If elected governor, Democrat Jennifer McCormick wants change in Indiana’s education system.
In total, the Dunn Meadow encampment lasted 99 days. Or 100, if you’re being generous. Perhaps to prevent the scenes we saw in April, when 57 students were arrested, or perhaps because the number of students still here during the summer is so low, protesters didn’t intervene when the IU Police Department and facilities operations workers removed the tents for the final time. Now, a fence surrounds the meadow indefinitely as the university completes “extensive repairs,” and the future of the campus pro-Palestinian student movement remains uncertain.

I spent all summer saving up my money through my internship and working at my local farmers market, yet it all seems to escape quicker than I can make it. Over the past year, the fear of money has grown substantially. I spent months on the phone with Chase Bank due to errors regarding my debit card getting hacked five times and my credit card getting hacked once. They kept canceling my cards and sending new ones, but nothing was stopping the continuous charges on my accounts. The new technology to improve the hackers' abilities has made the world of money unsafe. I try to take every precaution to avoid places where my card could get hacked, but the internet is an unavoidable trap.
