The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is suing Indiana University in response to last week’s arrests during anti-war protests on the Bloomington campus.

As of Monday police had arrested 57 people, including many faculty and students. Several protesters said they were hit, kicked and placed in chokeholds. 

Indiana University president and provost issued an update as protests continue on campus. More than 33 students have been arrested amid faculty condemnation.

Cignetti expects the Hoosiers to make a bold statement in the expanding Big Ten, and he says they can do that by eliminating complacency in the program.

Two new studies from Indiana Universitys Center for Evaluation and Education Policy show many Indiana public schools are seeing lower enrollment. The studies authors say fewer students often equates to decreases in funding.
