This article is ten years old now, but I still think it's interesting. How does this apparent shift help IU and, more directly, the State of Indiana? What are the downsides? If the New Yorkers that enroll at IU leave the state immediately after graduation, what's the net positive for Indiana? To the extent the shift has adjusted the culture of the University life (and, while anecdotal, I suspect it has), is that a net positive or net negative? Is it simply a matter of the University driving revenue streams? If so (and that might not be the real driving force for all I know), doesn't that corrupt other missions? Anybody have any concerns our thoughts (pro or con) about this?
