Background

The Campus IT Needs Assessment is a project initiated by Provost Duane Nellis, Vice President Tom Rawson, and Vice President Bob Krause to document “where we are today” regarding major campus information technology needs as we begin planning for the next generation of user-driven IT services at K-State. Provost Nellis appointed the Campus IT Needs Assessment Working Group during the Fall Semester 2007. The Working Group is scheduled to complete its work during Spring Semester 2008.

Goals

  1. Broadly engage the campus community through targeted focus groups and open forums in a dialogue regarding campus IT needs and services.
  2. Identify major campus community IT needs and the strengths and weaknesses of IT provided centrally.
  3. Recommend a first set of steps to align central IT services with the most pressing campus IT needs.
