'Open Source' Agreements in Information AssuranceCTANS works with two institutions: 1) Oklahoma State Univeristy, Okmulgee, a traditional technical school, with mostly vocational training and two-year degrees, is part of the OSU system that is submitting this application; and 2) Langston University, which is a "Historically Black University".OSU Okmulgee is a traditional technical college. Although it is formally part of the "OSU system", it has its own President, faculty, degrees and local administrative structure. The Higher Education Commission considers Stillwater and Tulsa campuses a single university, whereas Okmulgee is accredited separately. OSU has campuses across the state. The primary campuses are in Stillwater and Tulsa. These two locations draw from the same faculty, who are tenured in common departments. Most faculty at each location teach at both locations, if a relevant degree is offered in both locations. With a few exceptions, CTANS provides both institutions complete use of our materials in the security area. Because of copyright issues with our online courses, we are not allowing them to actually use the entire video portion of our courses with their students, however, all teaching materials, notes, assignments, and PowerPoint slides are available to them. Although they are free to use the materials in their courses, they are likely to use them primarily for instructor review, taking only small relevant portions into their classrooms. Letters to each institution affirming this arrangement can be found at http://ctans.okstate.edu/coe/support/okm_course_share.pdf and http://ctans.okstate.edu/coe/support/langston_course_share.pdf, respectively. Administration at OSU (Stillwater/Tulsa) recently agreed to allow IA coursework from Okmulgee to be offered on the Tulsa campus. All their coursework will be accepted in student degree plans for degrees in Stillwater or Tulsa, and many courses will be cross-listed as being courses. Those courses could be combined with courses taught by OSU Stillwater or Tulsa classes to allow students to graduate from either Okmulgee or Stillwater/Tulsa degree programs. Profs. Mark Weiser (Stillwater) and Marty Crossland (Tulsa) have been meeting with representatives from Okmulgee to review both curricula, discuss the above agreement (which came to fruition), and assess tracks that students could take from either program. Earlier this year, Prof. Mark Weiser (OSU) and Prof Oren Johnson (Langston) met in Langston to discuss cooperative efforts in security at the two campuses. It was noted that there is much interest pursuing matriculation agreements between the two universities. Recently, a curriculum review and development committee was established, which includes Profs Mark Weiser and Marty Crossland from OSU, and Dr. Oren Johnson, Dr. Felix Edoho, and Mr. Robert Allen.
