ITS Update (Gould)

Information Technology Services (ITS) continues to recover from the Hale Library fire which damaged the K-State main data center and displaced about 100 of ITS full-time staff and students. While electrical power was reconnected to the data center on June 18, electrical power has yet to be restored to the entire building. Work on the roof is planned for July 18. For more information, see the overview page for the Hale Recovery Plan. http://www.k-state.edu/hale/

ITS has divided our work into three phases. Our Phase I goal was restoration of IT services, which occurred between May 22 and June 1.

In Phase II, ITS is focusing on recovery projects (June 18-August 17) in preparation for the start of fall semester. Projects have been put on hold to continue with the recovery process.

There are 52 projects in this phase in four focus areas:

  • Data Center Operations
  • Services Evaluation
  • Service Operation
  • Staff

For more information visit: http://www.k-state.edu/its/recovery/index.html

In Phase III, ITS will work on redefining our way forward that includes work on the IT Strategic Plan and drafting the Enterprise Infrastructure 2.0.

Projects recently completed

Contractual Market-Based Education (CMBE) – Business Analysis (Pfaff): College of Education had first CMBE agreement approved. They will use Graduate School non-degree request process for enrolling until new process figured out. They are building instruction sheets for the entities contracting to determine the enrollment needs, class section number, etc., to make enrollment easier. Since they are global classes, they go through EIS process. Once approved, they go into KSIS and will have special class attributes. Sections will start with Y, not Z. Student will have special plan code (GED-CMB). Dean Mercer is working with legal counsel to set up agreements with the student and the outside entity. Additional things to be addressed: only 9-15 hours if non-degree seeking, dropping a class with no refund, etc. Currently students pay for the class themselves and are reimbursed by employer, but they are hoping to change this for Fall. In October, will review and work out more kinks.
