As we move to implement UnCAS, There are a number of initiatives that must be continued with new vigor and new ones that must be started. The cornerstone of the success of the UnCAS plan is that faculty will make appropriate use of the potential of educational technology. To this end, we must provide effective support to faculty and staff, and it is for this reason that the Center for Learning and Technology will be established. The goal is to have all interested faculty comfortable with the use of technology in education. In addition, we will establish a mechanism to ensure that every faculty member who desires a computer will have one adequate to his or her needs and to the requirements of a modern, technologically-based curriculum.
