Ind. Courts - US Attorney Susan Brooks moving on to Ivy Tech

This Indianapolis Star is reporting this afternoon, in a story by Jon Murray, that:

U.S. Attorney Susan Brooks has accepted a job as the top lawyer for Ivy Tech Community College, officials confirmed this afternoon.

Brooks, who oversees federal prosecutions for the Southern District of Indiana, will start Oct. 1 as Ivy Tech’s general counsel. President Bush appointed Brooks as U.S. attorney in 2001, and legal experts say it’s unlikely he will appoint a successor before his second term ends in January 2009.

Brooks said the job seemed to be the opportunity of a lifetime when Ivy Tech officials approached her.

“I believe in their mission,” she said. “They’re reaching all types of people. They are working to make sure people are trained for the kind of jobs they need.”

Brooks, 47, a Republican, previously was a deputy mayor under Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith.
