University of Michigan - Flint

The student-generated Technology Fee has had a tremendous impact on providing a permanent funding source needed to fully implement the UM-Flint Technology Plan. Acquiring base funding for full implementation of the UM-Flint Technology Plan remains a significant challenge. The 2004/05 Technology Fee increase to $65.00 for full-time students and $32.50 for part-time students has created some additional revenue but not enough to cover the ever-increasing gap between the Technology Plan’s projected costs and existing funding sources created by the addition of equipment needed to support the William S. White Building and mediated classroom services. Technology Plan items still awaiting base funding include faculty/staff office equipment, infrastructure, mediated classroom services, maintenance contracts, and other supported software.
