All good points.
I will add the following:
11. Public universities are public institutions and subject to public
records laws
12. There are actually many distinct information environments - each
requiring a "mindset" and a significant level of skill.
- Academic Records (-Student Records, Course Records -
Registrar's domain, Discipline Records - Student Life,
- Administrative Records - The University as Business (HR,
Finance, Communications, IT, etc)
- Grant records
- Faculty Records (HR records, Discipline files)
- City Records - The University as City (EHS, Police, Fire,
Planning, etc)
- Medical Records
13. It appears to me that U RIMS get paid much less, than their
corporate counterparts.
The U records manager has to be very knowledgeable about a much wider
range of information environments, they generally have less authority
and the decentralized university is a greater (more problematic)
decentralization than one found in corporations (even international).
Understanding that no RIM has it easy, for the points mentioned before
and the 3 I list above, it is my opinion that the U records manager has
a tougher job than the corporate records manager.
