Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns used his remarks at Ball State’s Board of Trustees meeting to address the concerns and complaints around Senate Bill 202, which was signed into law by Governor Eric Holcomb March 13th. The legislation, which will become effective July 1st, is intended to increase “intellectual diversity” in higher education across the state. The Daily News last week said Mearns addressed the critics and skeptics of SB-202 and said that some of their concerns are “not well-founded because they aren’t based on what is actually in SB-202,” which he also specifically told me on WMUN two weeks ago.

Rick Hall, chair of the Board of Trustees, said, “I am not troubled by this bill. It affirms a lot of our core beliefs, and I think we’ll continue to thrive.”
