Implementation Timetable for the School of Information Sciences and Technology

We recommend an aggressive timetable for the establishment of the School of Information Sciences and Technology (Figure 5). Considerable groundwork must be accomplished to secure appropriate faculty consultation, Faculty Senate review, University Board of Trustees approval, and industry feedback. To achieve the goal of welcoming the first class of students in Fall Semester 1999 will require a well-organized and fast track effort through the 1998-1999 year to recruit the School's leadership and the initial cohort of faculty, and to complete the processes of developing the detailed proposals required for the new degrees and the specific courses to be included in the IST curriculum.
