“In addition to laying out a vision for IU’s flagship location in Bloomington, the blueprint includes campus-specific plans for the university’s seven satellite branches, including IUPUI, which is set to be renamed IU Indianapolis under a realignment plan.”
IUPUI was never considered a “satellite branch”, but rather one of two “core” campuses. IUPUI has its own satellite campuses, in IUFW and IUPUC.
To add to this:
->Much of IU’s administration is at its Indianapolis campus
->IU’s Indianapolis campus is home to its medical, nursing, and dental schools (which are each the biggest or among the biggest schools of their type in the US)
->Most of IU’s research happens in Indianapolis between IUSM and IUPUI.
Which is why IU has always considered its Indy campus to be a “core” campus rather than a satellite campus.
Did the IBJ writer attend this meting and familiarize himself with this “Plan”? Or just re-write a press release?
For the record: the “public input’ was flimsy at best; there was no public comment or large-scale discussion at this trustees’ meeting.
I did not see any mention of athletics. Does President Whitten have a plan to bring National Championships home to Bloomington? The lack of a laid out plan for the football and basketball teams makes me very nervous for the future because at the end of the day, that is what will define IU. Banners fly forever.
But wealthy alumni (in STEM fields) give money forever.
IUPUI is a co-equal “core campus” with IU-Bloomington as per the IU reorganization of 1974. Any use of the term “flagship” by either Bloomington-based spokesperson or release-reading reporters is uninformed and fifty years behind the times.
Bloomington has been and will continue be “the flagship campus.” All the other campuses exist because of Bloomington. 1820. Herman B. Wells. 200 years. This reality takes nothing away from the importance of IUPUI. But history matters.
I doubt they addressed the high cost of attending school there as a possible reason for the falling number of graduates from state schools.
