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.

ria for connectivity were drawn up
and then assigned point values.
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:

But Gogan said he is unaware

about the survey. 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received out-of-date figures.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.
