What process did the university use to arrive at the decision to expand and raise the student technology fee?
For more than a year, deans and school administrators as well as the Faculty Senate discussed funding the IT needs of the university. A variety of funding mechanisms were considered, and in the end the senior administration chose to extend the technology fee to all students. This approach keeps the investments in IT visible and understandable to everyone across the university, and ensures that funds are earmarked for IT projects.
