IU is No. 1 among publicly supported universities in PC magazine
ranking of Top 20 Wired Campuses
Dec. 12, 2006
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Another national computing magazine
has recognized Indiana University as a leader in providing students
and faculty with an advanced technological environment for
learning and research.
PC Magazine in partnership with the Princeton Review today (Dec.
12) announced that IU is No. 1 among all publicly supported
universities in the magazine's first-ever ranking of Top 20 Wired
Campuses. Overall, the university was third in the ranking, behind
private universities Villanova and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
No other universities in Indiana were in PC Magazine's top 20.
Other Big Ten schools behind IU in the rankings were the
University of Illinois, which was sixth, and the University of
Minnesota, which was 12th.
The new rankings are the latest acclaim for IU's technology
environment.
As far back as 1996 and throughout this decade, IU consistently has
been recognized as a technology innovator in publications such as
Yahoo! Internet Life and Wired magazines. Intel Corporation
previously selected IU as one of the "most un-wired" universities
for its wireless Internet access across the campuses.
"We have been and remain committed to providing a state-of-the-art
information technology environment for the IU community," said
Michael A. McRobbie, interim provost and vice president for
academic affairs, IU Bloomington. "Information technology
services are fundamental to the educational process, and our top
rankings consistently reinforce the fact that IU's technology
landscape remains at the forefront."
In its article profiling IU, PC Magazine touted Big Red, which until
recently was the nation's fastest university-owned supercomputer, as
well as its largest disk-based storage facility. It also cited the more
than 50 agreements that IU has with software companies such as
Microsoft and Symantec, its leadership in the open-source software
community, and its use of Oncourse, an online portal where students
and faculty post course information and interact in other ways.
The magazine also praised IU for achieving a significant increase in
research grants in the last decade. Research grants doubled at the
university, from $200 million in 1996 to $477 million last year,
"ensuring that IU will continue to be a driving force in the tech and
research community for years to come."
The PC Magazine reporting on the Top 20 Wired Colleges will
appear on newsstands on Dec. 26 and will be online Friday (Dec. 15)
at http://go.pcmag.com/wiredcolleges where profiles of the schools
will be available, as well as all 240 schools that completed a
Princeton Review survey. On the site, users will be able to build
charts to compare up to 10 schools and view the original survey.
