Tuition rates for the upcoming summer semester at all Indiana University campuses will be discounted 25 percent for resident undergraduate students and 9 percent for non-resident undergraduate students. The plan, which was decided by IU President Michael McRobbie, was announced on Oct. 24 and is set to help relieve students of financial stress. According to an IU press release, the plan will also help promote year-round college attendance and decrease the time it takes many students to earn a degree.

The Student Government Association held its State of the Student Body Address on Oct. 27 in The Commons at noon, where Josh Kornberg, communications senior and SGA president, discussed a range of topics. Kevin Evans, secondary education junior and SGA vice president, said the event started a little late because of some of the sponsors, and the cheerleaders were running behind. “Chick-fil-A is going to have their cow here,” Evans said. “We’re waiting for the dance team and the cheerleaders to show up, so we’re going to be slightly behind [schedule].”
