Trustees at both Indiana University and Purdue University approved agreements on Wednesday that will effectively dissolve IUPUI on June 30, 2024.
Indiana is expanding the nation’s first school of informatics — the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering — in Indianapolis. IU Indianapolis will offer new programs, including in applied computer science, while pursuing significantly expanded student enrollment at the Luddy School.
Purdue University will assume responsibility for engineering, computer science, and technology as what they call a “fully integrated expansion of Purdue West Lafayette.”
Indiana University President Pamela Whitten says this agreement by the two schools will lead to a stronger Indianapolis.

“Informatics” is the EZ Bake oven of Computer Science. That’s why the actual Computer Science degrees are still coming from Purdue…
Regardless, both schools should pull out of Indy. With the direction the Mayor is taking, Indy will no longer be safe for innocent people.
