Past historyThe Campus Technology Committee (CTC), which has also been called the Campus Computer Committee, the Campus Coordinating Committee, and the Campus Computer Coordinating Committee, was begun in 1989, and was originally intended as a campus-wide version of the Instructional Computer Committee (ICC). The ICC had been formed on an ad-hoc basis to discuss and promote the use of computers by PCC faculty, but eventually the ICC was given authority to allocate expenditures from a limited fund for computers and related equipment for faculty use. The ICC developed a format process for faculty to request hardware and for the Committee to decide which requests would be funded.
The CTC was formed to provide a more campus-wide approach to computer funding and expenditures. While the ICC attempted to maintain its status, it eventually was absorbed by the CTC.
The mission of the CTC was immediately a contentious issue. The faculty members advocated for a role in budget allocations, while the college president promoted an advisement role. The issue developed into a debate that involved not only the role of the committee but also that of the role of computing technology for the school. In 1991, a subcommittee drafted a mission statement for the use of computing at PCC, not for the CTC itself.
Most publications such as the Technology Master Plan cite the advisory role of the CTC. However, according to the records that I have, the issue has never been formally resolved.
