'A River of Alligators'
Few campus officials have stepped into harder jobs this year than J. Brice Bible. In April, Mr. Bible left the University of Tennessee to become chief information officer at Ohio University — whose IT department had been reeling from a string of all-too-public hacking incidents that cost several staff members their jobs.
“I was literally walking into a river of alligators,” says Mr. Bible in an interview with Computerworld, “but that’s not always a bad thing.”
Shortly after assuming the Ohio post, Mr. Bible made headlines by announcing that the university was banning peer-to-peer software. Now, he tells Computerworld, he’s set the institution on a five-year plan to restructure its IT department. —Brock Read
