By June 2006 colleges and non-academic units will have IT strategic plans supporting the University’s Strategic Goals and the Strategic Objectives of the unit.  

By October 2006 each unit will have an IT plan that identifies its requirements and new equipment and software needed. 

By October 2006 each unit will have an inventory of current IT assets and a list of additional IT assets required to meet unit needs.

By January 2007 the University will have determined the division of responsibility for resources between IRM and the individual units.
