IT Governance

The executive sponsors of the campus information technology governance structure established in January 2010 include:

U-M IT Governance councils and committees. (Enlarge)

• Philip J. Hanlon, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
• Timothy Slottow, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
• Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs
• Stephen Forrest, Vice President for Research

The governance structure is intended to:

• better integrate IT strategic planning with campus strategic planning
• set campus-wide priorities for IT services, resources, and facilities
• provide guidelines and support for similar determinations at the unit level
• make decisions employing a campus-wide funding model still under development that rewards cost-effectiveness and discourages non-strategic IT spending

Together, the various councils, committees, and domain stewards:

• serve as the collective stewards of campus-wide information technology strategic development
• represent the key areas of U-M's mission—teaching and learning, research, knowledge and patient care—across the campus
• oversee campus technology expenditures in support of U-M's core missions
• will strive to remove disincentives and institutional barriers to acceptance of shared services and infrastructure

Representation on the various councils and committees includes deans, faculty, IT staff, administrators, and students.
