We, too, are looking at our alternatives. We will have to renew for one year, but the goal is to be off VMWare completely by June 30, 2025 and on to something else. Unfortunately we'll have to pay for VMWare and its replacement in the coming fiscal year. Julie Julie Ouska Vice Chancellor ...

I would say "it depends". All of our technology contracts have cyber and data security clauses along with accessibility clauses, so not a governance issue but a legal requirement. If we are talking about a system that might contain student data then there are also FERPA requirements. We don't do much ...

Theresa, Thank you for saying so well what I was thinking. I am not in favor of expanded state's rights into areas like abortion, discrimination, voting rights etc., because many states have a long history of legislation that marginalizes various populations of our citizens because they don't like ...

Colorado Community College Systems is a highly consolidated and centralized system of thirteen community colleges. Because our centralization was legislated in 2004, I suppose that we do not fit the model for IT "collaboration" since there was no choice and, to be honest, still isn't. However, it does ...

Frame your conversations in the language of the institution, not technology. So talk about business functions, student success, teaching and learning etc. Technology helps those areas and can be part of the solution but people really want to know about how they can teach better, how to help students ...
