Strategic Initiatives
Recruitment and Retention of Faculty and Students
Many institutions of higher education are facing the challenge of finding ways to diversify their campuses. Colleges and universities in the United States are educating a larger and more diverse group of students than ever before. A diverse student body must be matched by an equally diverse faculty. Through our institutional commitment to the recruitment and retention of the best and the brightest, IU will continue to strengthen best practices, programs, and activities that promote the hiring of stellar faculty and enrollment of top students from around the world.
