State’s big colleges don’t lead way in presidential pay: Chiefs at IU, Purdue, Ball State haven’t crossed half-million-dollar mark, but there are perks aplenty

May 7, 2007

Competition for top college presidents is intense these days. But neither Indiana University nor Purdue University trustees appear willing to break the bank to make sure they’re landing the right leader. About one in six of the public universities surveyed by the Chronicle of Higher Education now pays its president more than $500,000. That’s well above the $400,000 IU’s new leader, Michael McRobbie, will collect-though his wife, Laurie Burns McRobbie, will receive another $90,000 for her efforts to support and…

Two more Central Canal competitors unveiled: The Marion County Alliance of Neighborhood Associations may ask the city and state for more public input

May 7, 2007

A 140- to 160-room boutique hotel straddling the Central Canal has been added to the mix of proposals to develop a nearly one-acre parcel the state owns but wants to lease out for development. Four groups submitted plans by an April deadline, but details were not released until May 1. IBJ reported the specifics of two of the proposals April 16. The newly released plans from Wichita, Kan.-based LodgeWorks LP are by far the most ambitious, calling for the state…

Informatics job ‘special’ to dean: New leader of prominent IU school says no other offer could have lured him away from Colorado

May 7, 2007

Even before Bobby Schnabel became a candidate to take charge at the Indiana University School of Informatics, he knew enough about the program to know he wanted to lead it. By ending his 30-year affiliation with the University of Colorado at Boulder, Schnabel, 56, officially exchanges the black and gold of the Buffaloes for the cream and crimson of the Hoosiers on July 1. But of even greater significance is the fact that IU sought Schnabel to succeed J. Michael…

Design changes afoot for state Web pages: Online renovation includes search-engine upgrade that features Scott Jones’ ChaCha instead of Google

May 7, 2007

A redesigned state Web portal unveiled last month should make it easier for Hoosiers to plow through mounds of government minutia. But, more important, the revamping set to be finished in mid-2008 represents a major shift in state policy. By contracting with locally based ChaCha Search Inc.- tech entrepreneur Scott Jones’ new humanassisted Internet search engine-the state no longer relies solely on big, name-brand computer technology such as Microsoft. “We have somebody who is local and excited about taking the…

with potential investors his vision for The Abraham Clark School of Law, named after one of the lesser-known signers of the
Declaration of Independence, May 10 at the Indianapolis Marriott North.

Flood of traffic latest twist in RiverPlace battle: Indianapolis planners find traffic impact study for Fishers project leaky

May 7, 2007

Environmentalists who lost a court battle to stop RiverPlace on grounds it will cause flooding upstream along the White River have been buoyed by concerns raised by Indianapolis officials that the 69-acre development could create a torrent of traffic trouble. Last month, in a letter sent to Fishers’ public works director, the Department of Metropolitan Development cited numerous shortcomings with a traffic impact study commissioned by RiverPlace developer Centre Properties. Indianapolis-based Centre has asked Fishers to rezone the property, just…

NOTIONS: Hoosier college presidents teach a liberal arts lesson

May 14, 2007

Last Monday morning, my work took me to West Lafayette. When I learned that Purdue University would name a new president that afternoon, I decided to stick around for the festivities. Hundreds of people gathered in the Loeb Playhouse for the one-agenda-item trustees’ meeting. The vote was unanimous. The introductory speech outlined an “out-of-this-world” resume. And out from behind the curtain emerged 59-year-old France CÃ³rdova: astrophysicist, university administrator, creative writer-someone Purdue board chair J. Timothy McGinley called “truly a Renaissance…

Super Bowl hinges on whether owners like Irsay or Jones

May 14, 2007

Bringing a Super Bowl to Indianapolis might have little to do with weather, hotel rooms or posh practice facilities. The biggest
factor is likely to be Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, and how other National Football League owners feel about him and
the contributions he has made to their tight-knit club.

Parker suits up for change at Kiwanis International: New CEO reaching out to younger generation, trying to reverse years of membership declines

May 14, 2007

To some of the leisure-suited old guard at Kiwanis International, it must have seemed as if a biker gang member had rolled into the executive suite and popped a wheelie. One of the first things new CEO Rob Parker did was to trash an old lounge where managers reclined for a meeting every month or so. Out went the chairs-managers would now stand around the table during a “daily huddle.” And if they didn’t want varicose veins, they’d better keep…

May 21, 2007

John Delaney, a second-tier Brightpoint Inc. executive convicted of securities fraud last year, charges in a newly public

now executive vice president of locally based Walker Information.

VOICES FROM THE INDUSTRY: Infrastructure is costly to improve, but costlier to ignore

May 21, 2007

A recent article in Strategy+business magazine estimated that “the world’s urban infrastructure needs a $41 trillion makeover” between now and 2030. The article explained that $41 trillion is roughly equivalent to the “2006 market capitalization of all shares held in all stock markets in the world.” Some experts think that “new technology” will be the answer, and it may be when nanotechnology takes over the world. For now, however, the trend usually reinforces the trend, and we do the same…

Otterness sculptures on their way back: But officials are still deciding where they’ll end up

May 21, 2007

Three bronze sculptures by Tom Otterness soon will be brought out of storage and shipped to Indianapolis, thanks to a private effort to raise money to buy the public art pieces that captivated the city in 2005. The roly-poly statues-with a total weight of more than 4,200 pounds-will be hoisted by art moving specialists, packed in crates and sent on their way, likely within three weeks. But what happens to them once they get here is still up in the…
