INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University and Purdue University are officially parting ways after a 53-year partnership.

IUPUI will be separated into two schools beginning in 2024.

The agreement states the schools will separate to become Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis.

IUPUI will officially end on June 30, 2024.
