IU President Michael A. McRobbie said Wednesday (July 1) he will move as rapidly as possible with a goal of bringing proposed tuition rates to the Board of Trustees in mid-July. Indiana law requires that public universities set tuition rates for two years immediately after the state budget is adopted. Proposed tuition rates must be announced for at least 10 days prior to being voted on by the Board of Trustees. McRobbie and university officials will be meeting over the next few days to finalize tuition recommendations for each campus and prepare a formal announcement for early next week. McRobbie said he appreciates the efforts on behalf of IU by so many legislators who helped put together the budget bill that was passed and signed into law by Gov. Mitch Daniels on Tuesday. "Indiana University is grateful for the hard work that went into getting this budget passed," McRobbie said. "We understand that these are difficult financial times for the state, and we are grateful for the efforts of all parties involved to ensure that higher education in Indiana is adequately funded. I want to thank the members of the General Assembly and the Governor for listening to our concerns and priorities throughout this process. This budget will allow us to continue providing an excellent, affordable higher education option for the citizens of our state." Although total state operating appropriations for IU's eight campuses were cut by 4.5 percent in fiscal year 2010 and another 1.5 percent in fiscal year 2011, lawmakers agreed to replace these cuts with a one-time allocation of federal stimulus dollars. Thus, total funding from state and federal dollars will create a net flat line at the same level as fiscal year 2009. IU received about $600 million in state support during the 2008-09 academic year, which represented about 23 percent of its overall $2.7 billion operating budget. Also, Indiana Innovation Alliance funding will total $10 million per year, with $3 million for expansion of the IU School of Medicine, $2 million for Purdue technology programs and $5 million for core research in the two universities. The budget includes capital project authorizations for six projects: $33 million for replacement of IU Northwest's Tamarack Hall $33 million for the Neurosciences Building Phase II at IUPUI $35.7 million for the Cyber Infrastructure Building Phase II at IU Bloomington $22 million for an Education and Technology Building at IU Southeast $10 million for life sciences laboratory renovations at IU Bloomington $10 million for life sciences laboratory renovations at IUPUI The budget also includes funding totaling $31.5 million over two years for repair and rehabilitation projects to existing buildings on IU's eight campuses.   Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/40_sq_mcrobbie 4589_h.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_mcrobbie 4589_h.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4082/IU-Press-Publishes-First-Book-on-IUKenya-Partnership http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4082/IU-Press-Publishes-First-Book-on-IUKenya-Partnership Indiana University Press has just published the first book on the IU-Kenya Partnership, author Fran Quigley announced last week. The Book, “Walking Together, Walking Far: How a U.S. and African Medical School Partnership is Winning the Fight Against HIV/AIDS,” is the first-ever book chronicling the historic partnership between Indiana University School of Medicine, Moi University School of Medicine and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, says Quigley. The book’s title derives from the African proverb, “If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together,” reflecting how the 20-year partnership has thrived over the long haul in the face of many health and development challenges. “This Indiana-Moi partnership is a model for how to tackle the huge challenges of HIV/AIDS and poverty in general, and one of the most inspiring examples of humanitarian partnership I have ever seen,” writes Jim Morris, former executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, in a statement promoting the new book. Formed in 1989 between the IU School of Medicine on the IUPUI campus and Moi University in Kenya, the partnership responded to the HIV/AIDS pandemic by establishing The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH), considered one of the world's largest and most comprehensive programs to combat HIV/AIDS. AMPATH treats more than 70,000 HIV patients at 18 sites across western Kenya, according to IUPUI political science Professor Scott Pegg, who with Butler University Professor David Mason, nominated AMPATH for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 and 2008. "Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to AMPATH would follow and promote a number of distinguished traditions within the history of the Nobel Peace Prize," wrote the professors in their 2008 nominating letter. For one, AMPATH "follows in the traditon of a long line of non-governmental organizations which have received the Nobel Peace Prize for their contributions to world peace and the fraternity between nations' that Alfred Nobel described in his will establishing the Peace Prize." "Walking Together "includes the story of the partnership’s beginnings, biographical background of AMPATH leaders like Sylvester Kimaiyo, Joe Mamlin, Bob Einterz and Haroun Mengech, a day-in-the-life of AMPATH workers and patients, and behind-the-scenes accounts of the birth of the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), AMPATH’s historic launch of door-to-door counseling and testing, and the dramatic story of AMPATH’s response to the Kenyan post-election violence of early 2008. "The reason this book is such an important contribution is that it is about a group of people who questioned received wisdom about what is possible in treating the destitute sick," Partners in Health founder Dr. Paul Farmer wrote in the foreword to  "Walking Together." "This is a book that should be read by every student of public health." "Walking Together" is available now through Amazon.com at www.amazon.com/Walking-Together-Far-African-Partnership/dp/0253220890/ref=sr_oe_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245989332&sr=1-1 The book is scheduled to be available at Indiana bookstores within a few weeks. All author proceeds support AMPATH’s work.   -  Fran Quigley contribited to this report.   Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/40_sq_walking.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_walking.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4080/Psychology-Professor-Wins-National-Award-for-Infusing-Diversity-Into-Teaching http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4080/Psychology-Professor-Wins-National-Award-for-Infusing-Diversity-Into-Teaching Leslie Ashburn-Nardo, an assistant professor of Psychology at IUPUI, has received a national award for her efforts to infuse diversity issues into the classes she teaches. “This is wonderful news, and we are very proud of her,” said Kathy Johnson, chair of the Psychology department in the Purdue School of Science. Ashburn-Nardo received the award from the Society for the Teaching of Psychology. The award recognizes faculty who have “effectively incorporated multiple cultural issues into their general psychology courses.” As a social psychologist whose research focuses on stereotyping and prejudice – particularly biases over which people have little conscious control, there are few who see the need as much as Ashburn-Nardo does to incorporate multi-cultural issues into their teaching. “Many of my students come from culturally homogeneous backgrounds, but I encourage them to appreciate diverse viewpoints,” she said. “Through subtle techniques such as using photos of people from a variety of ethnicities to illustrate concepts on slides I use in lecture—regardless of whether the concept is directly related to diversity issues—I send the message that people from every walk of life have valuable lessons to teach us.” Even when a class, such as undergraduate research methods, doesn’t obviously lend itself to raising awareness of diversity, Ashburn-Nardo works to include multi-cultural material. “Although my undergraduate research methods course does not specifically emphasize diversity as a primary course objective, I choose empirical articles that focus on stereotypes, prejudice, and stigma as examples of different research concepts.” Her efforts are appreciated by students. “More than once, African American students in these courses have approached me after class or during my office hours to thank me for not being afraid to talk openly about diversity issues and for using examples other than the “White folks pictured in the textbook.” Race- related issues have intrigued Ashburn-Nardo since her days as a high school student growing up in a “very integrated” small North Carolina town, where African American students constituted a slight majority in the high school she attended. “We didn’t talk a lot about racism, but you could see different cliques that existed along racial lines,” she said. Having had those experiences, she believes, made her more interested in race and diversity issues when she took classes in social psychology in college. Studying stereotyping and prejudice from the perspective of both the target and the perpetrator makes her somewhat unique. Usually, researchers study one or the other. Ashburn-Nardo’s work has focused on how prejudice affects people even outside their conscious awareness , shaping attitudes in subtle ways that many are surprised to discover have taken root in themselves. While one part of her research has to do with finding how these subtle forms of bias affect targets of prejudice, another element of her research has to do with how to reduce prejudice. Confrontation as a prejudice reduction tool has been emerging as an area of study, she noted. Most people associate confrontation with something bad or heated, but that is something of a misnomer, Ashburn-Nardo added. “Confrontation doesn’t have to necessarily be so confrontational,” said. “If someone tells an off-color joke, you can communicate that you think it was wrong to say even with a roll of the eyes.” Research shows that a relatively non-threatening confrontation can be effective in getting people to stop biased behavior, she said. “It won’t necessarily make them like the person who confronted them, but it is effective in getting them to stop.”   Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/40_sq_lan_office_oct2008.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_lan_office_oct2008.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4071/Kelley-Indianapolis-Evening-MBA-Program-Appoints-New-Leadership http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4071/Kelley-Indianapolis-Evening-MBA-Program-Appoints-New-Leadership An experienced finance professor at the IU Kelley School of Business Indianapolis has been named the new chair of the school’s Evening MBA program. Catherine Bonser-Neal, an associate professor of finance at Kelley Indianapolis with a specialization in international finance and economics, has taught in the Evening MBA program since she joined Kelley in 1996. Bonser-Neal is an award-winning teacher in the program, but she cites her devotion to the Kelley School and its Indianapolis programs as a factor in her decision to take on this new position. “I’m very honored to have an opportunity to serve the Kelley School in this role,” Bonser-Neal said. “I’ve been a part of Kelley Indianapolis for many years, and I’ve watched the Evening MBA program grow and develop in exciting ways.” Bonser-Neal, who officially takes over on July 1, said she looks forward to building on the program’s past successes to ensure the Kelley Evening MBA program’s reputation for quality and success continues to grow. As the job market remains arduous, she said now is an ideal time to evaluate the structure of the program to ensure its continued evolution. “MBA programs around the country, and indeed around the world, are facing many challenges; however, I think it has never been more important for students to gain knowledge and an understanding of how to operate in a global and competitive environment. The Kelley School provides students with those skills,” Bonser-Neal said. Bonser-Neal has an undergraduate degree from Indiana University and a master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Chicago. She has also taught at the University of Washington and at the Melbourne Business School, and she has worked as an economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the President’s Council of Economic Advisors. She is a native Hoosier and said she returned to Indiana to work with Kelley’s talented faculty and students and because she appreciates the people, the talent, and the opportunities the state has to offer. Bonser-Neal replaces Phil Powell, a business economics professor at Kelley Indianapolis who recently was named chair of the MBA program on the Kelley Bloomington campus. She credits Powell for implementing successful policies during his tenure and said she plans to see that the program continues on its path of growth and innovation. “I want to ensure the design of the program is meeting the needs of those who aspire to be global business innovators and leaders in the 21st Century,” she said. “No program can stay totally stagnant, and to ensure our students are globally competitive means we need to stay ahead of the curve.” For more information, please visit www.kelley.iupui.edu or contact Dave Hosick, coordinator of communications and media relations with the IU Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, at 274-6856 or dhosick@iupui.edu. About the Kelley School of Business Indianapolis Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business has been a leader in American business education for more than 80 years. With an enrollment of more than 4,800 undergraduate and nearly 2,000 graduate students, it is among the premier business schools in the country. The school’s Indianapolis academic unit, Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, is located on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus and is home to the school’s Evening MBA, Master of Science in Accounting, and Master of Science in Taxation programs and a full-time undergraduate program.     Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/40_sq_cneal.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_cneal.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4070/IU-Campuses-Will-Remain-Open-Even-Without-a-New-State-Budget http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4070/IU-Campuses-Will-Remain-Open-Even-Without-a-New-State-Budget All Indiana University campuses will continue to operate under their existing budgets after Tuesday, June 30, if there is no state budget enacted for the new fiscal year. Summer classes will continue and employees will continue to be paid. The authority to continue operations was approved today (June 26) in a special meeting of the IU Board of Trustees Finance and Audit Committee, chaired by Trustee Thomas E. Reilly Jr. The resolution allows IU campuses to continue operations and expenditures under current budgetary authority until a new state budget is in place and IU trustees are able to adopt a new university operating budget. The action ensures that IU's 17,000 employees will continue to receive paychecks on time and vendors will continue to be paid for goods and services. Neil Theobald, vice president and chief financial officer, said IU would have about $200 million to $300 million in cash reserves that could be tapped for continuing operations in July and August, if necessary, if the university does not receive its normal allocations of state support. IU received about $600 million in state support during the 2008-09 academic year, which represented about 23 percent of its overall $2.7 billion operating budget. Indiana lawmakers have been meeting in special session since June 11 in an effort to complete a biennial budget for 2010-12. Theobald said that IU will have to delay mailing tuition bills for the upcoming fall semester for several weeks because the university is unable to calculate tuition rates and student financial aid offers until it knows how much state support it will receive. Once a new state budget is adopted, it will take about 10 days for IU trustees to set tuition rates and approve operating budgets for the 2009-10 academic year. - From IU News Room   Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/40_sq_tom reilly campus open photo.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_tom reilly campus open photo.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4069/ProjectBased-Learning-Institute-to-Emphasize-Learning-by-Doing http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4069/ProjectBased-Learning-Institute-to-Emphasize-Learning-by-Doing Educators from across Indiana will have a chance not only to learn more about project-based learning (PBL) but develop their own PBL plan during a 3-day workshop starting Monday, June 29, at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis. “Learning by Doing: Project-based Learning Institute for Middle and High School Educators” is sponsored by IUPUI, the University of Indianapolis and its Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. The idea came from planning team members Beth Berghoff, graduate chair and associate professor of language education, and Joy Seybold, director of the Transition to Teaching program and chair of secondary teacher education at the IU School of Education at IUPUI. Both say the growth of New Tech High programs throughout the state, which use PBL as a basis for learning, made the need obvious. “We started having more and more requests,” Berghoff said. The workshop will also help introduce PBL to schools that might not be able to afford a complete transition to a New Tech model. “So using the project-based learning keys with teachers still allows the schools to push forward a more engaged, inquiry-based approach to learning,” Seybold said. “That’s why we thought this institute would be helpful. Obviously, there are lots of teachers and schools across the state who want to know more.” The institute begins with two sessions led by Michael McDowell, the school development coach at the New Technology Foundation, the California-based organization that promotes and teaches about the New Tech model. McDowell will then help lead work sessions throughout the institute during which attendees will develop a project-based learning unit. Berghoff said organizers will give participants an “entry document” that serves as a starting point to developing their unit. She said facilitators will essentially treat participants as students by giving them a target and presenting the challenges and problems in the way of reaching the goal. “At the end of these 3 days, we want you to have a plan for how you’re going to collaborate,” she said of the participants. “We want you to have an assessment tool developed. So if they’re brand new, it will be learning how to do that. And if they already have experience, it will be starting with a unit that they want to work on and actually create that unit.” The intensive program is designed to provide assistance to educators at all levels of learning about project-based learning. “We basically have 3 programs running at the same time,” Berghoff said. “There’ll be a program for beginners—those people who feel they need the nuts and bolts. Then there is a strand for more advanced people who have already been doing it and want support in planning units. Then we have a strand for administrators and people who are more in support roles.” Individual sessions throughout the institute will focus on certain aspects of project-based learning, including creating tools for assessing student learning and using educational software to support the program. Although organizers expect hundreds of participants, on-site registration is available. More about the program is available on the IU School of Education at IUPUI website at http://education.iupui.edu/soe/institute/index.aspx.   Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4068/University-Library-Receives-Grant-to-Make-More-Hoosier-History-Accessible http://newscenter.iupui.edu/4068/University-Library-Receives-Grant-to-Make-More-Hoosier-History-Accessible IUPUI University Library, in collaboration with Conner Prairie, received a Library Service Technology Act (LSTA) digitization grant for over $11,000 to create the museum’s newest online digital collection entitled: “Conner Prairie’s Traditional Crafts: Preservation and Reproduction.” The digital collection will make more of the organization’s resources accessible online to the public, especially Hoosier K-12 students. While the collection will highlight artisan crafts such as pottery making, arms making and blacksmithing, it also emphasizes the role of museums in preserving age-old skills through teaching, reproduction and research, explains David Lewis, dean of the University Library. Over the next12 months, the library’s Digital Libraries Team will use 3D imaging technology to photograph approximately 85 artifacts from the collection at Conner Prairie. Most of these objects date back to the 1800s and are extremely fragile The library team will also scan archived editions of Conner Prairie’s “Voice of the Hammer” and “The Art and Mystery of Blacksmithing” publications for inclusion in the collection. The addition of three short videos, featuring artisans demonstrating and talking about the history of their craft , will make the digital collection a comprehensive online resource. The University Library will also collaborate with the School of Education at IUPUI to create K-12 standards-based lesson plans and evaluation/assessment components for the collection, making it a valuable teaching aid for classroom instruction. “Conner Prairie is pleased to join with IUPUI University Library on our third collaborative effort. We appreciate the opportunity to continue our excellent and mutually beneficial relationship with the University Library by fully committing our efforts to the Conner Prairie Traditional Crafts Project as part of the LSTA Grant,” says Tim Crumrin, Deputy Director, Museum Experience at Conner Prairie. In the past, University Library has worked with Conner Prairie to digitize the museum’s collection of quilts, coverlets and sampler and most recently its historical clothing and textile collections. The historical clothing collection will become available on-line in July 2009. Located at 755 W. Michigan Avenue in the heart of the IUPUI campus, the University Library is a public library, serving the people of Indiana as well as the university population. Any resident of Indiana is eligible for an IUPUI University Library card.

The Cost of Control study, issued this week, is the first global study investigating the issues impacting finance and procurement. The research is supported by Mark Frohlich, associate professor of operations management at Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, located on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus. The research was released by Basware, a global leader in purchase to pay solutions. The study reveals chief financial officers at the 550 companies examined are failing to recognize the importance of managing supply chains through procurement, despite the hazards of the economic recession. Only 28 percent of respondents saw procurement as having a significant impact on financial risk exposure. “Businesses today are defined by their supply chains and some of the high profile business failures of the last 12 months point to this as a root cause,” Frohlich stated in a Basware news release. “Finance departments across the globe have been guilty of ignoring the real value that their procurement teams can bring to the financial health of their organizations for decades now, so there is real truth to the suggestion that CFOs aren’t making the most of what can be an invaluable asset in the fight against the recession,” Frohlich added. Frohlich also noted his concern that only 27 percent of respondents consider that procurement has a positive effect on enterprise profitability, which indicates a view that supply chains are not seen as a significant factor for bottom-line performance. Frohlich's teaching at IUPUI  focuses primarly on operations strategy, process improvement, program management and supply chain integrations,. His previous teaching positions include assignments with the London Business School, Boston University’s School of Management and Oxford University’s Said Business School. The study found less than half of respondents see any level of integration between procurement and finance teams, representing a departure from past business models. Ari Salonen, Basware’s general manager for North America, issued a statement saying the level of disconnect between finance and procurement departments is alarming. “There should be a sense of trepidation on both sides of the fence when reading the results of this study,” Salonen stated. “While heads of finance everywhere are looking at how they can bring greater security and stability to their organizations, they seem to be missing a major piece of the puzzle in overlooking the procurement teams as a major strategic advantage.” Basware recommended a more transparent model for company spending to improve efficiency and return on investment. The study was conducted for Basware during May 2009 and evaluated responses from 550 financial executives from across the globe. Each responding organization had 1,000 to 50,000 employees.

The IAT is a research facility within the School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. The institute unites related academic programs with the faculty, editing specialists and research holdings of four centers: the Peirce Edition Project, the Santayana Edition, the Frederick Douglass Papers Project and the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies. Professor Pfeifer, who holds a doctorate from the University of Illinois, has been an IUPUI faculty member since 2005. He came to IUPUI because of the Peirce Edition Project, considered the premier place to study the writings of Charles Sanders Peirce. “As a student of Max Fisch, an early director of the Peirce Edition Project, I have spent much of my philosophic career working on Peirce’s religious thinking,” said Pfeifer. “The opportunity for me to do in depth research at the institute was wonderful. What started as a one-year visiting appointment has extended into this fifth year with this great opportunity to be of service to the Institute for American Thought and IUPUI.” Since 1998, Pfeifer has served as managing editor of The Press of Arisbe Associates, editing the last three volumes in the monograph series “Peirce Studies” including “Charles Peirce’s System of Science.” “It really is an extraordinary stroke of good fortune for us to have David Pfeifer here at this moment,” said Bill Blomquist, dean of the School of Liberal Arts. “We could hardly have hoped to find someone with his combination of academic expertise and administrative experience for this position. I’m very pleased that he is taking this leadership role with the institute.” Pfeifer will succeed Professor Jonathan Eller, who assumed the directorship in July 2008. Pfeifer teaches logic, introduction to philosophy, and American philosophy. He will continue to offer courses while he directs the institute. Before coming to IUPUI, Pfeifer was on the faculty and an administrator at Principia College in Elsah, Ill. His 31-year career at Principia included service as acting dean of the faculty and a seven-year term (1989-1996) as the institution’s president.   Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/40_sq_pfeifer.jpg http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/200_pfeifer.jpg
