Administrative Systems as Instantiations of University PolicyThursday, October 12, 2000 Mark C. Sheehan, ECAR Fellow, EDUCAUSE H. David Todd, Associate Vice President and CIO, University of Vermont Montana State University used the implementation of a new administrative information system as its opportunity to integrate an independent, four-campus administrative structure into a single environment, as had been mandated by its Board of Regents five years earlier. The additional stress generated by implementing new policy concurrent with implementing a new system appears to be a common complication for CIOs and policy makers. This session will describe how MSU dealt successfully with this in an 18-month implementation. (David Todd's contribution is a result of his former position at Montana State University.)
