  1. The same Indianapolis-hating rural legislators who killed the Indiana banking industry are responsible for keeping our capital city from having a standalone great university. Cutting off our nose to spite our face.

  2. Fellow IUPUI alum here. Similarly, without its evening classes and part time programs I would have never gone to college. My parents couldn’t afford it, so I worked, lived in their basement, and took a five-year (including Summers) odyssey to earn my bachelor’s degree debt free. I’ve got to say, I still don’t understand the need to “divorce” IU and PU. Both great universities have always had a presence on campus and degrees available from both. Cooperation would have been cheaper than the millions being spent just for signage and rebranding efforts.
