  • The signed program transfer agreement is available on the Purdue University Board of Trustees page: https://www.purdue.edu/bot/meetings/past-meetings/2023/06.%20june%2014/Program%20Transfer%20Agreement%20IUPUI.pdf
  • Purdue University in Indianapolis will not officially exist until July 1, 2024, and no official offers have been extended yet to the 74 interested faculty members. 
  • There will be no job cuts or reduction in workforce.
  • Tenure will be honored, even though faculty tenure currently resides at IU.
  • Compensation will remain the same or higher.
  • Teaching duties and research support will not change.
  • Purdue University and IUPUI are two different universities, with different hiring and tenure standards. Purdue departmental votes on lifelong job security are based on the same standard as in any such Purdue departmental votes. The timeline will be the same too: Departmental votes are to be followed by college votes, followed by annual university votes (Feb 2024), followed by annual BOT votes (April 2024).
