About ACIS

ACIS works with Library and Technology Services (LTS) and other campus committees to develop policies relating to various information technologies and services http://lehigh.edu/go/acis.

Current members of ACIS include Professors Scott Gordon, Department of English, Jeffrey Heflin, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and Edward Shapiro, Department of Education and Human Services; Denise Blew, Office of Finance and Administration; Timothy Foley, Library and Technology Services; Emil Gnasso, Office of the Registrar; Gary Lutz, Office of Institutional Research; John Welty, Office of Advancement; and Bruce Taggart (ex-officio), Vice Provost for Library and Technology Services.

How policies are developed

The process for policy development begins with ACIS receiving drafts of policy issues from various LTS Advisory Committees (see the organization chart at http://www.lehigh.edu/go/ltsgovernancechart). The draft policies are reviewed by ACIS and refined collaboratively with LTS before being circulated to the campus for an open comment period. After the campus comment period, the ACIS Committee considers all campus input and a final draft policy is forwarded to the Provost for review and approval. Once approved, the policy is posted to the LTS web site on the "About" page.
