  1. Approval of Minutes:
  • The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from October’s meeting.
  1. Technology Master Plan Update (formally discussion item #3)
  • Andy questioned the matter of how new IT equipment has been and currently is funded for projects.
  • Per Bill Devine, if equipment is/was used campus wide, IT would pay out of own budget. If the equipment is/was for personal use, (faculty) equipment is/was purchased from the faculty’s own budget.
  • Per David Reynolds, some equipment was grant funded since the same equipment was used for special tech. needs. For other tech needs, Instruction likes the idea of a written process to help spell out future funding needs/resources.
  • Andy will look into increasing awareness for Dr. Daniel, Amanda, and Mark W. to provide more funds for technology replacement every five years.
  • David Reynolds interjected that faculty should not have to need to worry about new equipment purchases, especially if a faculty member is new. Technology purchases should be made by Instruction, not faculty’s own budget.  All faculty technology tools should be on same level too, not specialized.
  • Andy will follow-up with Mark W. on funding topic and report back at next ITC meeting. in December.
  • Andy asked the committee members for ideas of the new Tech. Master Plan.
  • Bill Devine advised Andy to obtain input from Division Chairs.
  • Oleg mentioned the Strategic Planning Committee as a good source of input.
  • Andy will give/send committee members copies of the master plan to review. There will be a one-time, half hour meeting to discuss the plan at a later date.
