Allocation of Information Technology Resources (F-39)
Original Implementation: October 31, 2000
Last Revision: January 30, 2007
RESOURCE ALLOCATION
The allocation of Information Technology Resources is consistent with the University's strategic plan as submitted to the State of Texas Legislative Budget Board every biennium. Within the strategic plan is a separate appendix for Information Resource (IR) goals and objectives. These items are updated every biennium and are consistent with the institution's purpose and goals.
Three organizational entities are primarily responsible for executing the IR Strategic Plan: Information Technology Services (ITS), Office of Instructional Technology (OIT), and the University Library. These three entities provide central IR services for the campus. The following chart displays the organization and functional responsibilities for these IR services.

The remaining IR responsibility lies primarily with the six academic colleges. Each college is responsible for offering state-of-the-art computer labs and faculty desktop computing.
Allocation of information technology resources is aligned with implementation of institutional goals, objectives, and strategies.
