Responsibilities
The Office of Information Technology established an advisory group in October 2001 to assist and provide valuable feedback for shaping the technology-related support on campus. The Information Technology Advisory Group (ITAG) will enhance existing campus-wide information channels, communicating insights, advice, concerns, and suggestions to the Office of Information Technology and its respective units.
The group's purview will include all technology topics that promote the intellectual and educational mission of Ball State University such as user needs, privacy and security, instructional support, media development, and administrative support to name a few. It is our hope that ITAG will add an additional "user voice" for shaping technology support, policy, and direction on campus and a means by which information can be shared concerning technology's contribution to the mission of the university.
