Implementation of Common Management Systems (CMS)

AS-2564-02/FGA - March 7-8, 2002

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University recommend to the Chancellor that individual campuses be granted flexibility in the timing of implementation of CMS modules including the ability to delay the CMS student administration module.

RATIONALE: The funding of the California State University is likely to remain inadequate over the next two years to allow the campuses to fulfill their core mission of delivering a high quality education to their students. Allowing campuses flexibility in the timing and decisions to implement PeopleSoft modules will allow them to spend scarce resources in the best manner to meet their individual needs. Delays in implementation may not only allow funds to be used in more efficacious ways but would also allow time for development and implementation issues to be fully explored prior to systemwide adoption.
