The other four may be filled by retirements from CIT, the student computer fee increase and recharges for computer service. We would expect some adjustment to occur during the first year. Perhaps sliding a department or two from one team to another. Except in the cases of the library and computer science. Teams are clustered both by location and by the support work CIT finds typical in the specified departments.
Location is used as a baseline clustering factor.
Support staff are located with the faculty they support, so that faculty will have regular interaction with them and can reach them easily for immediate help. Math may need to slide to another team in South Hall given their distance from the natural sciences. However, their software overlap is sufficiently high to warrant placing them in the natural sciences team for the time being. Of course, departments should be encourages to draw on the expertise of support staff from other teams as needed. Records of tech support team repair work would be submitted to the CIT data base so that others might benefit from their repair solutions.
