I provided some short answers below, but I wonder if there may be another approach to this that would yield deeper insight into the questions posed. I think these are great interview ...

Spectrum mistakenly terminated a link to two of our key offsite campus locations on Friday morning. We have had no luck reaching them on this issue. Any info on POCs we can reach out to at Spectrum/Charter would be greatly appreciated. Curtis Get Outlook for iOS

Greetings. I was wondering what people are using and would recommend as a grants management system for a small/medium-sized university (about 3,600 Student FTEs). We are on Banner but the grants module was not up to handling the requirements of our grants area. Thanks Curtis Curtis White (he/his/him) ...

Good question Anne.

Len, I'm thinking about where Registrars go after HE and think you may have some options with either the key HE service providers (Tambellini, SIG, Ellucian) or one of the research providers that have a HE practice (Gartner, InfoTech Research Group, Huron Consulting). I would reach out to my ERP provider ...

Chris, We moved from the traditional CATV with Spectrum in the residence halls to Spectrum U across campus in 2019. Our three year contract for Spectrum U ended this past August and we put some of the funding into increased bandwidth and Internet redundancy. This was received well by our community. ...

RE: Supporting Remote Work

Found In Egroup: CIO \ view thread
I agree with David's points on this. While it is very tempting to just give an annual stipend and some general parameters for the device they must have, you should keep remote and on-campus employees under the same computer equipment and refresh model. If the university provides the equipment, you can ...

Thanks for the question Vin. I was very happy when my prior institution went from owning and managing cell phones to issuing stipends – what a relief! This was in place when I arrived at St. Mary's and the area supervisor makes the request and the area VP approves it. Stipends range from $30 to $60 per ...

Thanks Gene and I'm pleased you hit on the budget aspect. We do the same here and look at the aggregate budgets for the overall IS department. If one unit is over their budget for a special project we can balance that out with the others areas being underbudget. This gives us a degree of flexibility ...
