This article tells us nothing that we didn’t already know, and it’s kind of misleading in some ways.
There is no indication that IU’s announcement earlier this week was going to yield significant benefits to any campus but Bloomington. Further, the $89M for a new sports facility isn’t about IUI as much as it is about The Indiana Sports Corp and Indianapolis wanting another venue.
Lugar was right 50+ years ago. There needs to be a great state university in Indianapolis, and it needs to be a separate enterprise than IU or Purdue. All IU and Purdue are doing is the minimum required to make sure that never happens.
There used to be a Higher Education Commission which worked to keep the public universities from duplicating programs, so taxpayers wouldn’t be supporting multiple programs delivering essentially the same product. Purdue did tech, IU did health (IU Med School had students at Purdue, or at least in West Lafayette). IU did law. Purdue did Agriculture. Now it appears we’ll have duplicate programs not just in the system, but in the same city, though as a graduate of IUPUI School of Liberal Arts, I am dubious of the committment of either university to the Indy campus. Maybe for grad students; certainly not for undergrads.
The article, like others from the IBJ, also ignores the shameful treatment inflicted by West Lafayette administrators on the faculty of the School of Engineering and Technology and the Computer Science Department in the School of Science. Their callousness has been astonishing. Indianapolis faculty are being removed simply to afford West Lafayette faculty the privileges, opportunities, and advantages that small-town West Lafayette can’t offer. If given a choice, who would live in West Lafayette? Now Purdue can recruit faculty by offering the real allure of living and working in Indy.
IU has been no less disgusting in its complicity with West Lafayette’s move.
The Liberal Arts with many quality institutes.and.programs (Bradbury Center, for exame) will definitely come up short. Sad for Indy.
Despite the platitudes, it sounds like Purdue and IU are most definitely competing with one another and it seems all of this investment could still have been achieved without wasting $210 M on “realignment.”
