Georgia State University
Overview
• Background• Administrator’s Perspective• Student’s Perspective• Accomplishments
![Page 3: Georgia State University Making the Student Technology Fee Work for Students Carolyn Gard, Director University Educational Technology Services and Shehab.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649ed95503460f94be884c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Georgia State University
Classic Problems
• Unable to get student lab computers on a regular replacement cycle
• Had common software in the labs and classrooms but no software management
• No way to upgrade/replace student systems– Antiquated email and Web system– Print reclamation system failing– Etc.

Student Tech Fee to the Rescue
• BOR implemented in 2001 for USG schools– Research Universities
• $75 Fall, $75 Spring and $50 Summer Semester
– Regents Guidelines outlining what to spend it on– Committee allocating the money must be at least
50% students
Fiscal Year
Amount Requested

Georgia State University
Award Process
• IS&T supports and manages award process and subsequent distribution of funds – huge job
• Process is very similar obtaining grant funding • Funds awarded based on proposals• Two major components
– Proposal submission and evaluation process– Evaluation committee defined according to Regents
Guidelines
![Page 6: Georgia State University Making the Student Technology Fee Work for Students Carolyn Gard, Director University Educational Technology Services and Shehab.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649ed95503460f94be884c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Georgia State University
Proposal Process
• Pre-proposal review by Facilities and IS&T• Proposals must
– Describe project and include a budget– Address the impact on students– Show how it relates to strategic plans
• Dean/VPs submit proposals with priority assigned• Evaluation is a two step process
– Vote on each proposal giving it a 1-highest funding priority,
2-award if funding available or 3-reject– Award funding to the 1s and then the 2s if funds are left

Georgia State University
Evaluation Committee
• Faculty are from the ISAT (Advisory Committee to IS&T)– Committee chaired by Chair of IAST
• Students nominated by Deans or SGA• Committee membership consists of 13 faculty and 13
students• Committee’s final report
– Table of awards– Guidelines for awarding money collected beyond that estimated– Issues for future committees to resolve before starting next FY

ISSUES
• Committee does not want to fund staff– Exceptions made for large projects– Expectation is to move staff to normal budget after a couple of
years– 13% of FY2004 budget goes to staff and student salaries
• Remodeling/renovation– Necessary to start many projects as a one time cost– Don’t want to use funds this way
• Security Budget for surveillance equipment, etc.• Funding online journals, subscriptions could move
regular budget to student technology fee • Prioritizing innovation vs. ongoing infrastructure

Accomplishments
• Extremely collegial process• Faculty
– Work as senate members for the greater good of the University– Represent college to a lesser degree
• Students – Work for entire student body– Understand benefit of technology in the classrooms
• Support staff work with the committee– College staff sometimes attend to speak for their proposals

LESSONS LEARNED
• Student input on committee is critical to ensure fee used for added value to student education
• Medium-sized committee works to build consensus
• Pre-proposal step is indispensable to efficient review process
• Need more collaboration within and between colleges/schools on technology proposals
