The schools will complete the IT transition over a “multi-year period,” according to the release.
It’s part of an agreement on the “framework” for a new five-year services agreement between the schools.
SU Chancellor Kent Syverud and SUNY ESF President Quentin Wheeler call it a “renewed partnership” in the release posted Wednesday on the SU website.
Under the agreement, SU also continues to provide student-recreational services, library services, student affairs/student activity services, disability services, and information technology (IT) services to ESF.
The agreement also includes instructional services, allowing students from each school to enroll in classes at the other.
Both Syverud and Wheeler will each appoint faculty members from their schools who will work together this spring to further develop the framework that will guide this collaborative effort.
The schools will ask the faculty members to identify an initial set of academic and research-based recommendations that they could implement during the 2016-17 academic year.
The schools will announce the appointments later this semester.
Both leaders want to create “joint academic, curricular and research-based initiatives,” according to the release.
