Strategic Planning Looks Ahead to 2030 Year in Review 2012–13 University of Indianapolis 1400 East Hanna Avenue Strategic planning looks ahead to 2030 The entire UIndy family—including alumnus and trustee Murv Enders, right, and School of Business professor Terry Schindler—and members of the community spent months generating ideas to guide the University in its strategic planning effort. It’s all beginning to come together. Page 8. www.uindy.edu 1 About UIndy The University of Indianapolis consistently ranks among the top 25 percent of institutions of its kind in the Midwest. Founded in 1902, the University is today one of Indiana’s largest producers of doctoral graduates, and its reputation continues to grow regionally, nationally, and internationally. Home to stellar academic programs and student engagement in learning, leadership, and service, the University is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Why “1400 ” ? It all begins here at our home campus at 1400 East Hanna Avenue. ‘A new chapter in our history’ Jeannine R.

Manuel came to the University of Indianapolis in July 2012 from George- town University in Maryland, where he was associate provost and dean of the School of Continuing Studies. As a higher education administrator, first at New York University and then at Georgetown, he was recognized for the development and implementation of innovative programming—including graduate, undergraduate, online, and customized educational programs. In six years at Georgetown, Manuel revamped its only part-time bachelor’s degree program, launched nine new master’s degree programs, and increased enrollments in all programs by more than 200 percent. His emphasis on connecting the academic environment with corporate, nonprofit, and governmental organizations was the driving force behind the school’s success. As dean of Continuing Studies, Manuel was responsible for the overall management of the school, including all academic programs, the creation and maintenance of faculty and student cultures, administrative and financial oversight, new program creation, and industry/government engage- ment. One of eight degree-granting entities at Georgetown, the school enrolls more than 6,000 students across three locations—two in Washington, D.C., and another in Clarendon, Virginia. As Georgetown’s associate provost, Manuel was responsible for working with the leadership of the Center for Social Justice, Research and Teaching, the Diversity Action Council, the Veteran’s Affairs initiative, and the Senior Vice President for Research/Chief Technical Officer. Manuel earned a bachelor’s degree in history and political science from Allegheny College, a master’s in higher education administration from Syracuse University, and a doctorate in higher education administration from New York University. www.uindy.edu 5 Erika D.

DECENTRALIZATION OF METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT: REFORM IN INDIANAPOLIS In every city the people are divided into three sorts; the very rich, the very poor and those who are between them.... The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best in- stituted wherein these are a large and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate; so that being thrown into the balance it may prevent either scale from preponderating. -Aristotle, Politics, Book IV, Chapter XI, pp. 126-27. I. INTRODUCTION The local government of Indianapolis-Marion County, Indiana, has recently undergone a major reorganization. As of January 1, 1970, the Indianapolis city limits were expanded to the Marion County lines, and a new unified legislative and executive structure replaced the old city, county, and special district authorities.1 The enactment was prompted by many of the same problems facing all urban centers.
