Resources for Managing
Information Technology
in Higher Education

Indeed, roughly two decades after the first microcomputers arrived on college campuses, American colleges and universities
experience computer and information technology (IT) planning as a continuing challenge. Just under half of US colleges have a
strategic plan for information technology. Concurrently, more than 60 percent do not have an IT financial plan or a curriculum
plan for the role of Information Technology.   -John Casy, Director of Information Technology Services, Davidson College
