“IUPUI’s realignment will create a transformational change across Indiana‘s landscape and far beyond. As Purdue and Indiana University—two of our state’s globally competitive universities—continue to focus on their individual strengths, they will also now create an epicenter for research and a training ground for future-focused innovative fields to ensure students are ready for the modern-day economy. This bold move will ensure Indiana is a leader in developing the workforce of tomorrow and attracting more companies to Indiana that are on the brink of cutting-edge discovery. Congratulations to President Daniels and Whitten for keeping Indiana’s trajectory straight up.”
“As a university, a research institution, and a frequent civic partner, IUPUI has become a foundational Indianapolis resource. Today, as it evolves to meet the needs of a rapidly approaching future, I am confident that reputation will only deepen for residents.”
“The leaders of the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership’s innovation-driven corporations salute and celebrate the truly good news of a new day for both Purdue University and Indiana University in our capital city. With this announcement, and the exciting proposals for each university to build an expanded, focused and complementary world-class, STEM research presence in downtown Indianapolis, we join the ranks of other great regional R&D hubs across the United States, featuring major research institutions located in urban centers to collaborate with industry and to drive our best possibilities for future growth.”
“Today, Indiana University and Purdue University initiated strategic and collaborative steps to reimagine the potential for higher education and research in Indianapolis, our state’s capital. I am confident the vision being contemplated will provide transformative opportunities for our citizens, employers, and state.”
“Over 50 years ago, state and city leaders called for the creation of a world-class research university in Indianapolis because they knew it was vital to the economic growth of the region. That's still true today, and I’m fully supportive of these changes which will fuel the next wave of growth for the campus, Indianapolis, Central Indiana, and our state. I look forward to supporting this important initiative in the next legislative session. It’s my hope that our thriving business and corporate community also steps up their support of this critical initiative that could be a major force behind Indiana’s talent pipeline for years to come.”
