Find out how things will change in Indianapolis as IU and Purdue split into two institutions:
The announcement, which both institutions are calling"a bold new vision for higher education in Indianapolis," was made simultaneously Friday morning at meetings of the IU and Purdue boards of trustees. It's the first step in what is expected to be a two-year process. Details of the split, including opportunities for continued partnership, will be worked through in time for the realignment to be completed by the fall 2024 semester.
IU also expects to enhance integration of its science programs with its School of Medicine and other allied health science schools, expanding the number of students who will be prepared for health science-based careers. IU will continue to offer business, law, nursing, social work and a wide range of other academic disciplines.
Purdue will continue operating out of several buildings on the IUPUI campus. It hopes to eventually build a new dorm. At Friday's press conference, Daniels said the vision is that students from Purdue's flagship West Lafayette campus would have opportunities to study at the Indianapolis campus for a year or two. It will not be treated as a regional campus, he said, but rather as an extension of West Lafayette.
It employs nearly 4,000 full-time staff members. Some faculty members expressed concern on social media Friday for what the sea change would mean for their jobs. Andrew Klein, interim chancellor of IUPUI, said he doesn't expect faculty to be greatly impacted. He said IU plans to continue offering everything that's available on campus now.
Already, the institutions announced one new addition to the campus. Whitten said they'll take their respective expertise − IU in health sciences and Purdue in engineering − to create a new Biosciences Engineering Institute.
