Bylaws Change

Taylor presented the following proposed changes to the Bylaws under Article III - Membership:

• Change Director, Office of Faculty enhancement to Director, Center for Instruction and Research Technology
• Add a new member to the UTC - the Chair of the Distance Learning Committee
• Add additional support staff to the UTC to include the Director of IT Security and the Director of Administrative Systems.

Taylor presented the following proposed change to the Bylaws under Article II - Functions:

• Add the word "student" to Item Number 1. It will now read as: "Provides advice and recommendations to the University's administration and to Information Technology Services (ITS) concerning IT strategic directions, operating policies, and student, faculty and staff IT needs."

A Motion to Approve these changes to the University Technology Committee Bylaws was moved by Dale Clifford and seconded by Lucy Trice. None opposed. Taylor will forward the revised Bylaws through the University's approval process.

Graduating Senior Survey Results

Taylor discussed the responses previously sent to the committee via email. Information Technology Services placed a question in the Spring Graduating Senior Survey that assessed the graduate's satisfaction with IT services that are provided on campus. The results showed that these graduating seniors were fairly satisfied with IT services, but expressed concerns about classroom technology and their access to knowledgeable staff. He also included a copy of the results based on College Comparisons so deans and associate deans could see how their college graduates rated technology.

Update: Content Management System

Tom Mills stated that the Content Management System bids are in and are awaiting a final committee vote and recommendation. Taylor stated that of the three (3) vendors that responded, one (1) was eliminated from consideration and the two (2) remaining were asked to submit best and final offers. These offers are currently being evaluated.

Report: Campus Technology Committee

No report.

Report: GOT

Deb Miller stated the GOT is meeting immediately after today's UTC meeting and will be setting their agenda for the Fall semester.

Report: IT Security Action Team

Durfee stated they are currently evaluating the Vista program issues and mobile device security issues.

New Business

Taylor stated two (2) new initiatives were brought forward by the UNF Athletics Department and Student Government Association regarding technology initiatives for communications. These initiatives include a text message service they would like to provide along with kiosk type displays for displaying information. He proposed that the UTC appoint an ad hoc action team that would look at the technologies and issues and then report back no later than our November 12th meeting. If possible, he would like initial report/recommendations back by the October 8th meeting. A copy of the proposed charge and proposed membership was handed out to the group. He reminded the group that this team is to look at the broader issues concerning the communication aspects and not to extensively research technology aspects at this time. He did note that additional representatives could be added to the action team and would like a member, possibly from Public Relations, to Chair. He also added Director of IT Security (Jeff Durfee) to serve as liaison between the Crisis Management Team and this action team.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m.
