Numerous Indiana University employees will move to Purdue as the institutions dissolve their joint venture in Indianapolis. But many faculty members worry they’ll be left without tenure or a departmental home.

The mutually agreed-upon divorce would make both institutions stronger, officials proclaimed, and IUPUI faculty leaders believed at the time that jobs would be preserved amid the split.
