This round of amendments fundamentally restructures Ivy Tech Community College's governance and creates a new statewide education-to-employment research program. The changes shift control over campus board composition from a nomination-based process involving campus boards to direct appointment by the state board of trustees, while also modifying Ivy Tech's statutory mission from meeting employer and workforce needs to the narrower focus of providing assessment and training services for citizens. A new mandate requires the Indiana economic development corporation to develop an education-to-employment research program by December 1, 2026, involving collaboration among the secretary of education, business leaders, and legislative representatives, with all deliverables to be published online. Several reporting requirements are repealed, including the annual campus location report to the budget committee, and Ivy Tech's authority to grant degrees is replaced with broader but more constrained program development authority subject to new oversight mechanisms.
