How much are your student's paying in 'computer technology' fees?
What do they get for these fees?
What are your institution's plans for future technology and how
will it be funded?
We (Winona State University) have 100% (7,000) enrolled students on EMail
through Vax/VMS systems, about 15 students per personal computer in the
lab environments, and all dorm rooms wired for etherent - one port per
resident with an average of two ports per room.
For this, students now pay $1 per credit hour with a maximum of $36 a year,
however we need and hope to get $2.60 per credit hour to a maximum
of about $130 a year.
Our future plans include the possibility of a laptop computer for every
student and faculty member with public printing and internet (ethernet)
ports in every classroom, in the library and other public places.
Thank you for any input, feedback or discussion you can offer.
