Re: IT Governance in Higher Ed

[Joanna Grama <jgrama () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Dear Carlos,
This information will not help you much at the immediate moment, but the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research is 
conducting research even as we speak about IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance issues at colleges and universities.  A 
survey of institutions is underway at the moment and will close at the end of this month.  The survey went to 
institutional primary representatives (those individuals that are named as their institution's primary contact with 
EDUCAUSE).  If your primary representative received the survey invite, please encourage them to complete the survey.

The research will help IT professionals benchmark their governance, risk, and compliance efforts by characterizing the 
state of each in the community. The research will also identify common areas of concern as well as transferable best 
practices and models.  We anticipate publishing the research in early June of this year and hopefully the research will 
address the question that you pose to the group.

One of the questions asked in the survey was for institutions to provide URLs for their governance, risk, and 
compliance websites.  Our hope is to make a resource available to all EDUCAUSE members with these URLS.  I anticipate 
that it is likely such a resource would be released in late spring/early summer.

Kind regards,
Joanna

All,



I'm gathering data regarding IT Governance in Higher Ed.  If your University has a formal IT Governance Program please 
share with me a link to your IT Governance website or provide me with a short description of your IT Governance program.



I will summarize and report the outcome back to the listserv.
