Key Points for Realignment This is a “Change in Organization” PFW remains an independently accredited regional institution managed by Purdue WL just as IPFW was prior to the changes Purdue WL has always been the institution with managerial oversight for IPFW – this does not change HLC has allowed academic programs (consistent with IPFW Management Agreements) to be moved between Purdue and IU throughout our history This transaction differs as health sciences programs move solely under IU management and control as an “additional location” of IUPUI. The degree granting authority for PFW is expressly granted to Purdue in both the state authorization and the Program Transfer Agreement - this authority extends to degrees not historically granted by Purdue (e.g. Music). This is possible, in part, as a result of our status as an Independently Accredited Regional Institution.
