The Scientific Act of Contract Negotiations

by Kent Kuo and Nancy Wilson

Published on Monday, January 1, 20010 Comments

This article discusses the art of contract negotiations with IT vendors.

Kent Kuo

Kent Kuo is the University Registrar at Oregon State University (Corvallis, OR). Previously, Kent was also the University Registrar and Associate Chief Information Officer at the University of California, Merced. He also spent ~14 years in various IT leadership roles at the University of California, Davis. He holds a bachelors degree in International Affairs from Lewis & Clark College, and a masters degree in political science/international studies from Southern Oregon University. He is grateful for the love, patience, and support of his wife (Debbie) and three children (Alexa, Ryan, and Kayla). Any remaining sanity is all to their credit.
