Premise: IT is important• A university is an "information industry" where knowledge is key
– Use of this knowledge often entails IT as a tool or conduit• IT has become a necessity for members of a university
– Scientists, educators, students, and administrative staff require information technology to achieve their goals
– IT is essential for collaboration, expression, creation of new knowledge, and innovation in science and the arts
• IT is infrastructure, much like electricity, telephones, buildings• Universities that invest in robust and modern IT have a significant
competitive advantage over those that do not

Funding• Vision of the 2007 Chancellor’s Fall Conference: Making UC Davis a
campus internationally recognized for its development and use of IT in support of innovation and excellence in teaching and scholarship, and acting on the recommendation. 1. Some investments in IT would be aligned with other university goals,
not leading to additional costs.2. Some investments in IT would require a re-prioritization of the
university’s goals. 3. In some cases, substantial efforts in planning and partnership-
building are required, with one focus being innovative methods for acquiring funds in support of growing needs and costs of IT.
