Computer labs are in short supply.
There is more demand than resource available. This situation will increase in the short term, not improve as faculty encouraged to incorporate technology into their courses actually do so. Students will find access to computer labs even more difficult as not only the number of faculty seeking to use these facilities in their instruction increases, but the extra-classroom work assigned increasingly requires access to the computing facilities for access applications software of the Internet. The mobile Computing Initiative may offer some relief to these problems in the long term, but in fact will exacerbate the problem of access short term. The current policy favors those who have been using the labs in previous years, as they are familiar with the process and adept at following the rules, thus assuming their needs are accommodated.
