Indiana University (IU) recently opened an international
gateway office in Beijing, China. The office now serves as
the university’s base of activities within the country. IU
president, Michael McRobbie, who dedicated the office,
also signed agreements with three of China’s top
universities.

3. As a consequence, IU’s Maurer School of Law is working
with the China University of Political Science and Law to
develop the Academy for the Study of Chinese Law and
Comparative Judicial Systems. The academy will facilitate
exchanges of research among the institutions’ faculty
members.
The other agreements are between IU and Tsinghua
University, and between IU and Beijing Sport University.
The latter partnership is seen as particularly vital, given
BSU’s stature in the world of sports. Numerous former
students and faculty of the institution have earned gold
medals in the Olympics.
