University stable, focusing on future, McRobbie says

During the State of the University address today on the IU-Purdue University Indianapolis campus, President Michael McRobbie said despite the financial recession, IU has been stable and will look forward to future progression.

The President focused his address on six core areas including education, faculty, research, international engagement, science and health and economic development.

McRobbie said $7 billion will be committed to the repair and rehabilitation of old buildings
in Bloomington to bolster existing infrastructure, and the University will add two new health schools in the future, including one in Bloomington.

McRobbie also said he will continue strategic hiring and building and make strategic improvements to all campuses.
