Background
Information/Research Results
During the Spring of 2004, a draft planning document was prepared and submitted to President's Staff and to faculty and administrators. The size of the committee was set by President's Staff and nominations for participation were solicited. Almost 30 names were submitted for the eleven positions. A slate of names was approved by President's Staff that included representation across faculty ranks and divisions as well as administrative units.
Briefly summarized, the I.T. Master Planning process will involve five phases:
Spring/Fall 2004
1) Research: completed
a) master plans from peer and aspirational schools
b) industry literature on I.T. trends
2) Information gathering: meet with departments and hold
colloquy's to determine wants and needs during the next two to five years: in progress
3) Assimilation and organization:
a) assemble and organize information
b) create a draft plan to address wants and needs
Spring 2005
4) Community input on draft plan: meet with departments and/or hold general colloquy's to get feedback on draft document
5) Complete plan for review by appropriate bodies
At our May meeting, we put together a planning and strategy document to begin to focus our direction. The following were identified as key areas to be addressed:
Administration (computing in College operations)
Infrastructure
Student computing
Instructional and research computing
Computer support
Policies (This one might be absorbed into each of the other areas rather than standalone)
Security
E-commerce (using the Web to provide administrative services, perhaps combing with Administration topic)
