History of IT Advisory Committee

As a recommendation from the Chancellor’s Study Group, IT was called to “Establish a stakeholder group with broad representation from directors and students and a process to periodically evaluate performance.” Members of the CSG IT Implementation team convened to initiate this plan, including: Anne Milkovich, Brandon Heise, Jakob Iversen, Karl Loewenstein, and Ricky Johnson.

The purpose of the new stakeholder group was to:

  • Inform IT leadership of needs, concerns, and priorities.
  • Advise IT leadership on institutional issues involving IT.
  • Assure transparency of process.
  • Assure relevant input from shared governance group on campus.
  • Monitor the balanced scorecard metrics to evaluate and advise IT on institutional performance.
  • Provide communication channel between IT and constituents.

As a result of the team’s efforts, the new IT Advisory Committee (ITAC) was designed and charged, consisting of a large committee with broad campus representation led by a smaller ITAC Steering Committee.
