Eugene R. Tempel, executive director of Indiana University’s Center on Philanthropy, announced today he is leaving his job to become president of the Indiana University Foundation, the fund-raising arm of the public institution.
Mr. Tempel replaces Curtis R. Simic, who is retiring, according to a university news release.
Mr. Simic spent 20 years at the helm of the university’s foundation, where the endowment grew from $214-million in the 1988 fiscal year to $1.6-billion today.
Patrick M. Rooney, director of research at the philanthropy center, will serve as interim executive director while the university conducts a national search for Mr. Tempel’s successor.
