Re: Do you have a CIO?

[Bob Kalal <kalal.1 () OSU EDU>]

At Ohio State we've had a CIO for about a decade. The position
started as a part-time assignment for an Associate Provost, then
developed into a separate full-time position. The CIO reports to the
Provost and serves on the President's Cabinet. The initial position
was established as a part of a major realignment of central IT on
campus. Over a period of time the central academic computing,
administrative computing, instructional technology and
telecommunications units were merged. Establishment of the CIO
position was one of the recommendations of the campus committee that
planned the reorganization.
