Distinctive foundations Deep involvement in international and area studies with a particular focus on languages and cultures Long-standing commitments to interdisciplinarity and to pushing the frontiers of knowledge Unique collections and remarkable cultural resources A beautiful campus in a quintessential college town A spirit of collaboration, cooperation, and community
What will IU be like in 20-30 years? Climate change Drop in school-age population Automation in the labor market Political instability Persistent economic and social inequality More students arriving with college credit
LRPC recommendations Implement a 3-4-5 plan instead of trying to block students from graduating quickly, encourage them to raise their aspirations and leave with a master s degree Consider a new core curriculum at the upper-level focusing on research (as a path to graduate education) More interdisciplinarity in graduate education changing financial models that encourage silos Life-long learning opportunities for staff, faculty, alumni, and the surrounding community Move from zero sum thinking to collective good
For discussion in 2018-19 Changing composition of the faculty impact on Research Teaching Service Administration Living conditions Long-term support for research
