Abstract	This paper is devoted to a discussion of the conditions which led to a thorough review of the computing and information technology organization, policies, and practices for University of South Carolina-Aiken. The Task Force on Campus Computing was established in the fall of 1994 to address the campus' concerns. Among the concerns were: Computer Services Division's (CSD) control of the purchasing, installation, and maintenance of hardware and software; the administrative control of CSD; the ability of CSD to perform repairs and related functions on a timely basis; and whether or not certain services would be better provided on a contractual basis. Several short-, moderate- and long-term issues are identified. To date, there have been several key opportunities for a broader-based campus group to become involved in the decision-making process related to campus computing. There have also been many more discussions on the campus about the policies which govern the group's activities in this area. The task that remain before the group are the development of a philosophy for campus computing that will guide the institution for the foreseeable future, as well as defining the best organizational structure to accomplish this goal.
