IT Governance Council (ITGC)

The IT Governance Council (ITGC) at San Diego State University is dedicated to addressing key technology issues that pose significant risks to the university. The council’s charge includes identifying opportunities to enhance IT effectiveness, codifying policies to ensure consistency and accountability, and proactively addressing areas of risk. Initially, the council will focus on tactical solutions to close known gaps, with the goal of evolving into a body that provides comprehensive governance and strategic direction for IT. This approach ensures IT services and operations align with SDSU’s mission, vision, goals, values, and community needs.
