This episode explores how the reporting line of a Chief Information Officer (CIO) in higher education influences their authority, responsibilities, and effectiveness. We break down the ‘ideal type’ CIO using a sociological lens, dig into why university leadership chooses certain reporting structures, and compare real-world differences between CIO roles reporting to presidents, provosts, and CFOs.
