 Over the last several decades, as technology has become more ubiquitous and more complex, CIOs and their IT departments have become increasingly more integral to the institution. IT leaders today have a massive span of responsibility. Information technology touches almost every aspect of higher education. The 2014 Top 10 IT Issues is a direct reflection of the continued transformation of the business of information technology. The issues include improving student outcomes, establishing a partnership between IT and institutional leadership, assisting faculty with information technology, IT staffing models, analytics to support institutional outcomes, funding IT strategically, access demand, service delivery strategy, sustainable online learning. Top 10 is a tie between IT compliance and risk management and enterprise IT architecture. These issues not only reflect the concerns of CIOs, but they also offer a window into the future of higher ed IT. The democratization of information technology means that faculty and students have both the desire and the means to reshape the way they use technology in their work. Everyone in our community wants ubiquitous access to computing to help realize our institution's strategic visions. And perhaps by being aware of the top IT issues, by staying plugged in, we can begin to understand the rebirth and redefinition of what information technology means to colleges and universities. To put it simply, we can be the change we see.
