After more than 50 years, Indiana University and Purdue University will split IUPUI – their joint venture in Indianapolis ’ into two separate academic institutions.
The announcement was made simultaneously Friday morning at meetings of the IU and Purdue boards of trustees.
IUPUI has been administered primarily through IU and secondarily through Purdue, but it offered undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees from both universities. Located in downtown Indianapolis along the White River, it is Indiana’s primary urban research and academic health sciences institution.
