This is the third comprehensive research study on the IT workforce in higher education from the EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR). These studies describe the state of the higher education IT workforce across all management levels (CIOs, managers, and staff): demographics, career paths within the IT workforce, factors that affect salary, professional development activities, and factors that impact employee retention. For more information see the The IT Workforce in Higher Education, 2016 hub.
