AMY CHEN/THE STATESMAN Stony Brook University is considering changing the academic and research side of the university’s virtual workspace from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, an idea which caused immediate backlash during the Faculty Senate meeting on Dec. 7. Vice President for Strategic Initiatives, Rosemaria Martinelli, discussed the proposed change as a part of the university’s Strategic Budget Initiative. The goal of the change is to cut costs and bridge what was framed during the meeting as a longstanding separation between the East and West campuses. Microsoft 365 is currently the East campus’ virtual workspace. “The ‘why?’ really is about reduction in complexity; increased coordination and collaboration; and [getting] similar tools across the campus,” Martinelli said. She added that there are also costs associated with having separate ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems and other differing technology within the different sections of the university.
