The implications of how IT development will change the educational and social milieu of the future are the subjects of much media discussion. However, it is clear that technology removes many of the traditional obstacles such as time and space, and enables users to be more flexible. To remain competitive and vital, the University must examine options, including external alliances and strategic partnerships, to serve the needs of all its constituencies. The TLTR can provide the forum for exchange of new ideas and concerns. The terms will be staggered for one or two year periods.
Terms are renewable.
The members of the standing committee are those who fill designated positions as specified in the report of the Phoenix TLTR group. Term members will be selected to be broadly representative of the University's constituencies and will include undergraduate and graduate students. Members will be appointed in June and serve for the coming academic year. The chair of the TLTR will be appointed by the Provost from a list of candidates recommended by the membership. The chair serves for the academic year.
