The Technology Policy Committee is a standing committee of the Bloomington Faculty Council with a primarily consultative function. The TPC meets monthly to gather information and provide consultation to various offices on the Bloomington campus, most often the University Information Technology Services. TPC seeks to bring faculty and student technology issues to the attention of those that have decision making capacity about technology on the Bloomington campus.
