Why 2 years for “realignment”?
How long did it take you to complete your last institutional realignment?
Maybe you can provide some pointers!
R.E. Lilly and Cummins make snapshot Major strategic decisions on a Friday afternoon, so clearly it can be done…
Why the change?
Some have said (me) that IUPUI could be considered a step-child of 2 Big Ten institutions; but at least a step-child has one loving parent.
This is a solution looking for a problem.
They basically acknowledged they both did their own thing but the bylaws of the school didn’t allow for public discourse.
Many years ago there were discussions among Purdue and IU about a new “name” (Indianapolis University) to replace IUPUI. No consensus could be reached on the new name or alignment of duties and the idea died. Indiana Central on the south side of Indy realized that the name “Indianapolis” was not copyrighted. They obtained rights to the name and renamed their school University of Indianapolis. A very smart decision by U of I leadership.

I remember that whole controversy.
Like you, I was hoping that IUPUI would rebrand itself into an independent
university called the University of Indianapolis. It would have benefited
Indianapolis tremendously.
The University of Indianapolis already exists: https://uindy.edu
The word “Indianapolis” cannot be trademarked as it is in the public domain by virtue of it being the name of a city. Hence, Indiana Central University could not and did not “obtain rights” to the name. No one gave it to the school, and no one can take it away from the school.
The state of Indiana is working to develop this biotechnology corridor from Indianapolis to Lafayette. What seems to be lost in the equation is that southern Indiana with Baxter, Cook and Catalent not to mention the tech heavy Crane could be a technology dynamo. Though PU develops great engineering minds, they still need great business minds and lawyers to to keep these projects on track. Which, IU is well equipped.
Making IUPUI the center of this dynamo would make since. It is close to the Lilly, Elanco, Corteva, Butler, logistics, statehouse, Pacers, Colts, hotels an convention space just for starters.
