Purdue University as a State institution is now supporting with "in kind" political donations to the forthcoming mayoral campaign of the former Republican turned Democrat Mayor of Hammond. This is the one who defeated the incumbent Republican Mayor of Hammond, Duane Dedelow.
Purdue is providing free press advertising, Internet advertising and most importantly credentials and status building to the turncoat Democrat. One never knows how legal these are for a state institution. But in NWI legality is a matter of flexibility and don't talk about ethics, even the people who are pushing to ethical "rules" won't speak against anyone breaking them.
It is amazing though, out of self interest, that a Republican Governor, Senate, and House would put up with this situation. It should be an embarrassment to them to be taken advantage of so easily.
