Indiana University announced Friday that starting on March 4, masks will be optional across nearly all of the university’s campuses. IU noted that the “action will coincide with the anticipated expiration of state and county public health orders” and offered the surprising rationale that “COVID-19 cases [are] declining rapidly at IU and throughout the state” as a justification for their decision.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, one of Freeman’s executive branch nominees, all of whom must be confirmed by Congress, addressed the body, irate that she had been denied the position by the Student Life Committee.

Indiana basketball kicked off the week with a win over Eastern Michigan. Head coach Mike Woodson’s first career game starts on a high note, but perhaps not in the fashion he wanted. The Hoosiers led by 21 points at one time, but the Eagles came storming back to make it a two point game with under a minute left. Fortunately, Indiana was still able to squeak out a 68–62 win.

Saturday afternoon, facing another tough opponent from Ohio, the Hoosiers held a fourteen point lead, but mistake after mistake eventually led to a loss against #8 Cincinnati. The game changed dramatically after a questionable targeting call against star linebacker Micah McFadden on 3rd & 10. McFadden was ejected from the game due to the call and Cincinnati soon after scored a touchdown.

Unfortunately, Indiana fans know this feeling all too well. In 2017, the Hoosiers led at halftime over #2 Ohio State,

The Hoosiers’ performance in Bloomington was a stark contrast from the team’s showing in Iowa City. Indiana crushed the Idaho Vandals 56–14 Saturday and certainly showcased a remarkably different level of skill and talent than was shown during the embarrassing loss for Tom Allen and his squad the previous week.

As previously reported by The Crimson Post, Indiana University recently received a tremendous amount of pressure from students, faculty, and state government officials to reverse their decision to require all students and staff to submit documentation proving they had received the COVID-19 vaccine. IU officials subsequently dropped the documentation requirement, now mandating that students merely self-report their “vaccination status.” Students will also now be allowed to request medical and religious exemptions in accordance with state law. One IU student, Kendyll Pennington, started a petition for the university to reverse the mandate that, as of this writing, has roughly 12,000 signatures. The Crimson Post had the opportunity to speak with Pennington about what compelled her to start the petition and her feelings regarding IU’s latest decision.

On Tuesday, Indiana University notified students of changes in the school’s COVID-19 vaccine policy. Students will still largely be required to receive the vaccine before attending classes in the Fall, however, students may now request an exemption for religious or medical reasons or if they plan to be fully remote for the entirety of the semester. Students will also no longer be required to upload documentation proving they are fully vaccinated but will instead be allowed to simply attest that they received the vaccine. These changes come as the university faces mounting criticism from students, state legislators, and the Indiana Attorney General
