The Management Information Advisory Committee (MIAC) has been created to develop strategy and policy proposals for information management across all University systems that store or process institutional information.
It should meet as needed through the late spring and the summer prior to budget development and report its recommendations to the Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC).
Its membership consists of the "directors" of each of the administrative departments, one designee of the Dean's Council, the Director of Information Services as chair, the Assistant Director for Central Database Services, and a member of Central Database Services as secretary.
The Management Information Team (MIT) will continue to function as the Colleague Operations Group (COG) focusing on Colleague procedures. MIT has worked well coordinating work on Colleague as a forum for all the departments affected by changes. This explicit focus reduces the group slightly (a response to an issue recognized by the current membership). COG, like MIT, is not chartered, nor should function, to create policy. The function of COG, like MIT, is to communicate intentions and to resolve procedural questions among administrative departments.
