CCFIT > About CCFIT
The Campus Council for Information Technology (CCFIT) was formed in
June 2004 when the Academic and Administrative Computing Councils
(also known as AC4 and AdC3) combined formally into one council and
adopted a new charge. (For some background information, see the story
that announced the formation of the CCFIT).
Charge
Under the leadership of Council Chair Caroline Bledsoe, the Council
provides advice and recommendations to the Provost and the Vice
Provost for Information and Educational Technology (IET), on educational
and information technology and its use at UC Davis in support of
instruction, research, administration, and public service. Specifically,
the Council assists the Provost and the Vice Provost for IET by:
- Coordinating the discussion and exploration of information technology ideas, issues, and activities with Council members who represent a variety of units and groups at UC Davis.
- Reviewing information and educational technology proposals and plans, and developing recommendations to be shared with all appropriate parties. The Council may also recommend its own proposals and plans.
- Providing a forum for the wider campus community to stay informed about major information and educational technology developments at UC Davis and for the community to identify additional topics for Council consideration and discussion.
Membership
Council membership is selected in
such a way as to represent a broad cross-section of the campus community,
from students, faculty, and staff, to deans and other campus administrators.
Student, staff and faculty appointments rotate every two years;
campus administrative units serve permanent terms. This broad representation
assists the Council in making recommendations such that campus resources
are deployed to their most strategic advantage.
Communications
Frequent and ongoing two-way communication with the campus community and specific campus constituencies is a high priority for the Council. To help meet this goal, all members are expected to report back to their constituent groups periodically on topics under Council consideration, and to submit feedback on those topics as well as new discussion items, issues and concerns from their constituencies to the Council. In addition, every year, Council will produce and publicize an annual report summarizing past discussions and findings and identifying topics for future discussion.
Meetings
General Council meetings are normally held once a month, from October through June.
In addition, the Council’s meeting schedule, meeting minutes, and other materials are posted on the Calendar & Minutes section of the CCFIT Web site.
Support
Support for CC-FIT is provided through the Office of the Vice Provost for IET. The support team can be reached at council-support@ucdavis.edu.
