Ball State Launches Controversial "First Day" Textbook Program

MUNCIE, Ind. - Starting this semester, Ball State University is launching "First Day," a textbook rental program that all students are opted-in to by default. The program costs $22.75 per credit hour, even if you don't have books for a class. While the university says the program offers "discounted, low-priced course materials on the first day of class," some students are questioning its value. "[Ball State University] is gonna charge me $100 more than what it would cost if I bought [my books] on my own," one student posted to the anonymous, student-only social media platform YikYak .

MUNCIE, Ind. - For over two years, Ball State University has run cover for and funded Israel in its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. For just as long, students of Ball State have fought to bring forth a popular university, where students control the university they pay for and keep their money out of the war machine. The University has met students’ efforts with apathy at best and open repression at worst. After months of protesting, calling, and emailing with no response, the Muncie chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) began a hunger strike on November 5th with simple demands: Meet with Students for Justice in Palestine; immediately divest from Israel and the genocide its committing; make Ball State’s investme...

Fatal shooting in MN fuels calls for ICE to scale back its presence

PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE - Federal officials face growing calls to end expanded activity by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minnesota after a protester was fatally shot Wednesday. Community activists said they remain committed to pursuing accountability but the consistent fear is having an effect. The Department of Homeland Security said a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis after her vehicle blocked a street where immigration enforcement was occurring. The agency labeled the woman's actions as "domestic terrorism," adding the officer who fired acted in self-defense. But city leaders, including Mayor Jacob Frey, said bystander videos show otherwise. Dieu Do, activist for the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, said it makes a bad situation worse. "It's a very harsh and scary reality that we're in right now," Do explained.
