Administrative support services, described in this section, include the central administration and all those offices which report to the Chancellor and the vice chancellors. The vice chancellors' offices include, the Executive Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculties, the Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education, the Vice Chancellor for Planning and Institutional Improvement, the Vice Chancellor for External Affairs, the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance. The offices identified in this chapter report to the officers listed above.

Recommendations from the Faculty Council and the Staff Council regarding policies and procedures are referred to the central administrative staff for necessary action. The Chancellor's designee to the Executive Committee of the Faculty Council is the Executive Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculties. The Chancellor's designees to the Staff Council are the Dean of the Faculties and the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance. These mechanisms provide two-way communication between the administration and the faculty and staff.

Student communication is through the academic units and the student government process, which is guided by the Office for Student Activities and Organizations on the undergraduate level and the Graduate Office on the graduate level. The Chancellor meets with IUPUI student leaders on a regular basis for communication on appropriate issues.

Faculty are encouraged to consult freely with the various support offices as needs arise.

Office of Academic Affairs:Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculties

The Office of Academic Affairs is headed by the Executive Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculties. The responsibilities of this office relate explicitly to IUPUI Campus administrative and academic matters, including some schools which report through the Office of the Vice President and operate on more than one campus.

The Office serves as the principal focus for academic planning and coordination of that planning with resource allocation; for faculty appointments, advancement, and development; for coordination of academic support services; and for support of faculty governance.

The Office provides leadership and supervision for academic support services necessary to the fulfillment of the academic mission of the campus, as well as administrative leadership for academic units and programs which cannot reasonably be accommodated in degree-granting units. Several of the many important offices in Academic Affairs are described below.

Faculty and Professional Staff Development Office

The Faculty and Professional Staff Development Office provides renewal opportunities for faculty via different means such as the annual events (New Faculty Orientation, Promotion and Tenure Workshops, E. C. Moore

Learning Symposium); internal grants for research, teaching, service, fellowship salary supplement, minority retention and recruitment, study in a second discipline, outstanding young faculty awards, research mentorships, first year experience, capstone experience, collaborative teaching; faculty awards for teaching, mentoring, service, and research; honorary degrees, titled professorships; workshops such as Technology Transfer, Learning Styles, Electronic Library, Preparing for the New Majority, Serving on Boards; and other ventures such as mentorships for new faculty, teleconferences, interdisciplinary studies, video dossier, new chair orientation, faculty field experience, and student creativity awards.

The Center for Teaching and Learning is operated under the auspices of the Faculty and Professional Staff Development Office, and provides

· one-on-one consultation on matters of pedagogy;

· staff and equipment support to explore technology-based avenues for teaching and learning;

· a research and development laboratory for faculty engaged in authoring software;

· an academic setting fostering research on efficacy of pedagogies used;

· an avenue to publish works by faculty to assist colleagues in their development.

In addition, the Center provides a special assistant to work with part-time faculty on professional development opportunities. There are several programs established to meet these needs. For more information contact the Office of Faculty Development or the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Office of General Education (OGE)

The purpose of the Office of General Education is to assist faculty of the schools at IUPUI with the development of a coherent general education program. The office will:

· facilitate communication among the schools about curriculum development and assessment activities in general education;

· coordinate the development of a coherent articulation of the Principles of Undergraduate Learning for the campus;

· serve as a clearinghouse for information about Faculty and Professional Staff Development, curriculum development, regional and national conferences, publications, and other resources regarding general education;

· be pro-active in working for the continued integration of the educational experience of all IUPUI undergraduates.

Office of International Affairs

The mission of the office is to support and develop IUPUI international programs and services, increasing participation of the University community in existing and new international intellectual activities in line with the academic programs of a model urban university. The goal is to achieve greater knowledge, experience, and sophistication regarding global interdependencies and academic collaborations. IUPUI's Office of International Affairs works closely with the Office of International Programs at IU Bloomington and helps coordinate centrally administered programs and activities for the IUPUI campus.

The activities of the Office of International Affairs include a broad spectrum of support service for the University's academic mission. OIA develops and coordinates international program opportunities with schools and departments. It gives logistical support for international visitors and provides administrative support of academic exchanges.

One of the primary activities of OIA is its technical services to foreign students/scholars and permanent residents. It processes admissions, credential evaluations, and credit transfer reports. It assures University compliance with federal immigration regulations regarding international education. In this regard, OIA provides visa documentation, employment authorization, extensions of stay, program transfer, health insurance. It also provides advisory services to schools, departments, foreign faculty, students, and scholars and permanent residents.

Technical services extend also to domestic students and faculty, particularly for study abroad information and advice for students at IUPUI. OIA also assists faculty in identifying international grant opportunities and information, and teaching abroad opportunities.

OIA initiates international programs which include study and project development abroad. It fosters exchange relationships with foreign institutions, including Universidad de Costa Rica, NIDA and Chulalongkorn in Bangkok, Vietnam National University Hanoi and Hue University in Vietnam, Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, and University of Oldenburg in Germany.

OIA gives orientation/information sessions and has a grant information collection. It gives administrative support for sponsored and cosponsored activities such as seminars, colloquia, conferences, and workshops.

OIA manages the IUPUI International House, the residential opportunity for American and foreign students and researchers.

An additional important activity of OIA is in the area of database development and management. This is very critical in a large institution such as IUPUI. OIA maintains a foreign student database which identifies population and origins. It monitors expiration dates for immigration documents, employment authorizations, program extensions, etc. Thus, the international interests of faculty and IU programs are better coordinated with computerized data in support of interdisciplinary cooperation for improved programming.

Research and Sponsored Programs

(Note: This office is currently under review and may be reorganized to meet future campus and university needs with regard to research and graduate learning.)

The Research and Sponsored Programs staff serves faculty in units reporting to the Chancellor. The staff assists faculty in obtaining and managing funds for research, education, and service projects. The office mission falls within the categories listed below.

-- Formulation and coordination of policy related to the allocation of University

research and other sponsored programs funds;

University Dean of University Libraries who resides in Bloomington and who exercises a developmental leadership role for Libraries throughout the eight campuses of Indiana University.

University Library

The University Library, designed by Edward Larabee Barnes, was dedicated in 1994 as a 21st Century resource for both the campus and the larger metropolitan and central Indiana communities. The staff of this integrated library/high technology center, located at 755 W. Michigan Street, is recognized for its leadership in exploring new roles in the Information Age for collection, organizing, preserving, and delivering information through the most innovative technologies available. At the same time it is committed to conserving the best of the past and enhancing effectiveness through the development of a team-based organization.

The goals of the University Library are 1) to improve and enhance the ability of IUPUI faculty, staff, and students to access and use information, 2) to support the development of printed, electronic and archival information resources, 3) to maintain leading edge technologies, 4) to support instruction and research, 5) to acquire books and journals, as well as access to databases, supportive of and complementary to the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of information in the collections of the professional school libraries, 6) to maintain a development program to provide significant external funding for library activities, 7) to continue to improve its management system, and 8) to enhance partnerships and provide campus and community leadership in the area of information resources.

The Library offers extensive professional reference service and access to printed and electronic collections in Indiana University collections and information resources around the world. A new initiative is participation of librarians in the development of Instructional Teams led by teaching faculty in collaboration with technologists, pedagogical specialists, counselors, and student mentors to enrich the learning experiences of IUPUI students.

The new University Library was designed to exploit an innovative information system, the most advanced of its type on the North American continent. With the recent devel-

opment and installation of a third generation automated catalog (IUCAT), faculty, staff, students and community members are able to access the resources of all of Indiana University Libraries in a web environment as well as the resources in research libraries around the world.

Through the University Library's 300 plus public workstations, faculty and students have at their fingertips a wide range of electronic resources, including an array of indexing and abstracting services and related full-text articles and a variety of CD-ROM and Web products available on the Internet. An interactive multimedia delivery system developed at IUPUI provides student access to videotapes stored centrally and delivered to the desktop through the activation of a robotic arm.

Special Collections at the University Library encompasses the Joseph and Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library, the Manuscript Collections, the University Archives, and Rare Books. The Joseph and Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library houses one of the world's largest and probably fastest growing collection of books, periodicals, dissertations, and audio visual resources on the subject of philanthropy. Included among a broad range of materials are books on social movement, ethical and moral issues, nonprofit organizations, religion in American public life, critiques of philanthropy across the political and ideological spectrum, fund raising, and philanthropy and education.

The Manuscript Collection contains significant primary sources for the study of philanthropy (including The Foundation Center Historical Foundation Collection, other records of foundations, nonprofit organizations, fund raising firms, associations, and individuals), and German-Americana (including the records of national and local organizations) as well as the records of organizations and individuals with ties to the University and the City of Indianapolis. The University Archives preserves the official records of IUPUI and its various predecessor institutions. Such materials as self-studies, oral histories, photographs, and publications provide an extensive resource for those interested in the history and unique structure of IUPUI. Rare Books preserves titles

from the 16th century to recent first editions, as well as faculty publications.

The mission of the Office for External Affairs is to enhance understanding and support among IUPUI's constituencies. These include faculty and staff, students and alumni, donors, community leaders, and other groups whose good will is needed.

Especially given its short history and its unique two-university partnership on one campus, IUPUI needs to project to its region the image and identity of an institution of public service offering education of high quality. IUPUI requires this reputation to gain enough human and fiscal resources to effectively serve the citizens of Central Indiana and the state. In consultation with IU's Vice President for University Relations and External Affairs, the Office also monitors changes in public opinion and emerging issues, providing counsel on likely responses to management decisions.

External Affairs staff and departmental functions include reporting and interpreting cam-

pus activities through the print and electronic media; interacting with community leaders, organizations, and elected officials in the region; involving alumni in recruiting and assisting students; obtaining contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations; offering intercollegiate athletics that enhance morale among students, alumni, and friends of the campus; and sponsoring special events, publications, marketing projects, and related programs of institutionally planned public communication.

The Office of External Affairs has recently been asked by the campus to coordinate an enrollment development effort. The initiative coordinates the work of all those in central and school offices engaged in student recruitment and enrollment. The focus of the initiative is on a marketing and advertising campaign and direct communications to potential students, ensuring that the campus presents a friendly atmosphere for potential students and their families, making campus enrollment services convenient and accessible, and implementing initiatives throughout the campus which will contribute to the development of student enrollment.

Several units report to or coordinate closely with the Office of External Affairs. Descriptions of their activities follow. Faculty members are encouraged to get in touch with any of these units for pertinent information or assistance.

Alumni Relations

IUPUI schools have over 87,000 alumni, most of whom live and work in Indiana. Their presence in the community and state presents significant opportunities to generate programs of continuing support.

These alumni have varied interests and needs, requiring the development of diverse activities and responses, such as joint projects for two or more schools. Alumni bodies of each school, however, continue to constitute distinct loyalties and constituencies, including professional orientations and participation. Alumni dues help to fund programs, which include publications, activities, and services, a major one being annual commencement ceremonies. Other programs seek to recruit volunteers for community services, to enhance

legislative funding, and to expand alumni association membership.

The staff of this office produces newsletters and other mailings for individuals schools and for the campus, plans and oversees programs that bring alumni to the campus, and assists other units in areas such as athletics, community relations, and student admissions. An alumni leadership group called the IUPUI Alumni Advisory Council has recently assisted in varied projects and in planning activities.

Communications and Public Relations

This unit has several functions, including media relations, coordination of campus publications, internal communications, and promotional advertising.

Media Relations Coordinators facilitate contacts with local and national newspapers, magazines, and radio and television stations. They also cooperate with the media by providing faculty experts who comment on news developments. They work with faculty members and administrators to develop news announcements and provide counsel on publicity and interviews with media reporters. Each Media Coordinator is responsible for services to assigned schools.

The Director of Graphic and Editorial Services provides school and units both consultation services and publication project coordination. In addition, a newsletter (Campuscape) is produced for all full-time faculty and staff. A Campus Information Center also advances internal communication and seeks to enhance campus visibility in the metropolitan area.

This combined unit has recently heightened emphasis on national news placement, on community outreach projects, and on live news presentations during special campus events. The unit also coordinates advertising and marketing activities, including corporate identity projects and development of materials by its Director of Campus Promotions. Several media training workshops for faculty and administrators also have been presented.

Community Relations

The Executive Assistant to the Chancellor coordinates activities aimed at strengthening and broadening support in the Indianapolis region. Responsibilities include organizing meetings of the IUPUI Board of Advisors and its subcommittees, encouraging community leaders' participation in campus events, expediting organization of a campus speakers bureau, and assisting faculty and administrators in connecting with the community. The Coordinator of Special Projects organizes special events and ceremonies designed to bring the community into interaction with the campus.
