Information Technology Planning Group: Operating Principles

Purpose: The Information Technology Planning Group (ITPG) is a standing advisory committee that reports to the President.  The purpose of the group is to provide guidance to, as well as monitor the progress of, College-wide information technology initiatives.  Membership is representative of the interests of faculty, staff and administration.

Membership: The ITPG consists of a member group that includes: faculty (representatives from each division recommended by the deans); administrators (one dean plus one representative from the offices of continuing education, administrative services, enrollment services and library) and support staff. The Executive Director of the Office of Information Technology is an ex-officio member who provides staff support to the committee.
2006-2007 Members

Leadership: The ITPG is chaired by the Vice President for Information Technology who has functional responsibility for leading the technology unit and implementation of the plan, with a representative of the academic area of the College Members can be appointed for two years with no more than 50% of the group turning over within a one-year period. This ensures continuity and outreach to the College community.

Subgroups: From time-to-time, the ITPG may form ad hoc committee to research specific issues (e.g., technology funding, acceptable use policy). In addition, there may be subgroup standing committees that are changed with coordinating technology efforts in specific areas (e.g., instruction, student information systems).  In all cases, groups working on technology-related projects should be connected to the technology planning structure.
