English instructor Bill Feltt continues fighting a battle to recover from injuries and has been readmitted into a hospital after being released from Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center earlier this week.

Feltt was hospitalized after being attacked on campus by a group of six to eight unknown males.

Dana Ringuette, chair of the English department, said Feltt was expecting to return to teaching his regular English 1001 classes soon, but health problems have put him back into the hospital.

Jennifer Foster, a registered nurse at Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, Ind., said Feltt was admitted into Good Samaritan Sep. 3 in critical condition.

Ringuette said Feltt is suffering from a small hemorrhage in his skull, a fracture and a sinus infection.

Feltt was released from Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center on Sep. 2, and was in Indiana to visit his mother, Ringuette said.

“We are hoping for the best,” said Ringuette. “We are hoping he’ll be back as soon as possible, but this is obviously a setback.”

Adam Due, chief public safety officer at the University Police Department, said an investigation into the beating was still pending and he could not comment on its progress.

Feltt was attacked at about 1:50 a.m. on the southeast corner of the Martin Luther King University Union early Aug. 27 by six to eight unknown males, all estimated to be in their 20s. The assault was allegedly unprovoked.

A $2,500 reward has been issued for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Feltt’s attackers. Anyone with information should call the UPD at 581-3213.

Currently, officials are planning on taking the reward money from the Judicial Affairs budget, but other departments may bear some of the cost as time goes on.

“It is very important that we solve this and any other serious crimes on campus,” said Keith Kohanzo, director of Judicial Affairs. “Crime rates are very low on this campus, and this brings attention to the need to respond immediately. We are new to this, but, unfortunately, this is an example of where (a reward) may help the community.”
