The reorganization of technology professionals is similar to the recent financial organizational realignment undertaken by the Division of Finance and Operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrategically aligning information technology resources across campus enhances effective technology support services for the University\u2019s operations and institutional priorities,\u201d said Mike Shelton, chief information officer. \u201cThe realignment will strengthen IT services through consistent practices and processes so unit leaders can focus on education, research&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.ua.edu\/2026\/06\/it-services-to-strengthen-through-campus-realignment\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT services to strengthen through campus realignment https:\/\/news.ua.edu\/2026\/06\/it-services-to-strengthen-through-campus-realignment\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-03 09:04:00 Source Domain: news.ua.edu&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":262946,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/news.ua.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1910064_-ZR_004_Computer_Brochure-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,62,57],"class_list":["post-262945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-disruptive","tag-innovation","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262945"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262945"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262947,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262945\/revisions\/262947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
