The Honorable Anthony J. Principi
Chairman
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission
2521 South Clark Street, Suite 600
Arlington, VA 22202BRAC Commission
JUL 2 12005
ReceivedDear Chairman Principi:
As Chancellor of Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis (IUPUI), I am
writing you in strong support of the recommendations of the United States Department of
Defense to the Commission regarding consolidation of Defense Finance and Accounting
Service (DFAS) employees to Indianapolis. IUPUI is a world-class research and teaching
university that stands ready to assist DFAS through a consolidation of employee positions
here.
IUPUI was formed in 1969 as a partnership between Indiana University and Purdue
University in downtown Indianapolis. It has grown to over 29,000 students in 185 academic
programs, including the Indiana University Kelley School of Business and Indiana University
School of Public and Environmental Affairs. In addition to degree programs, we have a strong
continuing studies program called the Community Learning Network. The CLN offers more
than 900 continuing education classes to over 11,000 non-degree students every year,
including a certificate program in accounting. We are well-positioned to provide continuing
education and graduate professional degrees as well as baccalaureate education in support of
the DFAS work force.
The expansion of DFAS-Indianapolis provides an important partnership opportunity
for IUPUI. It comes at a time we are aggressively increasing our partnerships with the
business and governmental communities. We have created the Solution Center to facilitate
student internships and provide a single point of contact to the campus. The DFAS expansion
would increase opportunities for student internships and job placement.
In turn, IUPUI is an important resource with critical strength in business and
information technology, as well as being one of the nation's leading producers of health and
life science degrees (we are home to Indiana's only medical school and only dental school). If
we can provide assistance to DFAS please contact us. I would be happy to arrange a meeting
between any Commission members and/or DFAS at the appropriate time to discuss ways
IUPUI can assist.If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss this further, please contact
Sincerely,
Charles R. Bantz
Vice President for Long-Range Planning
and Chancellor of IUPUI
