Is there a funny way to say the acronym?--] 23:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


Now that it's 2024, we ought to discuss how we are going to structure the Misplaced Pages articles on the two schools. As I see it, there are two possibilities:
Yes, the acronym (IUPUI) is pronounced by many Indy locals as 'EwwiePewie'.


# Create two new articles, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University Indianapolis. Each of these would contain history of IUPUI that is relevant to the particular university, and the current article would contain only the history and other information pertinent to IUPUI pre-split.
*I've always heard it referred to as "eww-ee-poo-ee", never heard anyone actually spell out the acronym, and I've only heard the proper name once, in explaining what that funny word referred to. I'd have thought that the pronunciation was common enough to warrant inclusion in the article. --] 19:05, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
# Create one new article for Purdue University Indianapolis, as above, and change the name of the current article to Indiana University Indianapolis.
*In a significant change, the acronym is now referred to as I-Up-You-One.

No, the second sentence would not be accurate given that Indiana University (Bloomington) is also a research university. You cannot simply say "IUPUI is the research campus of Indiana University". Given that IUPUI is located in downtown Indianapolis, i think "urban research university" is fitting.

Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 6 August 2015 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

In looking through the list of alumni

I see Trischa Zorn, Law 2005, but on her page all it says about her university career is, "Zorn studied at the University of Nebraska, and, as of 2001, "teaches third and fourth graders with special needs in Indianapolis". Perhaps someone who actually knows (i.e., not me) can update her page. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

   This G-search for "Trischa Zorn, Law 2005" (where the quotes were included in the query) produces 5 hits:

Articles after IUPUI splits

Now that it's 2024, we ought to discuss how we are going to structure the Misplaced Pages articles on the two schools. As I see it, there are two possibilities:

  1. Create two new articles, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University Indianapolis. Each of these would contain history of IUPUI that is relevant to the particular university, and the current article would contain only the history and other information pertinent to IUPUI pre-split.
  2. Create one new article for Purdue University Indianapolis, as above, and change the name of the current article to Indiana University Indianapolis.

What do you all think? Are there any possibilities that I overlooked? Indyguy (talk) 22:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

The first option seems to be a lot cleaner and easier. It also matches my own perspective about what is happening - what is/was IUPUI is being dissolved and its resources divided that the two parent universities are using to make new campuses/locations. It's even possible that one or both of these new "institutions" may not even merit its own article - I spoke with a Purdue faculty member about this yesterday and he indicated that this will be some kind of extension of the West Lafayette campus with little independence so it's possible that the Purdue portion of not-IUPUI may end up becoming a small section in Purdue University. ElKevbo (talk) 16:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Wouldn't this (the under-emphasized nature the Purdue Indy campus) tip toward the second option proposed by @Indyguy? I think that the main history of the campus will be the story of one that once included Purdue, but was always (mainly) an IU campus. It would seem to me that retaining but renaming the current entry while noting the departure of Purdue is closer to what is actually happening. But ... I may not have enough distance. I'll be working for IUI soon. If it helps, see a similar discussion for the disolution of IPFW -- Jaireeodell (talk) 01:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
Satellite campuses often do have their own articles; see for example University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College and University of Cincinnati Clermont College. So a Purdue University in Indianapolis article is in order, especially since its history is much different than the main campus.
The main advantage of having a separate IUPUI article is that it's a place to put the pre-split history that wouldn't really be appropriate in an Indiana University Indianapolis article. There is a history section here and some opportunity to expand it. So I'd prefer the three-article plan. Antony–22 (⁄contribs) 01:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The IUPUI split is official on July 1, 2024

Hi all - I work for IU Communications and Marketing. The division of the two schools is complete as of today (July 1, 2024), and the new Indiana University Indianapolis website is now live, which may be helpful to your research. If you would like some general campus photos and the new logo, I am happy to get those to you.

If you have questions and want to speak with someone, let me know. Thanks! Ucmturn (talk) 18:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Ucmturn, thanks for offering to help. If you have photos that can be released under a Creative Commons or Public Domain license, that would be helpful. IU has many photos on its websites, but these are not available under an agreeable license. Misplaced Pages has a number of rules and policies that discourage using an IU website as a source for an entry about IU.
