Executive Session: Personnel Matters and Possible Real Property Acquisitions 1 AGENDA EXECUTIVE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE June 10, 2008 1. Information Item: Executive Session: Personnel Matters and Possible Real Property Acquisitions The Committee will meet in Executive Session on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 to discuss personnel matters and possible real property acquisitions. Materials will be distributed in Executive Session. 1 AGENDA COMMITTEE ON FINANCE AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS June 10, 2008 1. Payroll Consolidation: A Shared Services Approach for the University System of Georgia (Committee of the Whole) Recommended: That the Board approve the payroll consolidation using a shared services strategy for the University System of Georgia to achieve best-in-class efficiencies under Goal Six of the strategic plan. Background: Accenture and the Hackett Group conducted a benchmarking study on the HR/Payroll and Finance processes for the state of Georgia, under a contract with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (“NASACT”) in June 2007. The University System of Georgia participated in this project. The study concluded that the University System had opportunities to improve efficiencies and recommended adopting a shared services model for providing certain administrative support services. Shared Services is the consolidation and streamlining of an organization’s administrative support functions into a “Shared Services Center” to ensure the most efficient and effective service delivery possible. Key advantages include the achievement of economies of scale, elimination of redundant activities, the ability to quickly incorporate best practices, monitor and manage enterprise risk, and enhanced financial control systems. Payroll Strategy: The strategy is to maximize best-of-breed functionality, such as online timesheets, online benefits enrollment and self-service access to employee data for employees. As a result of a competitive RFP process, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”) has been selected as the provider of a consolidated system which they will host, manage and maintain. ADP will also provide payroll services as necessary for the institutions of the University System. 1 AGENDA COMMITTEE ON INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY June 10, 2008 Agenda Item Page No. INFORMATION ITEMS 1. Advising Project Support – DegreeWorks Software Implementation 1 2. Connectivity for Research and Education in Georgia – PeachNet 2 3. Introduction of the University System’s New Chief Information Security Officer 3 AGENDA COMMITTEE ON INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY June 10, 2008 1. Information Item: Advising Project Support – DegreeWorks Software Implementation Goal One of the System Strategic Plan indicates that high-quality academic advising is a key component for student success. At the October 2007 Board Meeting, President Ronald M. Zaccari from Valdosta State University delivered a report on the Enhanced Student Advising Systemwide Project that he led. In his report, President Zaccari highlighted a number of recommendations including the acquisition of a software product to assist with improved advising. Today, Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Tonya R. Lam, will provide the Committee with an overview of the DegreeWorks initiative and discuss Phase 1 of the implementation plan. A. Kay Anderson, Registrar at Georgia College and State University, the first University System institution to implement DegreeWorks, will demonstrate how the product works and its capabilities to improve academic advising. 1 Committee on Information and Instructional Technology June 10, 2008 2. Information Item: Connectivity for Research and Education in Georgia – PeachNet The University System of Georgia has developed one of the premier network infrastructures for research and education in the nation. This network, PeachNet, is a critical component in virtually all technology-based services used to support instruction, research, and service throughout the University System. As we chart the course for future decisions, it is important for the Committee to have a background in this vital resource. The Associate Vice Chancellor for Operations in the Office of Information and Instructional Technology, J. Reid Christenberry, will provide a “primer” on PeachNet, what it is, what it does, and where it is heading. 2 Committee on Information and Instructional Technology June 10, 2008 3. Information Item: Introduction of the University System’s New Chief Information Security Officer Following a national search and the screening of a strong pool of candidates, the Vice Chancellor for Information and Instructional Technology and Chief Information Officer, Thomas L. Maier, will introduce the University System’s new Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). The new CISO will provide a few remarks to the Committee on the challenges facing this new position and some of the strategies to be employed in addressing them. 3 AGENDA COMMITTEE ON ACADEMIC AFFAIRS June 10, 2008 Agenda Item Page No. PRIMARY POINTS / SUMMARIES 1 I.

  • Georgia Tech Education Extends Beyond Classroom
    ACADEMICS 259 Tech Academics . Broadening Horizon 260 / Academics Academics / 261 Georgia Tech Education Extends Beyond Classroom To Georgia Tech Students: One of the great things about the 1988 Blueprint, or any yearbook, is that it chron- icles more or less the entire range of activities that make up the life of a stu- dent. Three very important things about Georgia Tech are apparent in browsing through the Blueprint — things that we often lose sight of in our day-to-day ex- istence. First, Georgia Tech is not only difficult and demanding, but Georgia Tech is fun! "Work hard, play hard" is the dominant philosophy here, and the play is as important as the work. Second, a great deal of education at Georgia Tech never makes it on the transcript, never sees the inside of a classroom, and never satisfies a degree requirement. It takes place in the context of student organizations and activities, in fraternities, sororities, and dormitories, on the athletic field or in just kicking ideas around over coffee or some other beverage. Third, Georgia Tech is made up of some pretty decent people — people you will be happy to count as friends for the rest of your lives. It is this broader perspective on what constitutes the real Georgia Tech experience that the Blueprint helps provide. The experiences chronicled in the 1988 Blueprint comprise the foundations upon which success in the later life is built. Take advantage of what Georgia Tech provides — in non-academic as well as academic areas. You will join the ranks of thousands of distinguished Georgia Tech alumni sooner than you think.

Reeves THE Department of Political Science was formally established at the University of Michigan in 1910. At the February meeting of that year, the Regents authorized Acting President Hutchins to make an investigation and report to the Board for appointment a professor of political science, “this chair to be regarded as part of the Department of Literature, Science, and the Arts” (R.P., 1906-10, p. 660). At the April meeting, the election of a professor of political science was made upon Dr. Hutchins’ recommendation.

  • 1 Remarks by Georgia Tech President G. Wayne Clough
    REMARKS BY GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Dr. John P. Crecine Memorial Service, May 20, 2008 I’d like to welcome all of you to this memorial service to remember and honor Dr. John Patrick Crecine as a person and as president of the Georgia Institute of Technology from 1987 until 1994. We would especially like to welcome Dr. Crecine’s son John and daughter Kate to campus and to extend our condolences to each of you. Dr. Crecine earned his doctorate in industrial management from Carnegie Mellon. His career included service on the faculty of the University of Michigan, where he was the founding director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies, and Carnegie Mellon, where he was dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, then vice president for academic affairs. He also worked at the Rand Corporation, and later in life was instrumental in a number of start-up companies in information technology and e-commerce. John Patrick Crecine came to Georgia Tech as its ninth president in the fall of 1987 and served in that capacity until 1994. And today we especially recall and honor his contributions to Atlanta and Georgia Tech during those years. There are a number of things that could be said about his service to Georgia Tech, but we have chosen to focus on four areas in which decisions made during his tenure took on longer-term significance. Dr. Crecine seemed to have been gifted with a high degree of foresight, because in each of these cases, his decisions planted seeds that blossomed and came to fruition in the years following his presidency.
