Information Technology Council (ITC)

   

 

The focus of the Information Technology Council is on establishing strategic direction and overall governance for information technology at Emporia State University. As such, the focus will be to:

  • Develop and recommend strategic directions for information technology at ESU
  • Develop and recommend short- and long-term goals and objectives for information technology
  • Develop and recommend adoption of objective metrics for measuring progress towards goals and objectives and for measuring customer satisfaction with information technology services
  • Develop, review, and recommend adoption of information technology-related policies
  • Identify and recommend priorities for initiatives in information technology
  • Identify technology training needs and help initiate the training
  • Identify and recommend funding for new initiatives or advise reallocation of current resources to new priorities

The Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Chief Information Officer on topics and issues related to the above. It does not concern itself with day-to-day information technology operational or management issues. Those responsibilities reside within the appropriate ESU administrative structure in Technology and Computing Services.
