Editor's note: This is the final part of a five-part series
on the university's computer system.
By Mike Schmoldt
Someday a private firm may manage UNl's computers,
but that possibility is only one of several being considered
by administrators who arc planning for the future of UNL
computing.
An executive memorandum signed last fall by NU
President Ronald Roskens detailed plans for separating
academic and administrative computing.
Don Leuenberger. special assistant for computing
in the Office of Academic Affairs, was hired to help
carry out the plans. He has been studying the overall
NU computer system since he began work three weeks
ago.
Howard Ottoson. executive vice president for academic
affairs, said part of L.euenberger's job will be to see how
much the university can improve the network without
having a private firm take over the operation.
The option of hiring a private firm is "on the back
burner," Ottoson said, but has not been discarded. Ad
ministrators last fall explored the possibility of a private
firm helping to carry out the executive memorandum.
A Pennsylvania firm offered last fall to look at the
university's administrative computing.
UNL officials never agreed on the alternatives identi
fied by the firm. Ottoson said, including whether to hire
management before or after the split between academic
and administrative uses takes place.
Alan Seagren. vice president for administration, said
an advantage of hiring a private firm is that the firm could
start immediately and possibly make improvements
faster. One disadvantage is that an outside firm would not
be familiar with the system, or its history - the local
conditions that shaped the system.
Another disadvantage, Seagren said, is the possibility
that some people in computing services would lose their
jobs.
William Heniann, assistant vice president for adminis
tration, said the firm, if hired, would probably give cur
rent employees two to four months to "prove their
worth."
Officials agree that the private firm option is in limbo,
and it may stay there, if UNL Chancellor Martin Massen
gale takes the advice of his task force on academic com
puting. Contracting with a private firm for management would
probably involve a "significant increase in total cost,"
according to the task force's report.
