  • 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.

HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS - Mayor Bart Peter- son appears to be in the fight of his political life with the underfunded, Republican Greg Ballard despite the party hierarchy’s lack of interest in the race. An Indianapolis Star/WTHR poll showed Peterson with a 43-39 percent lead.

Bill Hudnut moved to Indianapolis in 1964 to become pastor of Second Presbyterian Church. In 1972, he began his political career with one term in the U.S. Congress and then became mayor of Indianapolis, serving from 1976 to 1992. Lugar reflected on his early political contacts with Hudnut, while Lugar was still Indianapolis’s mayor, and then commented extensively on Hudnut’s career as mayor, in par- ticular his plans for developing the city’s downtown area and transforming Indianapolis into the “amateur sports capital of the world.” KEYWORDS: William Hudnut III, Richard Lugar, Indianapolis, mayors, Republican Party, UNIGOV, Richard Nixon, Pan American Games, Indianapolis Colts ormer Indianapolis Mayor William H.

  • Taking Charge of Choice 1
    Taking Charge of Choice 1 Taking Charge of Choice: New Roles for New Leaders Claire Smrekar1, Ph.D. Madeline Mavrogordato, Doctoral Student Vanderbilt University May, 2011 Abstract: This paper examines the policy context of charter school adoption and implementation in Indianapolis -- the only city in the U.S. with independent mayoral authorizing authority. Our study identifies specific implications of this hybrid of mayoral control, including expanded civic capacity and innovation diffusion across Indianapolis area public school systems. This qualitative study utilizes over 30 in-depth interviews conducted with key stakeholders. Legislative, state, and school district documents and reports were analyzed for descriptive evidence of expanded civic capacity, school innovation, and charter/non- charter school competitive pressures. The case of Indianapolis reframes the mayoral role in education reform, and expands the institutional framework for charter school authorizing. Keywords: school choice, mayoral control, urban education reform 1 This was presented at the American Educational Research Association 2011 Annual Conference, April 7- 12, New Orleans, Louisiana.

HOWEY BLOOMINGTON - The question posed to both Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan and his Democratic primary challenger, John Hamilton was this: Is there a widespread detectable anti-incumbency sentiment stirring among the voters? The question came just less than five months after Hoosier voters expressed frustration by defeating two congressmen while Republicans increased their state Senate majority to 37 seats and the House went from 48 to 60 GOP seats. “I always run like I’m behind,” Kruzan told HPI, noting that party “regulars” like Sen- Bloomington Mayor Mark Kruzan during Tuesday’s joint appearance with primary ate Minority Leader Vi Simpson and State Rep. opponent John Hamilton.
