Governance of IUPUI
Constitution of the Indiana University Faculty
IUPUI Organization in the IU Context
Increasingly, some administrative functions of the eight campuses are centralized in offices located in Bloomington. An IUPUI Board of Advisors, comprised of community leaders in Indianapolis government, industry and nonprofit organizations, provides important guidance to the chancellor in aligning IUPUI's academic efforts with the needs and desires of the metropolitan area.
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education
IUPUI's highest-ranking official is the chancellor (who is also IU's executive vice president, IU's second-highest ranking officer), who reports to IU's president. At the campus level, the IUPUI Faculty Council plays a central role in providing faculty leadership and input into campus governance (a university faculty council – UFC – has representatives from all eight IU campuses; the heads of the IUPUI, Bloomington and Council of Regional Campuses are joint co-presidents of the UFC).
