THE CAMPUS COMPUTING PROJECT®

Conference Video

Colleges and universities currently spend about six percent of their total budgets on IT resources and services—hardware, software, services, and personnel—to support teaching and instruction, research, administration and management, and campus services. Yet new data from the 2011 Presidential Perspectives Survey conducted by Inside Higher Ed and The Campus Computing Project suggest that many presidents are ambivalent, at best, when asked to assess the effectiveness of their institution’s investment in IT. Green’s presentation draws on the Presidential Perspectives Survey and also Inside Higher Ed's summer 2011 survey of college and university business officers to discuss the challenges that campus IT leaders confront in their efforts to explain the impact and benefits of the continuing institutional investment in IT.
