A commitment to faculty success

The Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs strives to create an environment where faculty at Indiana University Bloomington can flourish.

We provide a wide range of resources for faculty—from recruitment to retirement—with the aim of developing faculty careers, enhancing productivity, and cultivating academic leadership. We also define faculty rights and responsibilities on the IU Bloomington campus, and work to foster a nurturing campus climate.
