Get to know your administration

The IU administration is made up of over 100 administrative offices and services, each of which carries out a different task.  With so many departments, it’s hard to remember who does what. These are IU’s top three administrators, and here’s what they can do for you.

Michael A. McRobbie, president
McRobbie was appointed as IU’s 18th president by the IU Board of Trustees on July 1, 2007. As the president, McRobbie is responsible for each of IU’s eight campuses, which has an approximate total budget of $2.7 billion, more than 16,000 faculty and staff and about 100,000 students. 
McRobbie, a native of Australia, received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Queensland and his doctoral degree from the Australian National University.

Robel is the Val Nolan Professor of Law, and served as the dean of the Maurer School of Law from 2003-2011.
