> Some universities are looking at centralizing all IT units on campus as a
> cost saving measure. Many universities, incorrectly in my view, look upon
> the language lab as just another "IT unit". I have been hearing from about
> instances of the language lab/language technology center being integrated
> with central campus information technology units. My own institution is
> ramping up to deal with the worst budget cut in its history.

> I am wondering if any of you have argued against assimilating the language
> lab into the campus IT at your institution. If you have provided
> justifications to your administrators I would be interested in hearing your
> arguments. You could email me directly, if you prefer.
