Funding Plan

The funding plan to achieve the target environment described in the ITS Initiative is based on a combination of on-going campus support, the "Early Start/Easy Access" proposal, and on-going headcount-based allocations from the Chancellor’s Office, as indicated in the following chart. Deliverables and the associated budgets are described later in this document.

The FY96/97 SFSU campus initiative funding includes the ITE initiatives, Instructional Equipment funding and special, one-time funding of $700,000 for the Library’s Integrated Library System. None of the SFSU campus initiative allocations includes on-going personnel, operating or equipment expenses associated with technology infrastructure installed and supported prior to FY95/96 in any area, including the colleges, the Library, Audio Visual Services, CET or Computing Services. In Computing Services, for example, the total FY97/98 budget (including administrative computing and network services) is $4,738,000, of which only $655,000 is currently provided by initiative funding.

TOTAL $3,856,500 $3,886,000 $4,872,000 $5,600,000

Even though the budgets in this proposal do not include on-going operating, equipment or personnel costs associated with the technology infrastructure in place in FY95/96, the funding required to meet ITS objectives will exceed the available budget by approximately $1-2 million annually. The campus will seek additional funding to fully implement the Baseline plan. The plan was designed to be scaleable, however, so that individual projects can be adjusted to match available funding.
