After closing the central administrative offices for the School of Continuing Studies at IU Bloomington in June, the IUS General Studies Program remains on campus despite the discontinuation of Non-credit Programs. The decision was made by an advisory board of deans after Indiana University allowed the eight regional campuses to continue some form of the programs. Gilbert Atnip, former vice chancellor of Academic Affairs, said the closure was a money-saving measure.

Gilbert Atnip, former vice chancellor of Academic Affairs, retired on Sept. 30 after working 37 years at IU Southeast. Atnip held the vice chancellor position for 22 years. “I decided to retire as soon as I became eligible,” Atnip said. Chancellor Sandra Patterson-Randles said Atnip’s position made him second in command.
