How Should LSU Invest the IT Initiative Funds?
[September, 2001]

In connection with the new statewide IT initiative, LSU faculty have been asked to submit short (roughly 3-page) writeups that identify/recommend: (a) broad research areas into which new faculty ought to be hired; and (b) infrastructure (e.g., equipment, technical support staff, renovations) issues that must be addressed if we are going to be able to attract/retain top faculty in IT-intensive areas of research. Here are the suggestions that already have been made.
