Strengths:
Since 2001, minority enrollment at IUPUI has increased steadily. Today, IUPUI has the largest minority (headcount) enrollment of any IU campus. In addition, IUPUI has seen some modest improvements in retention and graduation rates for minority students over this time period. IUPUI also has programs in place to support the recruitment and retention of under-represented faculty and staff.
Weakness:
Although minority enrollment at IUPUI is growing and higher than at other IU campuses, enrollment levels remain below the proportion of minorities in the service-region population. In addition, retention rates for minority students are low, in some cases well below the rates for peer institutions. The proportion of faculty, staff, and administrators of color are low, and women hold a majority of clerical positions, whereas men hold a majority of administrative positions. Although IUPUI has programs to support the recruitment and retention of under-represented faculty and staff, the programs have few resources and the impact of the programs has been limited.
