Abstract
There is a substantial amount of variation in college/university computing structures (e.g., whether the university leadership is consolidated under a chief information officer), computing policies (e.g., the extent to which cost recovery is used), and planning efforts (e.g., the extent to which formal plans are developed concerning information and related policies). Although these policies have been frequently discussed, there has been little systematic research concerning whether these structures and policies have any impact on outcomes such as the extent of access and use made of computing by faculty, staff, and students. This paper draws on the 1994 CAUSE survey to provide an initial assessment of these issues.
