University Technology Governance

The jmcomic漫画N University Technology Governance committees influence the strategy and priorities for the University technology initiatives in support of institutional planning priorities. They provide advice on means to: effectively implement jmcomic漫画 system information technology and information security, and accessible technology policies and standards; continuously improve technology infrastructure and services; improve data understanding and lineage; enhance teaching and learning using technology; and improve administrative services for students and employees.

Specifically, jmcomic漫画N University Technology Governance facilitates an on-going dialogue between jmcomic漫画N technical resources (including staff working in all divisions and auxiliaries) and our campus constituents to:

  • Maintain alignment between jmcomic漫画N technology priorities and the jmcomic漫画N Road Ahead plan and its strategic directions and priorities.
  • Provide advice on the effective and innovative use of technology to support jmcomic漫画N program needs for students, faculty, and staff, consistent with institutional planning priorities.
  • Plan and implement changes in technology infrastructure and services.
  • Manage risk through implementation and support of the information security and accessibility policies and standards.
  • Coordinate new and ongoing technology services within jmcomic漫画N鈥檚 decentralized technology staffing structure to avoid duplication of effort.
  • Assist with assessing the outcomes of the IT Road Ahead University technology strategy.

Standing jmcomic漫画N University Technology Governance committees advise the Executive Technology Steering Committee (ETSC), chaired by the Vice President for Information Technology/CIO.听听 The ETSC provides overall guidance and direction for the other committees, is advisory to the President and thus links university technology governance to the President鈥檚 Cabinet.听听 Standing university technology governance sub-committees advise the ETSC on particular technology domains including academic technology, accessible technology, student systems, employee systems, technology infrastructure services, digital strategy, innovation and data governance.听

Each jmcomic漫画N University Technology Governance standing committee will submit an annual report 听to the ETSC that includes:

  1. A list of the committee鈥檚 objectives for the past year;
  2. A summary of the committee鈥檚 accomplishments and contributions; c) any relevant attachments or supporting documents;
  3. Proposed areas of focus or recommendations for the next committee cohort to support continuity; and
  4. Any strategic issues, risks, or opportunities the committee believes should be brought to ETSC鈥檚 attention.

At the discretion of the ETSC, the University will continue to utilize ad-hoc technology working groups as the needs of the University evolve.听 Ad-hoc working groups advise one of the standing university technology governance groups on specific technology domains; current ad-hoc working groups include the Computer and Mobile Devices Committee, Classroom Technology Committee, and Portal and Mobile Applications Committee.

The Vice President of Information Technology/CIO will review the need for such communities of technology focus each year and make recommendations to the ETSC regarding any changes to their need and/or composition. The responsibilities and current membership for the ETSC, standing and ad-hoc committees are available at .
