Pitcher Carl Erskine Dies, No Confidence Vote at IU, Republican Primary Spending, DOJ Study on Officer-Involved Shootings

Carl Erskine, famous Dodgers pitcher, last surviving member of the “Boys of Summer,” and Indiana native has died, at age 97, at a hospital in Anderson. Indiana University’s Bloomington faculty have declared no confidence in President Pamela Whitten, Provost Rahul Shrivastav and Vice Provost Faculty and Academic Affairs Carrie Docherty. Indiana’s six Republican candidates for governor have spent more than $35 million, making it the most expensive primary in state history. The city of Indianapolis has entered into an agreement with the Department of Justice to review the recent uptick in officer-involved shootings.
