Jamie Newman resigned his position Monday. He made a number of rape threats on social media that led to a week of turmoil on Purdue's campus.

2. Panel scheduled to meet in Indianapolis today to discuss 'school to prison pipeline.'

The panel discussion at Ivy Tech's Indianapolis campus is to highlight any discrimination against Indiana's children on the basis of race, color and/or sex.

3. Good Catholic producers say the state needs to start offering tax incentives or Indiana will get passed by for other movie projects. 

The producers of the Good Catholic, filming in Bloomington, say if the state doesn't start offering tax incentives to Hollywood projects, that Indiana won't be able to woo other production deals.
