Minutes of the January 22 meeting were approved.

Kathy reported that the Cabinet approved the revised Student Acceptable Use Policy on January 30 and will forward it to the governance groups for a 30 day final review period.  If there is no feedback the policy goes into effect at the end of the review period.

Dave reported that the implementation of the new password policy for faculty, staff and students was going very well.  We are half way through the process and expect to be completed in April.

The Council discussed the 2006 ECAR survey of freshman and seniors on their use of technology.  Sue Keihn reported that her staff are reviewing the data with an eye toward modifying services to respond to students needs and preferences.  Students report high use of mobile devices.  Also students express an interest in having a balance of technology and non technology teaching methods.  UWGB students will have an opportunity to participate in the 2007 survey which will begin to provide some trend data in the future.   

The Council reviewed the mid year progress report on the IT 2007 Action Plan.  Of the 62 action items 24 had been completed, 1 was withdrawn, and the rest were in progress.

Next meeting:  March 5, 2007,  10:00-11:00am. 

The meeting adjourned at 10:55 am.

Respectfully submitted,

Kathy Pletcher, Chair
