LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Of the 8,000 on-arrival COVID-19 tests conducted at IU-Bloomington before the semester began, roughly 1% came back positive. By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

IU reported Tuesday a 0.91% positivity rate of more than 30,000 students tested for COVID-19 on arrival across the IU-Bloomington, IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, IU-South Bend and IUSoutheast New Albany campuses. The Bloomington campus reported Wednesday that of 8,000 on-arrival tests, roughly 1% came back positive. According to the press release, 39,246 total tests have been administered, but only 32,002 have been processed so far, leaving more than 7,000 students without a test result as on-campus classes began Monday. IU announced plans to release a public dashboard for testing data similar to what the University of Notre Dame has used. That dashboard has not yet been released. The school is now transitioning to conduct more than 10,000 weekly tests of students, faculty and staff. Test subjects have been selected randomly beginning this week. Those selected will receive an email. IU plans to test people multiple times throughout the semester. "We're confident that the round-the-clock mitigation testing that we are now initiating -which too few organizations our size have the ability or willingness to manage — along with symptomatic testing and robust contact tracing and isolation, gives us the best chance to keep us all together on our campuses," Dr. Aaron Carroll, IU's director of surveillance and mitigation for the COVID-19 pandemic, said in the release.

IU has started to randomly select students to test for COVID-19. What happens if you test positive?

IU began random testing to screen for COVID-19 this week. Some students have already been contacted via email to appear for testing. Here is what happens to IU students who test positive for COVID-19 or are identified as coming into close contact with someone who has. Once a student tests positive for COVID-19, an IU staff member will conduct an interview over the phone with them to begin contact tracing. These contact tracers have been trained by the university over the past several months to efficiently monitor the spread of the virus. The staff will use phone calls and text messages to reach out to any contacts identified as being at risk. Both on-and off-campus students who test positive will still be asked to monitor and report their symptoms to the university through the Twistle app. In the event where one’s symptoms should worsen, the app will alert an IU Health nurse who will follow up with the patient. Kirk White, the co-chair of the Bloomington campus COVID-19 response unit, said the university is conducting random testing so it can continue to observe infection rates.

Nursing student Ericka Alvarez hands a testing supply kit to an incoming student Aug. 18 near Memorial Stadium. Several nursing students helped work the stations for the on-arrival COVID-19 testing.

Students will be asked to either quarantine or isolate themselves based on their situation. Students will quarantine if they have been exposed to COVID-19 and are still awaiting results, while those who have tested positive will be asked to selfisolate. In both situations, students will keep a distance from others by living in a secluded space and having meals delivered. On-campus students will be instructed to check into Ashton Center in the central neighborhood to isolate or quarantine. Students who are quarantining will reside in a separate building within Ashton. Students are eligible to return to campus on a caseby-case basis. People in

quarantine can move back to their dorms once they get a negative test and it has been 14 days since they were exposed to the virus with no symptoms. If they test positive or show symptoms, they move to isolation, according to White. Students in isolation can leave 10 days after their first symptoms appeared as long as their health is improving and they have not recorded a fever in the previous 24 hours. If the student never had symptoms but tested positive, they must isolate for at least 10 days following their test. If a student, on- or offcampus, is ever unsure about the next steps to take SEE POSITIVE, PAGE 4

BPD defends not wearing masks on the job Officers don't have to wear masks outside or alone in their cars, a spokesperson said. By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

Despite state and local mask mandates, a Bloomington police spokesperson said officers do not have to wear masks when working outside, while alone in their patrol vehicles or if they need to “take quick action.” Monroe County’s mask mandate, which has been in effect for more than a month, requires people to wear a face covering if they’re not at home or in outdoor situations where physical distancing of at least 6 feet isn’t possible. Growing research shows wearing face coverings is one of the most effective ways to slow the spread of COVID-19. But police have been widely documented not wearing masks across the country, especially when patrolling large racial justice protests throughout the summer. Gov. Eric Holcomb's mask mandate does not specifically say whether law enforcement officers are exempt. A Bloomington spokesperson declined to comment. IU senior Patrick Saling was walking around near Third Street

and North Indiana Avenue early Friday morning when he saw police arresting a young man who appeared to be intoxicated. Saling, an activist who works with local services for people experiencing homelessness, started recording. He said he videos police whenever he sees them interacting with the public. Saling challenged one officer, who was sitting alone in his cruiser, on whether he wears a mask while transporting people who have been arrested. The officer said he doesn’t wear a mask because he doesn’t like it. “If it makes you feel better, that’s fine,” the officer can be heard saying in the video. “I’m just saying, it’s not prohibiting you from getting coronavirus.” Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo said questioning the officer violated Indiana law that prevents people from interfering with a law enforcement officer while they’re working. “It is very clear that the person who sent the video was attempting to bait the officers involved into a confrontation,” Pedigo said in an email.

Bloomington Police Department officers are seen arresting a citizen Aug. 21 while not wearing face coverings.

In another video from the same night, an unmasked officer administered a sobriety test to a man sitting in the police car, talking to him from less than 6 feet away. A second officer, who wore a face covering, stood to the side. The man blew, and after trying incorrectly, the officer demonstrated how to take the test, blowing air toward the

man in the car. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that spreads via droplets traveling through the air. It primarily spreads person to person. So when police interact with young people — who’ve been seen at crowded parties without masks over the past week — they could be exposed to virus droplets before moving on to the next call. Because police encounter multiple people each day, including people experiencing homelessness who might not have access to face coverings, they could drive the spread of the coronavirus, Saling said. “The police officers are going to be the interlocutors, or the in between, between our marginalized communities that we know are particularly vulnerable through this virus and the folks that their privilege allows them to disregard the risks of this virus,” he said. Saling had seen police not wearing masks earlier this month and in April, so he wasn’t surprised to see them again this week. “It’s frustrating,” Saling said. “It’s infuriating.”

A group of about 50 graduate students gathered Monday morning in Dunn Meadow to protest inadequate pay and the increased risks graduate workers face due to the coronavirus. Protesters chanted slogans over speakers, supporting better pay and treatment for graduate students, each masked and socially distanced to allow for pandemic safety. They said they have not seen an increase in their living wage even in the face of the pandemic. “We do just as much work as anybody else,” said Nathan Schmidt, a graduate student in the Department of English. Organizers created the protest with safety guidelines in mind,with flags spacing out masked protesters and Zoom links available for anyone who could not attend. “We made sure that there was enough space to actually spread out everybody,” said Mallika Khanna, a graduate worker at The Media School and media liaison for the protest. They were also protesting to avoid fees usually associated with undergraduate workers. Schmidt said graduate students teach and grade for classes at the university and shouldn't be subject to the same fees as undergraduates. The disparities seen among graduate workers stretch back to before the pandemic. “I’ve been here for about five years, and I haven't seen a pay rise,” Ph.D. student Pallavi Rao said.

IU uses new systems to make move in safer By Avraham Forrest ahforres@iu.edu | @Avraham_Forrest

Many different accommodations have been made to allow for a socially-distanced semester at IU, which include new rules for moving thousands of students and their belongings into IU residence halls. IU broke down move in to smaller groups by working with students to establish move-in dates that work for both the university and the families. In the past, between 5,000 and 7,000 students have moved in over the course of two days. This year, move in happened over several days, with about 1,000 students moving in each day, Leftwich said. Less day-to-day density allowed for more services to help students, such as movers. “We loved that somebody came and met us at the door,” Tammy Mosely, mother of freshman Amber Mosely said. Leftwich said IU partnered with Soft Touch Moving & Storage Co. and used staff members in golf carts to help students move in swiftly. “Having that extra staff available to help move in is something that our parents are really appreciative of,” Leftwich said. While this move-in method can be effective, there were some drawbacks. Leftwich said finding times that are available for families during the week can be challenging due to families having jobs and other responsibilities outside of the weekend. Residential Programs and Services has allowed students to cancel their housing contracts without a

fee if they decide not to attend college. The deadline for this choice has been moved twice, causing many more students to reconsider where they are living and if they wish to go to school this year at all. The final deadline was August 8. Many students requested the deadline to change so

they could know how many classes had moved online, and as students dropped roommates and re-evaluated what costs they could and couldn’t shoulder, it led to a shifting puzzle that RPS had to solve, causing delays in assignments, Leftwich said. Students who chose to live on campus found certain spaces shuttered and

many communal areas closed. RPS decided to close parts of areas in the residence halls including kitchenettes, common rooms and libraries to account for social distancing, Leftwich said. With many other colleges moving online, some freshmen are packing lighter, ex-

pecting to have to move out again soon. “I didn’t pack a lot of clothes for the winter,” freshman Amber Mosley said. Not every student can easily move out, such as Sanchita Ahuja, a junior from New Delhi, India. IU is working to make an appeals process for those who cannot move home if campus

shuts down. Ahuja has tested positive for COVID-19 and is unsure where she will be this semester. She may have to move back to India when the campus closes after Thanksgiving. “It’s really scary not knowing where I’ll be in three months,” Ahuja said.

IUSG Congress approves $164,709 budget proposal By David Wolfe Bender benderd@iu.edu | @dbenderpt

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The Indiana Statehouse is located in downtown Indianapolis. Twenty-five out of 50 seats in the Indiana Senate and 100 seats in the Indiana House of Representatives are on the ballot for the Nov. 3 election.

Indiana General Assembly breakdown By Luzane Draughon luzdraug@iu.edu | @luzdraughon

Elections for the 25 out of 50 seats in the Indiana Senate and 100 seats in the Indiana House of Representatives will take place Nov. 3. The Indiana Senate and Indiana House of Representatives make up the Indiana General Assembly, the bicameral legislative branch of the state of Indiana. The legislative branch works with the governor to create laws and a state budget. Both meet in the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis. The Indiana state legislature also draws congressional and state legislative district lines after the completion of the United States census. The governor can veto proposed district lines. This year is a census year, so candidates elected this year will draw district lines that will exist for 10 years. State legislators also make decisions that directly affect communities. Hoosiers can research the candidates running in their legislative districts to stay up to date before heading

to the voting booth or mailing in a ballot this November. Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb rescheduled the state's primary election from May 5 to June 2 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Both major political parties canceled in-person conventions in favor of moving forward virtually. Senators in Indiana’s General Assembly serve for four years with no term limit, while representatives serve for two years with no term limit. Indiana has had a Republican trifecta since 2011, meaning the party controls the majority of both the Senate and the House as well as the governorship, according to ballotpedia. Before November 2010, the Indiana House of Representatives had a majority of Democrats, so control of the General Assembly was divided between the two parties. There are currently 40 Republicans and 10 Democrats in Indiana’s state Senate. There are 66 Republicans and 33 Democrats along with 1 vacant seat in the Indiana House of Rep-

resentatives. According to Indiana Code, vacancies in the Indiana General Assembly are filled by appointment from the state committee of the political party of the last incumbent or by special election if the last incumbent was an Independent. Eighteen Republican incumbents are running for reelection in the Indiana state Senate, two of whom are uncontested. Five Democratic incumbents are running, all of whom are uncontested. In the House there are 62 Republican incumbents running for reelection with 16 uncontested and 30 Democratic incumbents with 12 uncontested. Democrat Ronald Saunders III is running against Republican Scott Baldwinin Senate District 20. Neither candidate is an incumbent for the position, meaning this race does not favor an individual of a certain party. Saunders’ campaign plans to focus on education, healthcare, police reform, equal rights, infrastructure, cannabis legalization and gun sense.

Baldwin’s platform revolves around protecting individual rights, creating jobs, balancing the budget and holding the line on taxes. Republican Victoria Spartz is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District against Democrat Christina Hale and Libertarian Ken Tucker. The Democrat Pam Dechert is running against Republican Chris Jeter in the 88th House District. This seat was open for the first time in 30 years because Republican Brian Bosma retired in July, according to the Indy Star. Jeter won the Republican primary in the district in June and is filling in for the remainder of Bosma’s term up until the November election. Jeter’s campaign focuses on his plan to create opportunities for growth and development in the community. Dechert’s campaign wants to improve public education and health, the economy, the environment and more.

IU Student Body Congress has approved a budget proposal that will provide $30,000 to create a COVID-19 assistance fund. That fund is a part of a $164,709 total appropriation for IUSG’s 2021 fiscal year, according to a document released to the IDS last week. The 2021 fiscal year’s budget is significantly larger than budgets of past years. The 2018-19 budget estimated $30,963 worth of expenses. This year’s budget appropriations are more than five times that, at almost $164,709. “We’ve created a whole new COVID task force within IUSG,” Student Body President Rachel Aranyi said. “We want to make sure that students are aware of what’s happening at the university. We want to analyze their policies, both from a public

health angle, but also from an academic angle, to make sure that we are supporting students through this difficult time.” Another significant portion of the budget includes salaries for IUSG staff, something Aranyi said is long overdue. “Pretty much every other Big Ten university pays their student government,” she said. “In the past, IU student government representatives have received some form of compensation. In the past few years, that has not happened.” This year will also mark the first time that IUSG has a chief technology officer in the executive branch, Aranyi said. Student Body Vice President Ruhan Syed said compensating student government officials will contribute SEE BUDGET, PAGE 3

How you can use Wells Library this fall be quarantined for three days once handled by a patron, Dallis-Comentale said, which means the materials requested might not be readily available.

By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @WeiWangDavid23

Starting Aug. 24, Herman B Wells Library will operate with new hours and modify student access to services and study spaces, according to IU Libraries’ website. Hours Wells Library’s limited access hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. The library is closed on Saturdays. Students are able to reserve seats in the library this semester. However, not all seats will be available for reservation throughout these hours. Diane Dallis-Comentale, associate dean for planning and administration at IU Libraries, said these hours are based on data for the hours with highest library use and the campus schedule of classes. Seat reservation All East Tower floors will be closed except for the Scholars’ Commons on the first floor. The Scholars’ Commons and West Tower floors will be open but only for reserved socially-distanced seating. Power outlets are not guaranteed for all seats, according to the library website. Group study will not be allowed or available for reservation, and all collaboration rooms will be singleperson study rooms. Students can reserve specific seats online for one to three hours in both Wells Library and other available campus study spaces up to one week in advance. The library will send an email confirmation, with which students can check into their seats with library staff. Dallis-Comentale said stu-

dents will be limited to one reservation per library per day. She said 500 reserved seats will be available in Wells Library during the first few weeks of the fall semester, down from roughly 2,000 in pre-pandemic operations. Dallis-Comentale said the limited number of seats is for maintaining social distancing. The library might increase seating if it can find ways to do so while still keeping students socially distant, she said. “We want there to be something normal about this fall, and we’re hoping that coming in the library at least makes people feel like something that’s regular,” she said. “We want to do this right for people, but we have to do it safely.” Arriving at Wells Library With the south entrance under construction, students can only enter through the north entrance or the south patio entrance on the ground floor. Stu-

dents will need to show their email reservation confirmations to student employees from the Healthy Operations Support Team. Waiting seats are available in the lobby for students who arrive before their reservation times. HOST members are located in front of the East and West Tower entrances and near the elevators on the ground floor. They show the way to the reserved seats and are responsible for patrolling library spaces to help students and ensure safe practices. Safety measures All students are required to wear a mask for the entire duration at their reserved study spaces, including the single-person enclosed study rooms. For this reason, no food will be allowed in the library. In line with IU Dining’s policies for the 2020-21 school year, no dine-in will be available, but grab-and-go meal pickup can be purchased at the

Bookmarket Eatery. Students are also responsible for cleaning their own spaces or workstations before and after use, which Dallis-Comentale said is because of a lack of cleaning staff. However, she said wipes, hand sanitizers and other cleaning supplies will be available all over the library. Library cleaning staff will do a deep cleaning of the library spaces every night, she said. Only two people are allowed in each of the Wells Library elevators at the same time, according to the library website. Requesting materials Although library stacks are closed, members of the IU community can still request physical library materials by submitting a delivery request through the Indiana University Library Catalog (IUCAT) or visiting the Scholars' Commons Circulation desk. All library materials will

Learning commons Most of the services available at the Learning Commons on the first floor of West Tower, such as Writing Tutorial Services and research assistance at the Research Desk, will be virtualonly in the fall semester, according to its website. Peer tutoring will not be available during the fall semester, and the CrimsonCard Office will close but will still be available at the Indiana Memorial Union. The UITS Support Center is available by appointment only. “It’s about creating the safest and best environment we can give,” Learning Commons librarian Meredith Knoff said. IU sophomore Kelvin Giang used to go to Wells Library’s West Tower frequently for group studies with his friends and group project members. He said because of the new measures for the fall semester at Wells Library, he might have to do group study in off-campus apartments at his friends’ places or meet people at local restaurants. Due to the three-hour reservation limit per day, he said he might stay in his own apartment to complete individual work. Michelle Crowe, IU Libraries director of communications, said adjusting to the new semester can be challenging, but said IU Libraries is there to help students. “We are offering virtual help through chat, text and email,” she said. “We also hope to communicate that we will all need patience as we get started.”

to a more equitable environment within IUSG. “There are a lot of socioeconomic barriers to joining IUSG,” Syed said. “We expect a minimum of 10 hours for our directors. I am lucky enough that I am in the financial position to make that commitment, but there are other viable candidates out there who could be doing the same job as me who might have to work to support their family.” Aranyi and Syed will both be given a stipend of $3,000. Elected officers and committee chairs in the Congress will be given a $250 stipend, with the Speaker earning $1,500. Other expenses for IUSG include a revamped marketing budget. Syed said this was critical. “The IUSG brand has disappeared from the studentside over the past few years,” he said. “It’s really investing to build the brand back out, making sure that we are visible on campus.” Aranyi said technology goes hand-in-hand with marketing. “Due to recent developments with COVID, it’s imperative that we leverage our technology to be able to communicate with students,” she said. “We really want to focus on digital outreach. We want to build our tech department.” One of the new COVID- 19 task force’s co-chairs is junior Salil Gupta. He saidin the upcoming weeks and months, they will work to decide how these funds are used. “The way that I see it working out is us sitting on the university committee and liaising between them and student government,” Gupta said. “We want to see how we can best allocate our funds that have been earmarked for COVID relief. We don’t want to undermine their efforts, but hopefully they have some input on that.”

New Title IX policy takes effect, inciting concern By Natalie Gabor natgabor@iu.edu | @natalie_gabor

The new U.S. Department of Education Title IX guidelines detailing how universities should respond to sexual assault took effect Aug. 14. The Department of Education announced the rulings May 6, and universities were given just more than three months to be in compliance. The changes to the Title IX policy include allowing witnesses to be cross-examined by both the plaintiff and defense and requiring only assaults that happen on campus to be tried. Offcampus assaults fall under the IU Student Code of Conduct, but not the Title IX regulations released by the government. The guidelines also characterize sexual assault more narrowly than previous guidelines by now defining it as “any unwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would find so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive.” Title IX is the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex. Under the Obama administration, Title IX required schools to “take prompt and effective steps to end the harassment, prevent its recurrence, and, as appropriate, remedy its effects.” IU’s definition includes other forms of discrimination on the basis of ethnic-

ity, gender expression and national origin among others. Although the new Title IX guidelines do not strip any of IU’s existing policies, the new definition of assault applies. Senior Anna Colosi is the Membership Chair for Safe Sisters, an IU Panhellenic organization trained to listen, validate and support survivors of sexual assault. She said the new Title IX regulations can potentially cause more harm to survivors looking to report assault. “It seems like the description of what they’re counting is a lot more intense almost, like it has to be extremely bad to actually do anything about it,” Colosi said. “It’s less stopping it before it happens and more reacting to what has happened.” Emily Springston, university director of institutional equity and official Title IX coordinator, said although these changes were long-awaited, the time frame given to universities by the Trump administration to implement them was short. “I think certainly they wanted to get these regulations out the door and established before they could be in a window in which they could be challenged by any change of administration,” Springston said.

protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd and restrictions to physical gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic, Springston said the Title IX changes has not received much attention. However, she said this encouraged the office to go further to protect students. “Frankly, in light of some of what’s been going on, it’s one of the reasons why we looked to make sure that our discrimination and ha-

rassment procedures were easily found and identifiable,” Springston said. “We decided that if we’re going to revise this policy, we’re going to speak to all forms of discrimination prevention.” Though language surrounding Title IX can be confusing, Springston said she wants students to know they do have options should they experience sexual assault and all forms of sexual violence are not OK at IU.

Because Title IX only regulates discrimination on the basis of sex, the IU Student Code of Conduct also addresses other forms of discrimination such as race, ethnicity or religion. However, some students believe IU still hasn’t done enough. Recent graduate Ellie Johnson is the founder and president of Shatter the Silence, an independent community-based organization aimed at preventing sexual assault, advocating for sur-

vivors and holding local institutions accountable. Shatter the Silence differs from resources regulated by the university in that it allows survivors a thirdparty option to report sexual assault while still holding the university accountable. Johnson said creating this reporting system was her biggest accomplishment since founding the organization. Johnson said regardless of federal policies, universities should be obligated first to their students, even though doing so is not directly to their benefit. “They are required to follow these federal policies but, in my opinion, IU has a greater responsibility to students to stand up to doing what’s right,” she said. “So no matter how low the federal government goes, IU needs to go high.” Johnson said if students feel the university is not doing enough for sexual assault survivors, Shatter the Silence and other independent organizations are good resources. “Federal, state, local and institutional policies are not the end all be all,” she said. “In theory, our rights are protected, but in the real world that’s not always the case. And regardless of what the policies or institutions say, you still have a right to your body and an education free from violence.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 in their situation, they are recommended to reach out through the IU Health Portal for medical advice. The buildings are equipped with staff members and rooms to accommodate up to 563 students. White said there are students already isolated in the center but estimates there are only around 30 people at this time. “These are students, for the most part, that arrived on campus and tested posi-

tive as they arrived before they checked into residence halls,” White said. Off-campus students and faculty are instructed to follow CDC quarantine and isolation guidelines but will not be asked to check in to Ashton since it was designed to provide for oncampus residents only. Freshmen living in residence halls are expected to have a packed bag ready in case they should be transferred to Ashton to quarantine. While each Ashton resident will receive towels and scrubs, they are

expected to bring clothing, personal toiletries and school work. A full list of items the university recommends packing can be found here. Students at Ashton will have access to laundry facilities and food delivery options. They may receive any packages sent to the Ashton center desk, but no guests are permitted. IU does not currently disclose how many students have been moved to Ashton, but is planning to release the COVID-19 testing statistics in the future.

White said the university may also include Ashton occupancy statistics in that data, but no plans have been solidified. Freshman Ben Mercier said he wants to know how many beds are occupied in Ashton at all times so he can plan and avoid having to scramble to return home in an emergency situation. “I would like to know because I don’t want to be told ‘Oh, you have to pack up and get out tomorrow,’” Mercier said. “Having at least an idea if we’re going back soon or not would be

nice.“ Currently, IU does not have other spaces for oncampus students to quarantine or isolate. If needed, White said the university could also inquire about using hotel properties. “That additional space could be needed for other groups like greek housing,” White said. “They might be faced with a situation where they don’t have enough quarantine and isolation space at their house.” Students will also have the option to quarantine or isolate themselves in their

hometowns if they can be picked up from campus. If a student can leave campus on the day he or she has tested positive or was identified as a close contact, they may not need to check into Ashton. Freshman James Malony said the idea of abruptly leaving his dorm is a bit daunting but still thinks it’s a better alternative than going back home. “It is kind of scary,” Malony said. “I might have been doing everything right and still have to get sent to some dorm.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Simon Luo, a Ph.D. candidate, said in addition to mandatory fees, international graduate workers have to pay international fees, which have increased each semester. International graduate workers can work in campus facilities such as libraries, but these hours are often limited, Luo said. He said visa limitations only allow graduate workers to work at these on-campus facilities for 20 hours per week. Luo said without the money to sustain themselves and their families, international graduate workers cannot make enough to stay in the country. He said international workers face difficulties with visa renewal and working in their home countries, and IU legally cannot pay employees who are not in the country. The group used the protest as a platform for these testimonials, relying on the large amount of graduate workers as a base. Melson said the group has a committed base of about 50 organizers and a membership base of 1,600 graduate workers on campus.

Baker makes cakes for donations to mutual aid groups By Katharine Khamhaengwong kkhamhae@iu.edu | @katharinegk

Dev Montanez loves to bake, but found baking for money at their former job as an employee of local vegan establishment Rainbow Bakery unfulfilling. The Bloomington resident said while they didn’t have a problem working there, baking for money wasn’t enjoyable. Since beginning a nonbaking job in March, Montanez has been baking cakes, donuts and other sweets in exchange for donations to mutual aid groups and other local organizations. Montanez has baked 25 cakes in exchange for donations so far, raising about $1,200 for organizations such as Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard and Black Lives Matter Bloomington. “I wanted to continue to bake, but more on my terms and more aimed at anticapitalist ideals,” Montanez said. “It’s now more to celebrate a person rather than being a transaction.” Each cake is unique, using ingredients ranging from gummy worms to edible flowers and foraged berries. Their favorite creation so far, an elderflower cake with lemon curd and elderflower swiss meringue, was made for one of the owners of the now-deceased local celebrity cat Lil Bub. People can submit a

commission request on Montanez’s website, outlining the type of cake they’re looking for. Then, they send Montanez screenshots of their donation, though Montanez said on the website they’re also happy to make a cake for unemployed or furloughed people without a donation. There is a short list of suggested organizations on the commission page, which includes food justice organizations such as Btown Food Not Bombs, housing issues groups including Hotels for Houseless, and BLM Bloomington. However, Montanez said they don’t want to dictate where people choose to donate, as long as the groups are mutual-aid oriented or local rather than large nonprofits Montanez said they learned to bake from a friend whose mother was a cake decorator. This experience of baking together showed Montanez baking should be celebratory instead of something done for money. “I really just wanted to do this to help people celebrate each other in this really hard time," they said. Kamila, an IU geography student who preferred to use only her first name, ordered her cake during the protests in Minneapolis, so she donated to Reclaim the Block, a Minneapolis organization that advocates for defunding the police. She described Mon-

tanez's cakes as cute and delicious, such as a chocolate “dirt” pudding cake with crushed Oreo cookies and gummy worms. “The things they’re doing right now are great. It’s a really great way to raise money and they’re an amazing baker,” Kamila added. Elizabeth Sullivan, who works for IU’s Center for the Exploration of Energy and Matter, said she’s donated to the Hoosier Hills Food Bank in exchange for Montanez’s cakes a few times. Sullivan has received a wheat olive oil cake with fruit compote and a carrot cake with raisinsand nuts. She said she planned to order more. “Especially right now, because of COVID and how things are really bleak that we’re all living through, getting a cake or sweet thing without an occasion can really lift your spirits,” she said. “Especially since it’s for a good cause.” All of the cakes are vegan, even though Montanez is not. They said vegan baking is often easier and less wasteful than conventional baking. When Montanez receives tips or direct payments, they send the money to Project Pink Bloc, a Bloomington collective of sex workers and others working on mutual aid and harm reduction. This wasn’t Montanez’s first time baking for a cause. In 2012, they helped organize Combatting Latent

Inequality Together Fest, a New Brunswick, New Jersey, punk festival with a bake sale component that raised funds for a domestic violence shelter. They also worked with another local baker, Kim Naseath, to or-

ganize a Bloomington Bakers Against Racism event in June. The bake sale received contributions from local professional and home bakers and raised $2,746 for BLM Bloomington and the TGI Justice Project. Bakers

Against Racism was an international event started by a few Washington D.C., bakers in response to the killing of George Floyd by police and the protests that followed earlier this summer. Montanez said they plan to continue baking cakes for donation into the fall. They will also have a workspace at a plant and flower shop that is scheduled to open in Bloomington this fall, where they will continue baking cakes. They hope to teach workshops on topics such as decorating with flowers and working with pie crust. They said the skills they learned as a former employee at Rainbow Bakery have helped them figure out their efficient baking process. Montanez added they had been planning to move to New Jersey for their new job doing logistics for a trucking company, but the coronavirus pandemic interrupted those plans. They now work from home in Bloomington and sometimes spend their lunch hour frosting and decorating cakes. Montanez said working from home has allowed them the flexibility to make two or three cakes a week, and the money from their full-time job covers all of the cake-related expenses. “I think that COVID definitely changed my priorities,” they said. “I’m more likely to stay here and work to help my community that I live in.”

ENTERTAIN THIS

The teenage love triangle behind Taylor Swift’s “folklore” Hannah Dailey is a junior studying journalism.

Chock-full of characteristically sharp-witted lyrics, Taylor Swift’s “folklore” album gave fans a lot to think about this summer. Most enthralling is the sweet and sour tale of a teenaged love triangle gone wrong, as listeners were quick to figure out the songs “august,” “betty” and “cardigan” weave together a fable starring James the adulterer, Betty the saint and an unnamed girl. More mysterious is how the other 13 songs fit in with that story. If “folklore” had a big role in helping you escape from the doomsday summer of 2020, you probably have strong opinions on how the album chronologically fits into one timeline. As someone with a compulsive need to analyze Taylor Swift lyrics that's been festering since I was eight years old, I definitely do. august The story begins from the perspective of the “other woman” archetype, presumably named August. This song is filled with summertime angst and recounts the beginnings of a love affair between her and James. She thought he was her forever and this blind faith was enough. “For me it was enough, to live for the hope of it all.” mirrorball Still from August’s voice,

"mirrorball" drips with insecurity. She does everything possible to keep James interested in her, no matter how much she loses herself in the process. “I’ll get you out on the floor, shimmering beautiful, and when I break it’s in a million pieces.” illicit affairs The affair comes to a painful end, leaving August, forever the mirrorball, shattered. She describes the excruciating feeling of James losing interest in her, despite everything she did. “Take the words for what they are, a dwindling mercurial high.”

traded the stability Betty gave him for someone else — he wanted to be special, thus wanting a girl that could make him feel that way. We know that August did this for him because of the themes explored in “mirrorball.” the 1 Betty has moved on — or so she thinks. But James’ presence lingers. More than anything, she wishes that the affair hadn’t happened, otherwise they’d still be together. “If one thing had been different, would everything be different.”

exile James goes back to Betty, but it’s too late. She’s trying to move on. In this Bon Iver duet, and later in the song “betty,” we learn that she was seeing someone else at this point – possibly William, her eventual husband. "I can see you staring honey, like he's just your understudy."

betty After time apart, James can’t be without Betty anymore. He arrives at her party in true Jerry Maguire fashion, begging her to take him back. The sheer euphoria of this song is proof that the two reconcile. "The only thing I want to do is make it up to you, so I showed up at your party. Will you have me? Do you want me?"

this is me trying James' tries to decipher where he went wrong. He concludes his tenacity and impulsiveness, at first just products of his ambition, ultimately became his undoing. “So ahead of the curve, it became a sphere.” This explains why he

mad woman James and Betty back together, August becomes the pariah of their town. She knows Betty should be just as mad at James as her, but probably keeps it inside. “The master of spin has a couple side flings, good wives always know. She should be mad, should be

scathing like me, but no one likes a mad woman.” cardigan We hear Betty’s perspective on the early years of the affair. The bittersweet reveal comes after realizing “cardigan” is about someone who loves you profoundly but hurts you irrevocably, meaning James is both the one who made her feel like the old cardigan and the one who made her feel like the favorite. "And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite." my tears ricochet This one's definitely about Swift’s dispute over her masters with Scott Borchetta, founder of her former record label. But it also fits into August’s narrative as she looks back on her explosive parting with James, who treated her so horribly in the end that she couldn’t help but make it public. “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace.” peace James’ final remarks to Betty are a promise to stay with her forever, but he knows his reputation means the couple will always be the focus of judgment in their town. His admitted flaws mean they will also forever be braving storms together.

"The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me. Would it be enough if I can never give you peace?" hoax Betty’s final remarks to Jamesreveal she accepts him for who he is. She acknowledges that pain is a side effect of real love. This song and “peace” sound like counterparts, reflecting Betty and James’ unbreakable bond. “Don’t want no other shade of blue but you, no other sadness in the world would do.” epiphany This song signifies the end of the era in which the three teenagers lived. It's not solely focused on them, but rather on changing tides and the ambiguity of life and death. "You dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make sense of what you've seen." seven This song is one of three songs on “folklore” that take place in current time, sung from Taylor’s own voice. Outlining the innocence of love, "seven" shows you what it is before you’re old enough to understand it. "Your braids like a pattern, love you to the moon and to Saturn."

the last great american dynasty Taylor nods to the unhinged behavior of Rebekah West Harkness, her Rhode Island mansion’s previous owner, who married Standard Oil heir William Hale Harkness. Rebekah’s nickname also just happens to be Betty. Perhaps James died in the war alluded to in “epiphany,” and Betty married the eager boy, forever her second choice, that she danced with in gym. "There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen, she had a marvelous time ruining everything." invisible string Lastly in our timeline, this song shows Taylor finding the happiness once coveted by the teen heartbreakers. "Isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?" There’s no telling how correct our “folklore” theories are, so the best we can do is interpret it as we choose — just like real folklore passed down through generations. But if there’s anything that can be learned from this album, it’s that love and life are agonizingly complicated. So basically what Swift has been trying to tell us since 2006. hanjohn@iu.edu

RUSS’ RESPONSES

Editor Kyle Linder opinion@idsnews.com

THROUGH THE TELESCOPE

COVID-19 wreaks havoc on LGBTQIA+ youth Russ Hensley (he/him) is a sophomore studying mathematics, political science and international law.

From restaurant workers to doctors and nurses, essential workers are risking their lives to help their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are vexed with daunting decisions on whether to preserve in-person courses and risk the safety of their students or navigate to online and face the almost-certain perils that accompany remote learning. There are seemingly no answers to aid the uncertainty in the wake of the pandemic. Previously vulnerable populations and communities have been catastrophically affected by the pandemic. Families with low socioeconomic status are being forced into essential labor. Black and Latinx communities contain disproportional numbers of essential workers, such as food service or cleaning personnel, created by systemic racism engulfed in education and urbanism in the United States. Although the experiences of communities cannot be compared during this time, one community that is severely vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic is the LGBTQIA+ community. The pandemic wreaks havoc on LGBTQIA+ youth by confining children to unwelcoming homes and closing areas where guidance is sought, such as therapy at school. Due to the various regulations and orders regarding confinement to home, LGBTQIA+ youth can be forced into living in toxic environments where their identities are not supported or respected. Additionally, as various universities decide to pursue remote learning, college students are being forced to evacuate and return to their previous residences. Various high schools, mid-

dle schools and elementary schools are following this pursuit. While a progressive college town might provide an accepting atmosphere for a student’s unique identity, or a group of high school peers might encourage a student to pursue their identity, remote learning could prove a challenging obstacle to LGBTQIA+ youth discovering their identity. Not only do school closures assert a problem in establishing supportive friendships for lost students, but additionally, in offering professional guidance. Therapy and mental health services provided by universities and primary schools are not always provided remotely or exhibit tumultuous challenges in communicating with students. And if the person has access to private mental health guidance, COVID-19 could prevent the offices from opening or the individual from being able to attend. The LGBTQIA+ community is 8.4 times more likely to commit suicide and 5.4 times more likely to experience depression, making access to mental health vital. LGBTQIA+ youth represent up to 40% of the homeless youth population, extremely disproportionate to the population percentage of LGBTQIA+ youth in the United States, which is estimated to make up around 11%. Common calamities affecting LGBTQIA+ youth, such as family rejection, criminalization and discrimination, are prospective determinants to the homelessness rate in the community. The diminishing, or inconsistent, access to mental health services and the greater potential of confinement to living with family will only exacerbate these numbers. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused detriment to the homeless community. Forced to often unsafe and unsanitary environments

due to displacement, homeless people are defenseless to the virus. Many cities are relocating homeless individuals, prioritizing those diagnosed with COVID-19, but activists experiencing homelessness are criticizing the apathy of the government. An example of this is Bill de Blasio’s failure to acknowledge the homeless population in New York City by sheltering residents without safety precautions. But once people experiencing homelessness are placed into the displacement locations, protocol must be upheld to cease the spread of COVID-19 throughout the shelters. The present, tangible effects of COVID-19 on the homeless population, such as the danger of unmasked homeless individuals contracting COVID-19 in overcrowded cities, are accompanied by future, intangible consequences. The future, and increasingly present, inevitability of an economic recession and smaller job market, as well as the inconsistency of testing, will provide additional obstacles for the homeless population. LGBTQIA+ youth, specifically homeless LGBTQIA+ youth, are hurting. A community experiencing homelessness, displacement and mental illness at immense rates is extremely susceptible to the effects of this pandemic. COVID-19 is not a hoax, and it is devastating our most vulnerable communities. It is important to reflect on the various intersectional identities of those around you and how these identities are disproportionately affected by the devastation COVID-19 has left. One person’s navigation through their personal adversities cannot compare to their roommate’s, their friend’s or their professor’s. It is essential to understand one’s privilege.

A sign reading “I support law & order” is held up Aug. 22 in front of the Monroe County Courthouse. During the protest there were several altercations between pro-police and Black Lives Matter groups.

Bloomington’s pro-police Red, White and Blue Rally was violent, sadistic Kyle Linder (he/him) is a senior studying journalism and international relations. He wants everyone to join a union.

The graffiti “Fuck the Police” centered on the Monroe County Courthouse’s Spanish-American War statue found itself surrounded by rally-goers supporting the police on Saturday. The orange, faded “FTP” tag now served as a monument to the Black Lives Matter protests of this summer. Hours later, as the sun set and after the protest turned violent, Thomas Byrd, a Black counter-protester, stood in the memorial’s shadow with a singular demand. “All I want is to be treated like a human being,” he yelled. More than 200 protesters gathered for the Red, White and Blue Rally organized by Redneck News. The protesters donned Make America Great Again gear, American flag apparel and the $20 “Defend the Police” T-shirts being hawked by the purported news agency. There appeared to be more protesters carrying weapons than wearing face masks. The rally — a decadent display of pure American hubris — was an exercise in depravity, sheer ignorance and apparent but vehementlydenied racism. The protest ardently opposed calls to defund the police, despite the institution’s violent, ineffective and racist history. Simultaneously, their actions Saturday reflect the very worst of white supremacist policing. Facing Kirkwood Avenue, the crowd joined the rally’s speakers in prayer. On the peripheries, some were hard at work erasing pro-BLM chalk messages from the sidewalk. Others were harassing a single counter-protester, while one rally-goer

felt emboldened enough to say “White lives matter.” The incendiary rhetoric would eventually turn into physical blows. “We want this to be a positive rally,” one speaker said. The protesters had a twisted view of positive. Robert Hall, a former Indiana congressional candidate, indulged the crowd with his COVID-19 conspiracy theories. Speaking from the hood of a Redneck News truck and flanked by men on horseback, he repeatedly referred to the coronavirus by its racist moniker, “China virus,” and falsely claimed masks do not reduce its spread. Hall’s thesis asserted COVID-19 restrictions led to the proliferation of BLM protests, which he characterized simply as “looting.” Never mind the highprofile murders of Black Americans such as George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the killings of McHale Rose and Dreasjon Reed in the same day at the hands of Indianapolis police or the violence employed by police departments across the country in response to BLM protests. Those at Saturday’s rally preferred to ignore or justify these instances of blatant, systemic racism. As the speeches concluded, about 20 counterprotesters formed a chain and marched into the nowfrenzied crowd. The rally-goers engulfed them, eager to enforce their version of law and order. Several counterprotesters were knocked to the ground, at least one hit over the head with a baton and a medic’s kit torn off her back and stomped on. Byrd, a counter-protester, was punched in the mouth as protesters circled him and a woman named Melinda, he said. “From there, I was try-

ing to punch them back in defense, and then someone had just wound up grabbing me and everybody just started attacking me,” Byrd said. The counter-protesters ensured their members were safe before backing off, standing steps away from the crowd and chanting “Black lives matter.” A truck emptied a cloud of black smoke onto them. Motorcycles followed, driving slowly through the counterprotesters. Those in the Redneck News truck cheered and honked as they drove by, seemingly content with the violence they brought to Bloomington. Meanwhile, the crowd jeered, now assured in what it apparently saw as a forceful victory over the 20 mostly college-aged “looters” they appear to fear so much. “I’d like to hang that boy from a tree,” one man said in apparent reference to a counter-protester. “Black smoke matters,” said another to a round of laughter. As they departed the courthouse square, sweating and laughing, several rally-goers shook hands with the police officers that only recently arrived. They left their own monument, a grand testament to the rally’s ideas, sitting squarely in the middle of Kirkwood Avenue: a pile of horse shit, buzzing with flies. Bloomington will never be the “liberal oasis” many so often claim it as unless we collectively take a stand against systemic racism, over-policing and hatred. Which side are you on? Equating the two groups is no longer an option. kylinder@iu.edu Avraham Forrest contributed reporting to this column.

EDITORIAL

Keeping the Indiana Daily Student accountable IDS Diversity Board

The Indiana Daily Student would like to acknowledge and apologize to IU students for not being representative and fair to different demographic groups that make up IU’S community. Like many media outlets across America, the IDS has struggled with keeping our coverage fair, open and inclusive to every type of student that graces IU’s campus. We have failed the students of this university by only telling part of the story of Bloomington’s many communities. We acknowledge that we have been part of the problem and we are striving to become part of the solution. We have heard your criticism and are implementing changes that promote accurate and responsible representation for the entirety of IU’s community. For example, it was unfair of the IDS to not cover stories surrounding the Latinx community but repeatedly approach La Casa Latino Cultural Center for

quotes about President Donald Trump’s frequent racist remarks toward the Latinx community. The various relationships the IDS has with the different cultural centers should be symbiotic and our past actions do not reflect this. Finally, we acknowledge that our paper has echoed daily police briefings and not considered the entirety of the story. The Bloomington community deserves a newspaper that represents the ideas, hopes, challenges and triumphs of all its residents, and the IDS is committed to becoming that voice. These changes include but are not limited to: Black Voices The biggest first step the IDS will be taking this fall is our new platform for Black and other underrepresented students, Black Voices. The Black Voices section will provide a space for students to share stories, columns, perspectives and other media about being a Black on IU’s campus.

Semi-annual demographics survey The IDS Diversity Board is conducting its first demographics survey, to be released every semester. The goal of this survey is to provide transparency about who makes up the IDS and to provide data to help drive initiatives to diversify our staff and management.

Changes to the General Assignments (reporter training) process In an attempt to help integrate the future of IDS with all the communities of IU, we have implemented new training to foster those relationships. To start, we are requiring every new reporter to write a story

surrounding a community which they do not belong to. For example a new straight, white reporter must write a story surrounding the Black, Latinx, LGTBQ or any other community to which they do not belong. Transparency and feedback We are in the process

of developing a system that will better enable our readers to provide feedback on IDS content. We want to maintain a higher level of transparency and responsibility to the power the IDS possesses. The goal of the IDS is to accurately report and tell the stories of IU’s students, staff, faculty and the larger Bloomington community.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

The Big Ten fan’s back-to-school essentials: Big Ten Network, puzzles Bradley Hohulin is a sophomore in marketing.

Summer is drawing to a close, which means back-to-school commercials have yet again resurfaced like a bad rash. But in a year defined by the coronavirus pandemic, the return to academia looks awfully different, especially for collegiate sports fans. If Target and Walmart insist on selling pens and folders when most forms of education have transitioned online, I can peddle my wares despite the Big Ten dismissing fall athletics. Alternative housing decor Every year, universities print posters of their football schedule destined to hang on dorm room walls. If you own one of these suddenly outdated pieces of art, I suggest giving it a second life, perhaps as a hyper-stylized placemat. Then again, imagine the pain you’ll feel when wistfully cleaning spaghetti sauce off “Oct. 17 @ Rutgers.” Oh, what could have been. Most team-related merchandise will lead to similar melancholy. Fortunately, the campus is ripe with other thriving student organizations. That IU soccer hat is just a few sharpie strokes away from supporting the university’s prestigious Yo-Yo Club. Finally, flesh out your living space with new furniture. Pick up a coffee table from IKEA, toss out the instructions and get to work. Surely Big Ten loyalists can appreciate entering a complex process with no plan whatsoever, ending up heartbroken when everything collapses on itself. Tailgating trinkets If Memorial Stadium’s halfempty seating indicates anything, it’s that tailgating is arguably more

important than the game. However, the only alcohol anybody’s toting in discrete plastic containers this fall is the 60% ethanol in Purell. So how does a group of college kids party without creating the most potent spread offense since Louisiana State University’s 2019 squad? Masks are clearly the safest route but aren’t particularly conducive to shotgunning or chugging one’s way toward a blurry afternoon. Though not prevalent at tailgates, a yard of ale is perfect in a COVID-19 society. Nobody can get within six feet of one another so long as everybody constantly keeps their comically long beer glass tilted into their mouths like a champ. Entertainment

Unless you enjoy watching reruns from a distant age when Illinois had a competent football program, the Big Ten Network might not be your best viewing selection. Nevertheless, some conferences still plan to plow ahead with a season. Take the flagship network of the ACC, which I recently discovered did not in fact stand for the “All Clemson Conference.” Did you know Duke University had a real-life football team with uniforms and a field and everything? How precious is that? True, several of these Big XII or Southeastern Conference-exclusive channels feature lackluster commentary and way too many commercials advertising Bible Belt barbecue chains you’ll never visit, but football is football.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8 — Long-term benefits arise through bold declarations and actions made today. Realize a romantic dream. Dance and flirt with someone attractive. Enjoy the ones you love.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9 — Your quick action draws praise. Put in extra effort. Articulate an inspiring vision. You can get what you need by making powerful requests. Exceed expectations.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9 — You’re in the spotlight. Smile and speak from your heart. Deliver an inspiring vision. Draw upon hidden resources. Realize personal dreams with focused intention.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8 — Home and family take priority. Discuss dreams and aspirations. Create works of beauty, fragrance and flavor. Make a special connection. Discover hidden treasure.

amid a pandemic sounds like a more desperate version of Custer’s Last Stand, but if the southern schools somehow pull it off we’ll all be saying “yeehaw” come December. New hobbies The first semester is a relentless onslaught of icebreakers in which you robotically recite your name, hometown and favorite pastimes. While saying you like sports is usually a godsend for a freshman otherwise devoid of personality, nobody wants to be reminded of their cancellation. Therefore, it’s important to adopt new skills and interests. It supposedly takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, which by a happy coincidence is roughly how long ESPN’s commer-

cial-addled college football broadcasts seem to last. Learning to cook will come in handy since you can no longer rely on a Saturday lunch consisting of macrobrews and chicken wings. For a more cerebral challenge, try jigsaw puzzles to give yourself the illusion that you’re putting together the scattered pieces of your life. Lastly, immerse yourself in the pop culture you once deemed childish make-believe. The days of football being cooler than Star Wars are behind us. Just like the harrowing war between the Empire and the Rebellion, a conflict between IU and Purdue isn’t happening in a galaxy near ours any time soon.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 — Connect for a common prize. Dreams get realized through teamwork and coordination. Work out roles and responsibilities. Delegate tasks. Together you’re unbeatable.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 — Study and research. Each new advance presents new challenges. You’re exceptionally creative now. Dream big. You’re making a good impression. Dreams can come true.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 — You’re attracting the attention of an important person at work. Go for reality over fantasy. Hope bursts through again. Let a friend inspire you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is an 8 — Align on the best direction for shared finances. Moves made now can have lasting benefit. Dreams come true through organization, coordination and collaboration.

FOOTBALL

IU still receives votes in preseason AP poll Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu

Ahead of a fall 2020 season IU football won’t play, the team received 19 votes in the preseason Associated Press top 25 poll. The AP ranked all Football Bowl Subdivision teams regardless of whether they will play this fall or not. Nine of the top 25 teams are not playing this season — all from the Big Ten or Pac-12. The AP considered teams that were not playing this season in the preseason poll, but will no longer have those teams ranked once games begin. The Big Ten said it would like to play in the spring if possible. The other Power Five conferences — the Southeastern Conference, the Big 12 and the Atlantic Coast Conference

— all still plan to play this season. Those conferences make up much of the remainder of the poll. Despite normally being independent, 10th ranked University of Notre Dame will play as part of the ACC this season. The University of Central Florida and the University of Cincinnati from the American Athletic Conference are both ranked as well and both plan to play this season. IU is the 10th team out of the poll, which would equate to an unofficial ranking of 35th. The Hoosiers come in as the seventh-ranked team in the Big Ten. IU football has only been ranked in the preseason poll once in school history, which came in 1969. Last season, IU made the top 25 for one week — its first appearance in the poll since 1994.
