myles Brand and the board of trustees. Knight lawyer Russell Yates wrote that IU has caused Knight to suffer damages in excess of $7 million. After 29 years as coach, Knight was fired by Brand Sept. 10 for repeated violations of a "zero-tolerance" policy imposed by the University. The notice of intent to sue, obtained Thursday from the University, cites slander, libel, defamation and tortious interference with potential contracts, stemming from "wrongful termination." It also cites violations of Indiana's Open Door laws and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Precautions can protect against rape on spring break

By Mike Reed · Friday, March 9,2001 12:47 a.m.

A female student is on spring break. She's having a wild time and going to parties. She gets separated from her friends and accepts a drink a stranger offers her. The drink contains the drug GHB -- a colorless, tasteless and odorless drug that incapacitates the victim. She can see and hear, and she knows what is going on, but is too weak to resist. The stranger who offered her the drink drags her into a room and rapes her.

Senate to redraft budget plan

By Joseph S. Pete · Friday, March 9,2001 12:44 a.m.

State revenue fell $102.6 million short of projections for February, according to the Indiana State Budget Agency. The shortfall puts the nail in the coffin of the two-year, $21.1 billion budget passed by the Democrat-controlled House. The state Senate's top fiscal leader said his committee will craft a much leaner budget, which would mean less funding for K-12 and higher education.
