This policy is not intended to affect any other powers and authorities granted to the University pursuant to the general appropriation act and the Code of Virginia, including other provisions of the Act or the University's enabling statutes, as that term is defined in § 23.1-1000 of the Act. This policy shall govern the University's information technology strategic planning, expenditure reporting, budgeting, project management, infrastructure, architecture, ongoing operations, security, and audits conducted within, by, or on behalf of the University. Upon the effective date of this management agreement between the Commonwealth and the University, therefore, the University shall be exempt from the provisions of the Code of Virginia governing the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, Chapter 20.1 (§ 2.2-2005 et seq.) of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia, and the provisions governing the Information Technology Advisory Council, Article 35 (§ 2.2-2699.5 et seq.) of Chapter 26 of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia, that otherwise would govern the University's information technology strategic planning, expenditure reporting, budgeting, project management, infrastructure, architecture, ongoing operations, security, and audits conducted within, by, or on behalf of the University, provided, however, that the University still shall be subject to those provisions governing the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, Chapter 20.1 (§ 2.2-2005 et seq.) of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia, and the provisions governing the Information Technology Advisory Council, Article 35 (§ 2.2-2699.5 et seq.) of Chapter 26 of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia, that are applicable to public institutions of higher education of the Commonwealth and that do not govern information technology strategic planning, expenditure reporting, budgeting, project management, infrastructure, architecture, ongoing operations, security, and audits within, by, or on behalf of the University. The procurement of information technology and telecommunications goods and services, including automated data processing hardware and software, shall be governed by the Policy Governing the Procurement of Goods, Services, Insurance, and Construction, and the Disposition of Surplus Materials (Exhibit D) approved by the board, and the Rules Governing Procurement of Goods, Services, Insurance, and Construction that are incorporated in and attached to such policy.
