Salaries fits under all four of these, especially the last, given the rate at which we are losing people. Monies that come to IT from student fund are used for open labs across campus and fund replacement of equipment every three years. The committee doesn't know what individual college labs are doing for funding of replacement. The University needs to look at the whole funding issue campus-wide. Centralize issues of hardware and software, not unlike deferred maintenance.
Depreciation needs to be funded.
Standards need to be instituted. The sharing of technology needs to be expanded. There needs to be a campus-wide awareness of what is being used and who might have expertise in various areas. If standards are going to be implemented, there needs to be training and retraining available, which is on-going and regularly. Changes in the systems, upgrades, or general information from IT needs to be better disseminated and needs to be written in a language that is readily understandable by someone with little background.
