Miami University

The Faculty Alliance of Miami will be the university's first union in its more than 200-year history.

The Miami Redhawks take on the University of Kentucky Friday afternoon. It's the first time the softball team has earned an NCAA tournament birth in three consecutive years.

The 2008 Miami graduate is the 10th coach to be enshrined in bronze on the plaza outside Yager Stadium. His statue will be unveiled Saturday, May 6, at noon in a public ceremony.

The bill would ban universities from requiring diversity, equity and inclusion training. It would also prohibit universities from making public statements on controversial issues, among other things.

Meanwhile, Miami's librarians are expected to hold a union election sometime this summer.

Retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Mark Arnold delivered medical supplies during his two trips to Ukraine.

Only tenured and tenure-track professors, along with longer-term contract faculty, would be able to vote and join the union.

Miami University and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma spent the last year commemorating the 50th anniversary of partnering to learn from each other. University students and staff traveled to the tribe's recent Winter Gathering in Oklahoma — a capstone to the yearlong celebration. WVXU's Tana Weingartner was invited along and brings back this look at what the partnership means to so many.

Growing up, Kathy Carter Young knew she was Myaamia (Miami), but says she didn't truly know what that meant. Then her son went to Miami University.

The two Miamis formed a partnership in 1972 that has grown and evolved, resulting in, among other things, a cultural revitalization. One outcome of that work has been finding and learning Myaamia stories that hadn't been told in many years.
