Technology Sub-committee of UV-WAC

The Technology Sub-Committee is a recommending group of web technology specialists across the UVU campus that work with the technology and programming languages behind the UVU web system. Their responsibility is to oversee all the web server technology, system applications, CMS solutions, server-side scripting efforts, and any database-driven issues regarding the web systems. We will meet regularly and make decisions on these topics relating to all our efforts at UVU. All decisions made by this Sub-Committee will be forwarded through the UVWAC for ratification. Since the Technology Sub-Committee will have members of departments across campus, the committee only has the recommending ability on topics and solutions. The implementation of those decisions will have to be coordinated through the UVWAC.
