Tech Therapy: Do College Presidents Give Enough Attention to Campus Technology?

In the latest Tech Therapy, Scott Carlson and Warren Arbogast talk with Stephen J. Kopp, president of Marshall University, about a president’s perspective on technology.

“It seems to me that when the focus is on technology and not the problem or the issue that is trying to be solved, it becomes almost a barrier in terms of effecting solutions,” he says. He also says chief information officers should talk to presidents all the time — not just at budget time to ask for big-ticket items.

And what does Mr. Kopp think of a recent Chronicle survey in which college presidents reported that technology strategy was one of their lowest priorities — and least favorite subjects to deal with? “Those statistics both amaze and appall me,” he says.
