Technology Council - Minutes
Thursday, September 9, 2004

Present: Steve Dutch, Frtiz Erickson, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Scott Hildebrand, Fergus Hughes, Sue Keihn, David Kieper, Kathy Pletcher, Adam Ruechel, Dean Rodeheaver, Joyce Salisbury, Tim Sewall, Jan Thornton.
Not present: Sharon Dimmer Art Lacey

The meeting was called to order at 9:30 am. New members of the Council were introduced: Steve Dutch, faculty representative, and Interim LAS Dean Fergus Hughes. Minutes of the May 4, 2004 meeting and the 2003/04 Annual Report of the Technology Council were approved by consensus.

The Council reviewed the first draft of Technology Plan 2010 and agreed both the format and the content provide a good framework for planning. There was general agreement that Section IV on the “Current Technology Environment” was long enough and we should not include departmental applications. An Appendix could be added if the information is deemed important to the campus planning process. The key to developing objectives for the future is completing the section on “Current Trends and Future Directions in Higher Education.” This section will outline the technology issues that should be addressed by the campus over the next five years. We will seek broad input from faculty, staff and students through open forums, governance group meetings, department meetings and through a public web site. We will gather input in October-November and continue redrafting the plan based on input. Objectives will be developed by the Council with opportunity for feedback from constituent groups. The goal will be to deliver a plan to the Provost in December for review by the Cabinet during the budget planning process in February-March. Colleen agreed to develop some questions that could spark discussion in the open forum. Other members of the Council agreed to solicit input from their constituency groups and provide feedback to Kathy for the plan.

There was a discussion about irritating things in the PeopleSoft student information system. We agreed it was better to deal with SIS separately rather than to roll it into the technology planning process.

Future meetings will be on Mondays at 10 am on October 4, November 1, and December 6.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30

Respectfully submitted
-- Kathy Pletcher
