IT Progress Report Now Available

By Donna Justice

 
Since the Division of Information Technology's (IT) Five-Year Administrative Unit Review (AUR) was completed in April 1999, IT has made a great deal of progress in response to the report's 43 recommendations. The first annual Progress Report is now available online at http://it.ucdavis.edu/adminrev/prog2k.

The Progress Report outlines steps taken to fulfill the recommendations. Most notably, since the hiring of John Bruno, Vice Provost--Information and Educational Technology, in September 1999, several key posts within the Vice Provost's Office have been filled or are in active recruitment. Dr. Bruno has also initiated a realignment of services within IT and the creation of the Instructional Technology and Digital Media Center. These developments are in direct response to the recommendations made by the AUR Committee last year.

The AUR focused on five overarching themes: Academic Priorities, Delineation of Responsibilities, Institutional Ownership, IT as a Campus Policy Advisor, and Organization and Access. The initial IT response, which addresses all 43 recommendations, was presented to Provost Grey on July 7, 1999, and is online at http://it.ucdavis.edu/adminrev/AUR_Response.html.
