Inside Higher Ed’s 2025 Survey of Campus Chief Technology/Information Officers was conducted by Hanover Research. The survey asked college and university chief technology and information officers from 108 public and private, largely nonprofit two- and four-year institutions timely questions on the following issues:
- Level of influence of CTOs in institutional leadership
- Range of budgets CTOs are typically overseeing
- Institutional approaches to AI governance and AI's impact on higher ed so far
- Sustainability goals related to technology use
- Degree of confidence in cybersecurity practices
- Tech employee recruitment and retention challenges
- Adoption of emerging technologies, such as quantum computing and VR
- Current state of online program managers (OPMs) and online learning
The margin of error for this survey, now in its 4th year, is 9 percent.
