Academic Computing Users Council

ABOUT THE ACUC...

Mission Statement

The mission of the Academic Computing Users Council is to support Instructional Technology, share and distribute related information to all System campuses and in doing so, the committee meets to discuss these issues. Members of ACUC support, promote, and contribute to the effective use of computing and information technology in education.

When Was ACUC Founded & By Whom?

The Academic Computing Users Council was founded in 1991 and initiated by the State System Provosts/Chief Academic Officers (CAO), with the initial organizing done from the State System offices in Harrisburg. The first organizing meeting was held in the Dixon center and the first regular meeting occurred in Mansfield.

Purpose

To provide advice to the CAO and promote the exchange of information on computer issues in the academic area.

Number of Members

There is a member from each of the 14 State System universities with ad hoc membership of the State System Vice Chancellor. A member of the CAO serves as a liaison between the the ACUC and the Provosts.

Jobs Done

The most visible activity in the last 5 years is the annual Computing across the Curriculum conference; and the fall and winter meetings are important forums for the discussion of current issues, and the exchange of information about solutions to common problems/issues that come from the individual universities. The role of ACUC members is to take potentially useful information and ideas back to the CAOs and others on their campus.

The ACUC also conducts an annual survey of computer resources on each campus and compiles a report, which is used by the members and the State System central office.
