Ostriker, Koehler, Sather to provide interim CIT
leadership
On July 1, Ira Fuchs, vice president for
computing and information technology, will become a
vice president at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
He will continue parttime in the role of senior
technology adviser to President Shapiro. Provost
Jeremiah Ostriker will assume more direct
responsibility for leadership of Computing and
Information Technology, with two of CIT's
directors, David Koehler and Steven Sather, while a
national search for a new vice president for CIT is
conducted.
Koehler and Sather will be named managing
directors during the interim period. Koehler will
have particular oversight for administrative
computing and infrastructure; this will include
Information Technology Architecture and Enterprise
Services, in addition to the Information Systems
group (which he currently manages). Sather will
have oversight for academic computing and customer
service; this will include Administrative Services,
Academic Technology Services, and Budget and
Finance, in addition to Support Services (which he
currently manages).
During his 14 years at Princeton, Fuchs "served
the University very well," says Ostriker. "We are
seen as a leader in providing a robust
infrastructure for campus computing and in
identifying and deploying new technologies. We will
be seeking someone who will follow in and extend
this tradition of excellence and innovation. It
will be a national search, in which the net will be
cast as widely as possible to identify the most
promising candidates."
