THE AGREEMENTS PURDUE, IU SIGNED ENDING IUPUI
There’s a lot to digest in last week’s formal agreement to dissolve IUPUI and set partners IU and Purdue on their own courses after more than 50 years with a joint campus in Indianapolis.
The top line for Purdue is that the university will continue its engineering and technology program in five buildings on the west side of downtown Indianapolis, as well as get control of 28 acres to build out what university officials say will be an urban extension of the West Lafayette campus 65 miles away. IU will retain the bulk of the IUPUI campus.
The arrangement kicks in July 1, 2024. And Purdue President Mung Chiang said Wednesday that enrollment efforts start now, a year out from the official launch of what’s being called Purdue in Indianapolis.
The details about faculty roles, how current IUPUI students will round out their academic careers, tuition (same as the West Lafayette campus) and more get quick treatment in an FAQ released last week by Purdue: www.purdue.edu/campuses/indianapolis/faq
Beyond that, several readers have asked to see the actual agreement Chiang and IU President Pamela Whitten signed.
After records request, here goes, with the main agreement plus seven appendices.
Main: Program Transfer Agreement between Purdue and IU
Curriculum Offering and Academic Delivery
Teach-Out: The next three years for current IUPUI students
Student, Faculty and Staff Services
Ground Lease: Who gets what properties when IUPUI dissolves
Research Transition Agreement
Happy reading.

The agreements Purdue, IU signed ending IUPUI
I looked at the teach-out agreement and don't think I see anything addressing students who are double-majors with one degree and PUI and one at IUI. Maybe in another document?
If I were a student-athlete in a PUI major I'd probably be looking toward the transfer portal, because "Work is underway with the NCAA to minimize disruption to IUPUI student-athletes" is not a sentence that is terribly reassuring for students who'll see sports owned by IUI.
Life is too short. I'd rather watch paint dry. My wasting any of my allotted seconds on earth on even opening any of these documents, let alone reading them, will change nothing, and I'll never get those seconds back.
That said, if any of your readers want to wade into this particular swamp, I'd be happy to read a few paragraphs describing what, if anything, they've found.
