After reviewing the inventory of computers deployed in classrooms across campus, IT plans to replace the computers in the following rooms:

• Morgan 116, 201 and 307
• Severance 009, 123 and 221
• Taylor 010, 110, 206 and 308
• Wishart 104

These changes will take place during the current semester. Academic departments will be notified beforehand.

IT plans to replace the laptops currently located in these classrooms with Mac Minis. It is our general plan to move away from the deployment of laptops in classrooms in favor of computers like the Mac Mini. We do not wish to pay the mobility premium required for laptops in situations in which the computers are to be secured in place. In addition, we expect that the non-laptops will be less tempting targets for theft. The switch from laptops to other devices will also facilitate IT’s use of Apple Remote Desktop to remotely manage classroom computers. Questions should be directed to Mary Schantz at mschantz@wooster.edu.
