Campus Computing 2007 Executive Summary

The Campus Computing Survey, a part of the Campus Computing Project, is an annual national survey of information technology in higher education. The survey focuses primarily on academic computing issues. Southeastern Louisiana University submitted the 2007 Campus Computing Survey on October 3, 2007. This report shows a comparison of campus computing at Southeastern at that time with Public Universities and All Institutions who responded, based on the 2007 Campus Computing Survey. Uses of Information Technology • Southeastern rates higher than All Institutions and Public Universities in use of computer-based

classrooms/labs, computer based simulations/exercises, and electronic mail.

Points of Excellence • While many institutions experienced security incidents such as theft of computer(s) containing

confidential data files, hack/attack on the campus network, identity management issues, major computer virus infestation, major spyware infestation, and explore/loss of sensitive data in distributed environment, Southeastern did not experience any security incidents.

• Southeastern is among 44% of All Institutions and 33% of Public Universities that require computer

instruction or competency for all undergraduate students. • Southeastern ranked quite well in the quality of its Web site, providing most of the academic

resources and services to students, faculty and staff. Admission and financial aid applications, course catalog, course registration, fee-payment, on-line courses, library catalog, and IT support resources and training are just some of the resources and services available through Southeastern’s Web site.

• The technology infrastructure at Southeastern is outstanding. In almost all the categories,

Southeastern rates better than the average rate of All Institutions and Public Universities.

Areas for Improvement • The number of network servers at Southeastern is quite low. While Southeastern has 50 network

servers, the average of All Institutions have 193 and Public Universities have 630 network servers.

• The average number of FTE help desk/technical support personnel at All Institutions is 40 and at

Public Universities is 139, while Southeastern has only 20. The ratio user support (enrollment/help desk) at Southeastern is 680 students to 1 help desk person, while the ratio at All Institutions is 260:1 and at Public Universities is 174:1.

• While campus network and Internet access are provided to all faculty and available in all dormitories

at Southeastern, the percentage of overall campus and classrooms covered by wireless network access is quite low. Only 25% of overall campus and 5% of the classrooms are covered or served by wireless network access.

• Southeastern limits the file size of email documents or attachments to a maximum of 10 MB. The

average maximum file size at All Institutions is 23 MB and at Public Universities is 39 MB. • Students at Southeastern are allowed to have a Web site with a maximum size of 50 MB. The

average size at All Institutions is 117 MB and at Public Universities is 208 MB.
