Wasn't *my* idea.  In fact, one of the reasons that VT went the route of
becoming a "charter university" (i.e. a much more autonomous entity than
most state agencies) was because we don't trust the crew at VITA (Virginia
IT Agency) to understand IT.  We *finally* were able to stop sending
them payroll data every 2 weeks.  On tape.  The 10.5" reel-to-reel variety.

Within the past 6 months.

And VITA is the agency that all this data would probably be submitted to....
