Public interest technology operations provide institutional support for the development of PIT activities and the incorporation of PIT into institutional missions by reflecting on the institution as a maker, deployer, and user of technologies. A PIT institution will create PIT-inspired policies and procedures across its such operations as IT and technology transfer, working toward PIT ideals across the full spectrum of institutional activities. Institutions of higher education have an important role as developers, procurers, and deployers of technologies, and they should thus maintain internal processes to assure that they protect the public interest. In much the same way institutions of higher education change their practices as well as their curriculum to address sustainability challenges, they should do the same with respect to PIT. Three components of operations are: policies and procedures, procurement and deployment and PIT ideals.
