Trustees approve new fee assessment for
2003-2004 school year
Last week, the IU Board of Trustees approved a plan for an assessment
fee, in addition to regular annual tuition, for all incoming undergraduate
students in academic year 2003-2004. Funds raised through the fee
will go, in part, toward hiring new faculty and lowering the faculty-student
ratios on the IU Bloomington campus, and hiring more full-time faculty
and enhancing retention efforts at IUPUI and the regional campuses.

A room with a teraflop
Indiana and Purdue universities have linked
their supercomputers, via the Hoosier state’s I-Light, to create
the Indiana Virtual Machine Room, where a combined peak capacity
of more than one trillion operations per second (also known as a
teraflop) can be performed. The “room” will enable researchers
to perform massive new calculations, including the simulation of
"synthetic environments"-- applications that help to predict
how millions of people might react to situations ranging from product
marketing to natural disaster.
