Indiana University (the “University”) typically issues debt as a governmental issuer and may have 501(c)3 borrowing. Borrowing authorization allows financing the acquisition, construction, repair and renovation of physical facilities. Capital Finance is responsible for the bond issuance process and the related accounting, compliance and reporting on the debt.
