As already noted, the principal source of funding for NCSC is the services contract with The University of North Carolina.
Additional income derives from other sources but the level remains modest.
The Task Force carefully reviewed the array of services provided by NCSC and the cost associated with each of these services. Although all have value to the University community, we believe that the mission assumed by the Center is overly broad. Some of the resources provided could be acquired at the campus level for modest investments if the campus decided those resources were of sufficient value to warrant expenditure of campus funds. Yet other resources provided by the Center are beyond the financial capacity of a given campus. These resources are in the form of computational equipment, software, and professional personnel.
