2 TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2006 NCSU trumps UNC’s connectivity BYAMYEAGLEBURGER ASSISTANT STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR In a Princeton Review and Forbes.com ranking of the top 25 most connected college campuses,- a familiar N.C. university was on the list, but it wasn’t UNC-Chapel Hill. After coming in fifth in the 2004 rankings, Chapel Hill fell oflf the list but N.C. State University, previous ly unranked, nabbed a spot among other techno-sawy institutions. “It kind of makes you question their methodology,” Jim Gogan, director of networking for UNC’s Information Technology Services, said of the quick demotion. “If we can go from No. 5 one year and not in the top 25 the next year, it’s not like we stopped doing anything in the network.” John Streck, UNC assistant vice chancellor for telecommunications and networking, also was taken aback by Chapel Hill’s absence from the list. “I’m at a loss,” he said.

Wireless network availability, online course offerings and the percentage of undergraduates who own computers were some of the more highly weighted criterion. “The top 25 schools that came on this list are putting major resources (behind technology),” said Robert Franek, vice president and publish er for The Princeton Review. “They have made a clear com mitment to supporting campus technology.” The schools evaluated were taken from the 361 colleges and universities The Princeton Review ranked the highest in its annual ratings. Technological data was solicited from the universities. The rankings also included feed back from the experts on colleges: the students, Franek said. But Gogan said he is unaware of the exact methods of collec tion because neither the ITS office nor any other technical office that he knows of— was contacted loily alar Hrrl PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS STAFF Brown, Katie Bynum, Ryan Cook, Lizzy Fitzgerald, Jorie Gripman, Mary Kincheloe, Jennie See, Katie Slusser, account executives Advertising Production: Penny Persons, man ager, Cindy Huntley, ad production coordinator; EDITORIAL STAFF Opinion: Amanda Pittman, Jessica Seism, Jeff Smith, Scott Spillman, Jordan Stone and Laura Youngs, editorial board.

He added that it is possible The Princeton Review received out-of-date figures. “Old numbers are horribly obso lete,” he said, noting that even data a few months old is not reflective of the current situation. “The network is constantly evolving.” ITS works hard to ensure systems are constantly updated to anticipate new requirements, he said. But while a ranking was elusive, Streck has no doubts that Chapel Hill is in fact a well-connected campus. “We’re starting our next gen eration on (the wireless network) which has more intelligence on how the actual wireless infrastruc ture is used and how it’s imple mented,” he said. Another area of technological pride for Chapel Hill is the tech sup port offered by the ITS Help Desk, Grogan said an area that was not expressly rated in the list.
