By fall of 2000, the consensus is that we should have Office 2000 in the labs but much upgrading needs to be done first. Tom Manning would like an update on Microsoft product installation on campus. The answer is that this is a departmental issue. Faculty and staff may contact the help desk and ask to be added to the work order list. Departments can also do their own installs but it would have to be monitored carefully and a report would have to be submitted to Academic Computing.
Students can do installations from the web site.
There will be an agreement for people to sign. Individuals in various colleges must be designated and identified so that everyone knows who to go to in order to have this done. This issue is not clear. Deans approved a process but the money was not brought up. They just agreed to provide the designee to coordinate the installs, etc.
