Advisory Committees

• Information Resource Management Policy and Planning Committee (IRMPPC)
• Administrative Advisory Committee on Computing (AACC)
• Instructional Advisory Committee on Computing (IACC)
• Student Campus Computing Committee (SC3)
• Information Security Committee (ISC)

The Information Resource Management Policy and Planning Committee (IRMPPC) is charged with the ongoing assessment of strategic plans and policies related to the campuswide management and use of information systems and services. The committee has four standing sub-committees: the Administrative Advisory Committee on Computing (AACC), the Instructional Advisory Committee on Computing (IACC), the Student Campus Computing Committee (SC3), and the Information Security Committee (ISC).

The AACC, IACC and SC3 committees provide input from users of computing and communications services to ITS, and communicate information about computing and communications services to the constituencies they represent. Recommendations from the committees are studied by the Vice Provost for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer, who determines the impact, benefits, costs and other factors involved in implementing the recommendations and forwards that analysis to the IRMPPC for appropriate action.

The Information Security Committee reviews and recommends information security policies and procedures and promotes sound information security practices to ensure the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of information in the University’s custody, regardless of format.
