Committee files reflect the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of University of Michigan computing and technological planning, particularly in the records of ITPC (Information Technology Policy Committee) and ITAC (Information Technology Architecture Committee). ITPC, a ten member advisory panel was formed in 1987 as a reconstituted Computing Policy Committee (CPC), with a tightened focus for advising on major functions: strategic direction, priority setting and policy recommendation. ITAC initiated that same year, was charged with developing the design for and recommending implementation tactics for a university-wide, comprehensive information technology architecture. Documents containing valuable background information on issues scheduled for deliberation often supplement committee files, which are mainly comprised of minutes, agendas, and correspondence.
