How was the funding model determined?
A consultant specializing in telecommunications in the academic sector was engaged to help assess alternative funding approaches, which included charge back models and a centrally funded model. The Budget Office and NUIT worked together to estimate costs and determine the appropriate allocation bases to charge back core service costs to schools and departments. This included many iterations of alternative headcount approaches (which is the basis upon which core service costs are allocated to schools and departments). The Budget Planning Group approved the charge back funding model as jointly recommended by the Budget Office and NUIT.
