Policies
Computer and Network Use Policies are set by President’s Council. Most other I&TS policies are of an operational nature and are set & managed by I&TS Leadership Council or the service area directors. Development of a new IT/IS policy framework, including thorough review of existing computer and network use polices, is in process. For more details, contact Frank Moore at its@plu.edu.
Governance
I&TS strives continuously to align its services and resources with university needs. Determination of these needs is achieved in a variety of ways, beginning with close work with constituents and governance partners.
President's Council
- The Provost, through whom I&TS reports, is a member of President’s Council. Annual I&TS initiatives and a rolling 18-month plan (refreshed semi-annually) are submitted to the Provost and reviewed by President’s Council, the AIE Group (below), the Instructional Resources Committee, and other constituent bodies.
Instructional Resources Committee (IRC)
- The IRC is the principal faculty committee concerned with I&TS operations. Membership includes students and key administrators in addition to faculty. The committee’s charge can be found in the Faculty Handbook, p. 57.
Administrative Information Environment (AIE) Group
- The AIE Group, which includes campus executive leadership, provides overall direction for administrative information systems (e.g., Banner) that reside largely in I&TS Information Systems. The AIE Group administers the AIE Plan, a multi-year program for the AIE.

Data Administrators Task Force (DATF)
- DATF is the leading constituent (user) group for such administrative information systems as Banner. DATF meets weekly, communicates frequently, and, while administratively independent, works closely with I&TS Information Systems.
