IT Matters! - A Panel Discussion from the EDUCAUSE 2007 Enterprise Conference

gbayne — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 17:48:26 -0500

In this podcast, we present a panel discussion from the EDUCAUSE 2007 Enterprise Conference, entitled "IT Matters!". The panel is moderated by EDUCAUSE Vice President Richard Katz and includes:

David Koehler, Director of Enterprise Systems, Cornell University

James S. Roberts, Executive Vice Provost, Finance and Administration, Duke University

Susan E. Thorin, University Librarian, Dean of Libraries, Syracuse University

When we get together at a forum like Enterprise 2007, it's a wonderful opportunity to interact with our colleagues at other institutions, hear from thought leaders on various topics, and compare solutions and approaches, but sometimes we forget to consider what brings us together in the first place. We all have a tremendous impact on how our institutions are run. In this session, a panel of higher educational functional officers will explain their perspectives on the role of IT and share how IT has transformed and will transform their business practices.

CALEA Update: Higher Ed Reporting Due Dates Announced

lgesner — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 17:55:55 -0600

Due dates for the two reports that must be filed by higher education institutions that must comply with CALEA (the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act) have now been announced. One report is due on February 12, and the other on March 12. EDUCAUSE has updated its CALEA resource page to describe the reports and provide additional information for those who must file, using attorney Matthew A. Brill, who has consulted on this issue for higher education, for expert advice.

It is important to note that not all institutions must file these reports. In fact, according to the earlier recommendations of ACE and EDUCAUSE most institutions do NOT have to comply with CALEA, and do NOT need to file the reports. EDUCAUSE suggests that member institutions’ primary representatives notify their presidents of this situation, since it is not recommended that an institution file the reports unless it in fact must comply with CALEA. For further information on the CALEA resource page.
