The State Seminary Act, passed by Indiana's General Assembly on January 20, 1820 to establish Indiana University.

Indiana University (IU) is a system of public universities in the U.S. state of Indiana.

Campuses

Indiana University has two core campuses, five regional campuses, and two regional centers under the administration of IUPUI.

In addition to its core campuses, Indiana University maintains five regional campuses throughout Indiana:[7]

Finally, there are two regional campuses under the administration of IUPUI:

The School of Medicine and the School of Social Work have degree programs running across multiple IU campuses.[9][10] Kelley School of Business, the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, the O'Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the School of Education have degree programs at both the Indiana University Bloomington (IU Bloomington) and Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campuses.[11][12][13] The School of Nursing has degree programs at the IUB, IUPUI, and IU Fort Wayne campuses.[14] The Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health has degree programs at the IUPUI and IU Fort Wayne campuses.[15]

Endowment

According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), the value of the endowment of the Indiana University and affiliated foundations in 2016 is over $1.986 billion.[16] The annual budget across all campuses totals over $3 Billion.[17]

The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is a not-for-profit agency that assists IU faculty and researchers in realizing the commercial potential of their discoveries. Since 1997, university clients have been responsible for more than 1,800 inventions, nearly 500 patents, and 38 start-up companies.[18]

In fiscal year 2016, the IURTC was issued 53 U.S. patents and 112 global patents.[17]

Athletics

Шаблон:Main

Both of the core campuses of the IU systems sponsor NCAA Division I athletic programs. The Indiana Hoosiers represent the flagship institution in Bloomington, and are founding members of the Big Ten Conference, where they compete in 24 different sports. The IUPUI Jaguars field 18 different sports, and have competed in the Horizon League since 2017; upon IUPUI's split into two universities in 2024, administration of the Jaguar's athletics programs will remain under IU Indianapolis.

Additionally, all but one of IU's regional campuses sponsors athletics within the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The IU Northwest RedHawks and IU South Bend Titans compete as members of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference, while the IU East Red Wolves, IU Kokomo Cougars, IU Southeast Grenadiers, and IUPUC Crimson Pride compete as members of the River States Conference.

Awards

Indiana University has three medals to recognize individuals.[20]

  • The University Medal, the only IU medal that requires approval from the board of trustees, was created in 1982 by then IU President John W. Ryan and is the highest award bestowed by the university. It honors individuals for singular or noteworthy contributions, including service to the university and achievement in arts, letters, science, and law. The first recipient was Thomas T. Solley, former director of the IU Art Museum.[20][21]
  • Indiana University President's Medal for Excellence honors individuals for distinction in public service, service to Indiana University, achievement in a profession, and/or extraordinary merit and achievement in the arts, humanities, science, education, and industry.[20] The first recipients were member of the Beaux Arts Trio on September 20, 1985.Шаблон:Citation needed
