The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and several other agencies across the state are warning of yet another text message scam. Sheriff Noah Robinson spoke about the scams publicly and said they were “all fake.” Authorities say they have been receiving reports of these scams in higher concentration lately. The text message claims you have an outstanding ticket with the DMV and will need to pay or have your license suspended. Sheriff Robison says even the slightest bit of detective work reveals these text messages are inaccurate. Robinson pointed out that the text is supposedly from the DMV, but this can’t be the case because Indiana has a BMV, not a DMV. Additionally, the text message references a state administrative code that doesn’t exist and has a link that isn’t part of a state government website.
The University of Southern Indiana is proposing that tuition and mandatory fees be held flat for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years. School officials say this is in response to a recommendation by the Governor and Indiana Commission for Higher Education, as well as a desire to maintain affordable educational excellence. A hearing to solicit public comment is today at 10:00 AM in the Griffin Center. Under Indiana Code, each state educational institution is required to set tuition and fees for a two-year period following the adoption of the State’s biennial budget and to hold a public hearing before the adoption of any proposed rate increases. Officials say the University recommends that the 2025-26 and 2026-27 per-semester, credit-hour student fee remain at the 2024-25 amount of $299.19 for Indiana resident undergraduate students; $446.94 for Indiana resident graduate students; $727.23 for non-resident undergraduate students; and $875.33 for non-resident graduate students. It is also recommended that the other mandatory fees not be increased for 2025-26 and 2026-27.
