During the past 3 years, CAUSE and the University of Miami (Florida) have sponsored a survey to identify the most important issues facing information technology managers for the 1990s. Data from previous years were merged with postcard survey data from the 1994 survey. The survey, which was mailed to 1,012 institutions of higher learning and sent electronically to 81 CAUSE member campuses, had a 51.7% response rate (565 postcards). Networking and coping with limited resources are identified as the most critical issues facing higher education, a finding in keeping with the results of previous years. Among the new issues added in 1994, aligning information technology goals with university goals was considered more important than issues of job security and loyalty. Differences among responses of public and private institutions were generally small, with the greatest difference being that "aging systems" was a far greater concern for private institutions than it was for public ones. Forty-four graphs and four tables present response information, including ranking by size, control, and Carnegie classification of the institution. (SLD)
