Associated Press: Trump is blocked from the GOP primary ballot in two states. Can he still run for president?

Trump remains on the ballot in Colorado and Maine and that his political fate is now in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Maine ruling will likely never take effect on its own. Its central impact is increasing pressure on the nation's highest court to say clearly: Can Trump still run for president after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol?

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Momper honored as trustee emeritus

It marked the end of a 16-year stint on the board for the Fort Wayne resident. His time saw three separate Indiana Governors and achievements like a new geothermal heating and cooling system, launching the village revitalization project and selecting the university’s 17th president, Geoffrey Mearns in 2017, where Momper chaired the search committee. “Wow, I’ve been thinking about this day for a long time,” Momper said. “It’s really an honor to serve on this board the last 16 years… it was a lot of hard work, as you all know, but it was so fulfilling, the opportunity to work with you, my fellow trustees, and all you, the Ball State family. It’s just unbelievable. It’s [an opportunity] I’ll never forget.”
