The statewide mask mandate is over on Tuesday. And while it comes during increased vaccine availability, there are still questions about how this might impact COVID-19 cases across Indiana. Today we ask an epidemiologist whether this decision was made too soo
We also hear from two state lawmakers who authored a bill that could expand Indiana’s rape statute. And we talk to a local leader and a university student about efforts to change how sexual assault cases are handled on campus.
