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. 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 information resource (IR) function: 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 the functional responsibilities for these IR services.
