In July, Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan named a retired Gary physician and a financial services executive from Carmel as the newest members of the IU Board of Trustees. Dr. Clarence Boone of Gary, and Jeffrey Cohen of Carmel were appointed to three-year terms. Later in the month, the governor announced that Bloomington resident and board vice president Stephen Ferguson, who has served as a trustee since 1998, was reappointed to another three-year term. Sue Talbot of Bloomington was re-elected to a second three-year term by a vote among IU alumni.
