Session Type: Full-Day Seminar
Professors, provosts, and presidents: What do they do? What do they want from IT? This workshop provides an introduction to the organization, structure, culture, and politics of institutions of higher education in the United States. Colleges and universities are complex, unique, and highly decentralized organizations. They have multiple missions (research and scholarship, teaching and learning, service to the community) and serve multiple clienteles (students, professors, the public). Designed for campus IT professionals who want to understand the nature of higher education in the United States, this workshop will focus on institutional demographics, roles, and decision making, as well as the impact of federal and state policy on colleges and universities. Join us for a fast-paced, comprehensive, and occasionally whimsical program.
