IT Governance Structure
IT governance is concerned with who makes which decisions, who provides inputs and analyzes the issues, who sets priorities, and who settles disputes when there is no clear consensus. IT governance is concerned with the whole IT enterprise, not just the central IT organization.
IT governance is ultimately concerned with the ability to conduct institution-wide IT activities:
1. Can we develop important IT policies that apply throughout the institution?
2. Can we implement important IT decisions that apply throughout the institution?
3. Can we coordinate the activities of IT personnel effectively throughout the institution?

Note: The Student Senate had a standing committee to deal with technology issues, called the Student Technology Improvement Committee, but this committee was abolished in 2011–2012 to be replaced by special topics groups as needed.
