The information technology (IT) workforce serves many vital functions in higher education, supporting campus computing needs ranging from advanced research and business and administrative operations to student learning and technology needs. As IT becomes an increasingly important part of the success of higher education, it is equally important to understand factors that help promote and maintain the success of higher education's IT workforce. This research brief provides a snapshot of diversity and pay equity in higher education IT, a look at the aging of IT administrators, and the characteristics of possible pipeline positions from data collected in the 2018 CUPA-HR "Administrators in Higher Education, Professionals in Higher Education," and "Staff in Higher Education" surveys.
