The Student Technology Fee Committee is continuing its process for special requests related to the purchase of technology. The intent of this decision is to provide a better work timeline and structure for the committee and add an element of fairness to the process for distributing limited funds. This committee is comprised of a majority of students with the primary task of recommending how student technology fee dollars will be allocated. Last year the Committee recommended in excess of $200,000 of additional funding for a number of projects. This year, it is anticipated that the committee will have approximately $150,000 to allocate.
