- Good question Harriet!!!!!
-
- We are trying to institute a policy where every university workstation is
- replaced at least every five years.... about 20% each year..... this does
- amount to big dollars after you get a few thousand workstations all over
- campus, and must have approval from the heads of the university to commit
- to spending such a large amount.... Our Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs
- has asked for (and already received) a detailed inventory of all workstations
- that are attached to the Mainframe computers.... from this, he is planning to
- put together a proposal for our Chancellor to consider to implement this plan!
- If we accomplish this, it should be a workable plan that will continue to keep
- us pretty current with new technology.... (a 3 year plan would be better, but
- 5 years is better than the no-plan-at-all that we have now)....right now,
- every department try's to buy new computer workstations from their departmental
- budgets, and some departments have sufficient budget to keep current and others
- do not.... This issue is much better handled as a University concern rather
- than a Departmental budget concern.....
-
- I hope this helps...... I SENT THIS ONCE ALREADY BUT IT CAME BACK AS
- UNDELIVERABLE.... I HOPE THIS ONE MAKES IT THRU OK.....
