Pros
-ability to take classes -working with some of the best and brightest in an environment dedicated to learning
Kontras
-typical siloed higher ed scene; each college operating independently with redundant and inefficient systems, main RIT administration distant/out of touch, lack of collective shared vision -for a university known for technology education, very behind in terms of tech. Advancement. IT systems out of date, not centrally managed, poor planning, lack of unified systems architecture -major departments with university oversight awarded cumbersome control over individual colleges’ abilities to make changes or optimize efficiency at the individual college level. -Tenure policy seemingly applies to all employees; extremely difficult to hold legacy individuals accountable for performance.
