Former ISU president to retire from Purdue
Former Iowa State University President Martin Jischke will step down next
year as president of Purdue University.
A Purdue rule requires presidents to retire at 65. Jischke turns 65 on Monday,
said university spokesman Joe Bennett.
Jischke, president at Purdue since August 2000, noted that the school is set to
complete a long-term strategic plan and recently completed the largest
fundraising campaign in its history.
Jischke went to Purdue from ISU, where he had been president for 10 years
