  6. UTFAB Funding Criteria • The service’s ability to benefit as many CSU students as possible. • The service’s ability to effectively use the fee. • The project proposal is not funded through individual college Charges for Technology. • The service’s adherence to its planned budget and accountability for its expenses throughout the past fiscal year, if appropriate. • The service’s potential for direct student use. • The effort and thought reflected in the project plan. • Quantitative justification and clarity of the project plan and presentation. • Level of co-sponsorship by the University. • Balance between central and distributed technology. • Project costs and potential benefit. } New in ‘06 6 UTFAB Fall SFRB Presentation

  7. UTF Revenue • University Technology Fee = $15/semester: • Collected from every student, including partial-fee paying • Annual revenue about $820,000 • Vs. about $3.2 million in Charges for Technology • This revenue stays entirely within the eight colleges • UTF “complements” this, to maintain an ‘adequate’ level of central IT 7 UTFAB Fall SFRB Presentation
