Planning in the Information Age

David E. Hollowell, Executive Vice President, University of Delaware, and Brian P. Nedwek, Associate Provost, St. Louis University

The society in which we live is rapidly being transformed from the industrial age to the information age. The impact of this transformation is already being felt on our campuses through the ways in which technology is influencing the way we conduct our daily activities. At the same time, new resources to support these changes and to fuel the engine of higher education are scarce. Amidst calls for increased accountability, academic leaders are scrambling for ways to reallocate existing resources to maintain and enhance academic programs and services.

This workshop will explore these issues and how a number of institutions are beginning to address them. Case studies and other resource materials will be used to illustrate some of the creative approaches being taken and to focus on the challenges that lie ahead. Time will be provided for participants to react to the case presentations and to share their own ideas and applications.

1:00pm - 4:00pm

Special Interest Group (SIG)

Edward A. Fox, Gail McMillan, and John Eaton,Virginia Tech (see concurrent session, Thursday, 2:15 - 3:15, for details about these moderators)
