IT Governance is a structure, a process and most importantly, a partnership between the academic units, the administrative units and the IT professionals. The ultimate goal of IT Governance is to achieve a close alignment of technology with departmental, divisional and institutional goals and objectives. Our IT Governance structure forms the framework for defining how technology policies and resources are established, deployed, managed and enforced.
