Counter-Terrorism and the Law WINTER 2009 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report Defending the Homeland: Counter-terrorism and the Law INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE WINTER ISSUE of the IU Law–Indianapolis Alumni Magazine and Dean’s Report. The fall semester has been a busy one at the law school, as this magazine attests. In the following pages, you will read about the groundbreaking counter-terrorism simulation that took place at the school in October as part of Professor Shawn Boyne’s Seminar in National Security Law. During the simulation, students played the roles of government officials responding to simulated terrorist attacks across the country and right here in Indianapolis. In January, WFYI, the local PBS affiliate, will air a documentary about this event. The magazine also includes information about the new legal clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, that our school has helped to establish and continues to support. I had the honor of visiting the clinic in October and am in awe of what has been accomplished there in a very short time. You will also read about and see photos of the recent Board of Visitors Reception at the school, hosted by law school alumnus, and former U.S. Vice President, Dan Quayle. We had a packed house for the event that brought many friends back to the school to visit and reminisce. I also want to take a moment to remember our beloved Professor Mary Harter Mitchell, whose sudden and untimely passing in November of this year leaves a tremendous void in our law school family. We include a tribute to Professor Mitchell in this magazine as well. You will also note that the issue incorporates our annual Dean’s Report, recognizing the generosity of those many individuals who support the school financially. We are grateful to our alumni and friends who help to make so many of our educational programs possible. We thank you for your ongoing support of the school and look forward to partnering with you in the coming year.

It is edited by Jonna Kane MacDougall, ’86 and Elizabeth Allington. The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) presented the 2009 Pride of CASE V Silver Award for the Best Student Alumni Programming to the IU School of Law–Indianapolis Alumni Association for “Operation L.A.W.S. (Law Alumni Working with Students).” Operation L.A.W.S. is a mock-interview program designed to prepare students for the transition into life after graduation and to introduce them to the variety of career paths available for today’s legal professionals. A special thank you to all alumni who volunteered and participated in the program! Congratulations to Danny Kibble, director of alumni programs, and Chasity Thompson, Assistant Dean for Professional Development, who created the program.

  • 2012 Platform Was Drafted After Soliciting Testimony from a Geographically Diverse Range of Hoosiers at Hearings in South Bend, New Albany and Indianapolis
    Preamble We've come a long way in a short time. With a focus and a commitment to serve Hoosier taxpayers, and not special interests, Indiana's Party of Purpose has enacted improvements that have made government smaller and more efficient, improved our state's economy, and ensured Indiana's Comeback continues to move full steam ahead. After years of government spending and debt, Republican leadership balanced the budget without raising taxes. At the same time, services have improved across the state. A leaner state government has actually improved quality. Our Bureau of Motor Vehicles is now a model for efficiency, moving customers through in 10 minutes or less. Major Moves has improved infrastructure by providing a decade worth of funding for projects around the state that had been promised and delayed for decades. Property taxes in Indiana are among the lowest in the nation, having been cut by 30 percent and capped permanently by the voters and by our State Constitution. Along the way, we have lived by a number of simple principles, but atop that list is the fact that Hoosiers know what's best for Hoosiers. We don't ask for, or want, the federal government to interfere with or dictate how we should live our lives. The improvements we have made, together, have come from within, from Hoosiers. We owe a debt of gratitude to Governor Mitch Daniels and Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman , our dynamic Hoosier duo, who have worked and led to make Indiana a better place to live, work and invest, alongside House Speaker Brian Bosma , Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and our majorities in the House and Senate.

Attention is focused on a request for an exemption under federal priority for recovering money owed the Association in the event that it files for liquidation or reorganization in the future under the Bankruptcy Act. It is noted that two goals of the Association are to provide a public service by assuring loan liquidity for student credit demands in the states, and to make a profit. Attention is directed to: the Association's organization, role, and activities; its performance,as a quasi-government entity; new expanded authority of the Association to include virtually all functions of the Guaranteed Student Loan Programs, and the question of whether it has an unfair advantage in the marketplace over others that are involved in similar types of activities.
