History


Founding

In 1968, Maynard K. Hine, dean of the IU School of Dentistry began working with then-Mayor of Indianapolis
Richard Lugar Richard Green Lugar ( ; April 4, 1932 – April 28, 2019) was an American politician who served as a United States Senate, United States Senator from Indiana from 1977 to 2013. He was a member of the Republican Party (United States), Republ ...
, IU President Joseph L. Sutton, Purdue President Frederick L. Hovde, and others to establish IUPUI in 1969 through the merger of the Indianapolis extension programs of both IU and Purdue. Some schools, however, were established before the merger, including the IU School of Medicine, IU School of Dentistry, IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law, IU School of Liberal Arts, and IU Herron School of Art. The student-run newspaper of the former IU extension campus, the ''Onomatopoeia'', and that of the former Purdue University extension campus, the ''Component'', merged in 1971 to form ''The Sagamore'', which operated until 2009. Archives are available online. That publication was replaced by ''The Campus Citizen'' in 2011.


Later history

IUPUI's research expenditures for fiscal year 2014 totaled $271,093,483 with the federal government as the largest sponsor of the research at 61 percent of the total. IUPUI CyberLab, a lab in the School of Engineering and Technology that provides research and intellectual support for the design, development, and implementation of innovative educational technology, was established in 1996 by

, ANGEL Learning, Epsilen, and the current project called CourseNetworking. In 2012, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education approved IU's proposal to create what is believed to be the world's first school dedicated to the study and teaching of philanthropy. The school has built on the strengths of the Center of Philanthropy at IU, a pioneer in philanthropy education, research and training. In 2013, the School was named the Indiana University Lilly School of Philanthropy in honor of the Lilly family's philanthropic leadership, as well as their profound contributions to education, research, and the well-being of society. In 2013, IUPUI opened a School of Public Health named in honor of Richard M. Fairbanks. The Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health will focus on the areas of urban health, health policy, biostatistics, and epidemiology. Paul K. Halverson was named founding dean of the school. The Office of Sustainability developed an IUPUI Sustainability Certificate for students.


Split

On August 12, 2022, the boards of trustees of both Purdue and IU announced that IUPUI would split into two separate universities, with completion of the split finished by the fall 2024 semester. The School of Science is now operated by IU along with its other programs, including business, law, nursing, and social work under

, a fully integrated extension of its West Lafayette campus. IU added a new computer science programs to its School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, and Purdue intends to open a branch of its applied research institute on or near the IUPUI campus, and plans to house several other programs in various locations throughout Indianapolis. IU will provide certain administrative services to both academic organizations, and the IUPUI athletic program will transfer to the new IU Indianapolis. In 2023, Purdue University created a separate tenure system called "University Tenure" for the IUPUI faculty affected by the split, which gave rise to concerns about unequal treatment and potential discrimination. The IUPUI Faculty Council said that IU President Pamela Whitten and Board of Trustees "undermined" shared governance.


Academics

IUPUI was one of nine campuses of Indiana University and one of five campuses of the Purdue University system. The campus offered more than 550 degree programs provided by 17 different schools, two of which are

schools. IUPUI had more than 3,800 full-time faculty members. With research funding of more than $629 million in 2024, IUPUI was the second-largest site for research in Indiana. IUPUI included the nation's largest nursing school, the main campus of the largest medical school in the country, the only dental school in the state, and the country's oldest school of physical education. IUPUI was among the top 20 campuses in the nation for graduate professional degrees conferred. IUPUI was primarily governed by the IU Board of Trustees. Purdue University degree-granting programs were governed by the Purdue University Board of Trustees. While integrated into the Indiana University system budget, IUPUI was semi-autonomous in that it retains some independent control of its own academic curricula.
