TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Indiana State University (ISU) and The Pride Center of Terre Haute have reached a resolution in principle, regarding the lawsuit filed against ISU after the university allegedly refused to allow the Pride Center’s Pride Fest 2025 on ISU’s campus.
According to court documents, a settlement conference is scheduled for Friday, March 28, at 2:00 p.m. to discuss the case status. Those documents can be seen below.
The ACLU of Indiana sued the university on behalf of the Pride Center in February.
In 2023 and 2024, The Pride Center held its Pride Fest on ISU’s campus, but in 2025 the ACLU of Indiana said, “without The Pride Center’s knowledge, ISU secured an agreement from the city of Terre Haute to hold Pride Fest at a city park off-campus in 2025.”
ISU denied that allegation and other allegations, according to court documents. The terms of the proposed settlement have not yet been released.
