Information Technology and Governance Committee

At the end of the academic year 2024/25, the large remit of Infrastructure Committee was split into two new committees: Information Technology Governance Committee (ITGC) and Estates Management & Sustainability Committee (EMSC). This largely reinstates the arrangements that were in place before Infrastructure Committee was created in academic year 2022/23.

ITGC advises Council and Senate on matters relating to IT, including opportunities to leverage technology to support the University's strategic plans. The committee owns the institutional strategy for IT and sets overall policy for areas related to IT, information governance and information including guidance on the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence. It also provides specialist oversight and independent assurance for major strategic IT projects or initiatives. ITGC also oversees strategic-level IT risk management, including cybersecurity and business continuity.
