Developed in accordance with a legislative mandate, this master plan for Connecticut's regional community colleges provides baseline data on the current status of data processing; identifies issues, trends, and constraints; and sets forth specific plans for computing activities and services within the community college system. Introductory sections examine the mandate and mission of the colleges, constraints on the mission and objectives of their data processing program, and statewide priorities and objectives. The next section provides baseline information on hardware and telecommunications configurations, data processing personnel, use of microcomputers, and nine existing computer-based administrative systems. Next, the plan considers staffing needs, fiscal year 1989 priorities for a personnel and budget information system, systemwide integration among current administrative systems, microcomputer local area networks, and a UNIX operating system environment for computer science students. Finally, plans for upgrading equipment and telecommunications are presented. The bulk of the report consists of appendixes which offer information on the computer capabilities of the system and individual colleges, a list of data processing staff positions at each college, and detailed cost projections.
