Big Ten Academic Alliance’s annual report available

The Big Ten Academic Alliance, of which Purdue is a member, recently released its 2015-16 annual report, and it highlights how its member institutions collaborate to the benefit of all.

Previously known as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, the consortium’s name was changed to the Big Ten Academic Alliance in 2016 in order to better reflect the composition of the member institutions.

The newly released BTAA annual report details the collective power and progress of this enterprise, highlighting projects such as library collaborations that have resulted in space savings of over 73 miles of linear shelf space; a nationally recognized model for diversifying the professoriate; and strategic sourcing agreements that save Big Ten universities more than $15.7 million.
