STUDENT TECHNOLOGY FEE, 1999-00

This report describes uses of the 1999-2000 Student Technology Fee at UW Oshkosh. Several of the projects detailed below were approved in earlier years and continue as permanently funded projects. The remaining one-time expenditures were approved after review and recommendations from the Student Technology Fee Committee.
STAFFING TO SUPPORT STUDENT COMPUTING (LABS, SOFTWARE, NETWORK, AND MAINTENANCE):

Three full-time support positions (a PC technician, a PC/LAN technician, and a Lab Manager) continued in 1998-99. These positions collectively substantially increase the staff assistance available to support student computing needs. All three positions will continue to be funded from the Student Technology Fee in subsequent years.

Expenditures: $100,700

CONTINUED INCREASED STUDENT COMPUTER LAB ACCESS AND ASSISTANCE:

The Radford Computer Lab, the University's largest general access computer lab with 130 workstations, continued as a 24-hour lab. Student Technology Fee funds were used to hire student lab assistants for the Lab's extended hours and to provide a second lab consultant during "peak hours". In addition, the Student Technology Fee was used for student lab consultants in the Polk Computer Lab (funded by the Technology Fee in 1996-97), including extending the Polk Lab hours to provide a better match between the hours for Polk Library and the computer lab. The Student Technology Fee also paid for annual maintenance on the security devices installed on the Radford exterior building door and lab door; these devices allow the 24-Hour Lab to be open while the rest of the building is closed.

Expenditures: $75,500

Expenditures: $9,300

RESIDENCE HALL COMPUTER LAB UPGRADES:

Student Technology Funds were used to purchase twelve new laser printers, three Macintosh Power PC computers, and six Pentium II computers for the Residence Hall labs. The PowerPC and Pentium II computers replaced older (obsolete) hardware.

Expenditures: $20,600

REPLACEMENT OF OBSOLETE WORKSTATIONS IN LIBRARY REFERENCE ROOM:

Student Technology funds were used to replace obsolete computers in Polk Library's Reference Room with new Pentium II computers. These computers are used by students to access library and Web electronic resources.

Student Technology Funds were used to purchase three computers and one printer for the Counseling Center's Career Resource Library; one computer and software for the Campus Connection Student Involvement Center; five computers, software, and furniture for Career Services' Student Resource Room; one laptop computer for the Model UN program; and one computer and laser printer for Titan TV student organizations.

Expenditures: $30,600

CONTINUED AND EXPANDED SUPPORT FOR LASER PRINTING IN THE GENERAL ACCESS COMPUTER LABS:

Student Technology Fee funds were used to continue support for laser printing in the Radford Computer Lab and to expand it to other labs. Funds provided a support budget per printer for paper, toner cartridges, and maintenance. In addition, three laser printers were installed in the Clow Lab and one each in the Halsey, Polk, and Swart Labs, with annual support budgets per printer established.

Expenditures: $62,800

Student Technology Fee funds were provided Polk Library to continue "no fee" laser printing for students in the Library Reference area for students using electronic information resources. In addition, funding was provided to purchase one replacement laser printer
