The 2026 Survey of Campus Chief Technology/Information Officers, from Inside Higher Ed/Hanover Research, provides a snapshot of the challenges and opportunities facing higher education leaders tasked with advancing digital transformation on today's campuses.
Seventy-three percent of survey respondents cite an insufficient number of IT personnel as a barrier to transformation while 69% cite insufficient financial investment. Nearly half point to data challenges and 45% cite resistance among staff and faculty.
Combining survey findings with insights from campus technology leaders, the newly-published decision guide, "Overcoming Barriers to Digital Transformation," explores what’s holding transformation back and how institutions can make smarter choices about where to invest time, talent and resources.
