Grad strike suspended, Martinsville fishery ponds, COVID uptick | Indiana Newsdesk

Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk :

IU’s graduate student workers voted to suspend their strike until the fall, but they got a big show of support from the university faculty this week. Just ahead, the faculty overwhelmingly voted to support the grad student’s forming a union.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s stocked in the fishery ponds just north of Martinsville, we’ve got the answer. In the early and mid-1900's, the property was the largest goldfish farm in the world.

And, we talk to an expert about COVID-19 as cases begin to tick back up and the country passes a deadly milestone.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, right now on  Indiana Newsdesk.
