Inspired by the protests against racial inequality this summer, the Bloomington-based Cook Medical team began looking for a way to diversify and realized the company could help itself while helping others. And Cook officials want to share their playbook with others.
While efforts to create a COVID-19 vaccine have garnered the most headlines, Eli Lilly and Co. turned its attention to another critical need—helping those who contract the disease get better.
If the city is going to host the tournament, it must do so with a clear-eyed awareness that much work needs to be done—especially downtown, where many restaurants have gone out of business and many buildings are boarded up.
By all accounts, it was an investigation done with integrity, with empathy and with impartiality. And the officials involved appeared to share as much about the evidence as they could within the limits of the law.
The state reports county-level case numbers and identifies schools and long-term-care facilities that have had outbreaks, but it does not share cases by ZIP code nor identify categories of businesses where the virus is being transmitted. Doing so would help Hoosiers make better decisions.
Learn what you can before you cast your ballot—and don’t stop with the federal races. The future of our communities and our state depends on it.
The strict definition of amateurism that has guided the organization since its founding is falling by the wayside.
We urge more companies to make similar commitments, whether they do so publicly by participating in the equity pledge or privately with accountability from within their own organizations.
Granted, Holcomb and his campaign have nothing to gain politically by introducing creative policy proposals in the midst of a safe race. But how about January? He’ll have four years and little to lose by making bold proposals that can help those who are struggling, shore up our weaknesses and make Indiana more economically competitive than ever.

We don’t begrudge the health department for setting limits. Big crowds can fan the spread of the coronavirus, and many NFL and USL Championship teams aren’t permitting any fans to attend.

For Indy’s employers—large and small—to remain strong, they need a working environment in which the most innovative ideas and strongest strategies emerge, and we believe for most firms, that’s tough to accomplish in a remote work environment.
Even before the pandemic, there were efforts afoot, such as TechPoint’s partnership with TMap, to identify people with an Indiana connection who work outside the state but might be willing to return. We’ve used this space before to encourage such programs, but now there’s a new urgency to making such appeals, and not just to people who already have local ties.
Population projections indicate a substantial drop in the number of high school graduates is coming in the next few years, which means fewer incoming college freshmen to attract.
So far, Elanco has been a textbook case for the benefits of spinoffs—for both the parent company divesting the business and the division gaining its independence.
Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett this week each made crucial announcements—the first about racial-equality efforts and the second about downtown safety—that we wholeheartedly welcome, even as we’re disappointed they didn’t come sooner.
In Indianapolis, we now have 100 million reasons to hope positive change is possible, that the civil unrest of 2020 will lead to lasting improvements in the lives and livelihoods of Black residents and the community at large.
In a pandemic, we don’t want people waiting in line to cast votes in person—just like we don’t want them crowded together anyplace else.
The project still faces hurdles—including that Kite must line up financing. But we’re pleased that such a splashy project with so much potential upside is off the drawing board and on its way toward becoming reality.
Considerations about whether students should be in school are about far more than just whether it’s the best learning environment.
