1. What is the institution's responsibility to provide computers for faculty and staff?

In the first IRTF Report, the College set the goal of providing a computer to all appropriate faculty and staff desktops. This goal was achieved within a few years of the report's publication. Now, the number of computers has far exceeded this count as employees request computers for:

  • Laboratories and studios
  • Classrooms
  • Study rooms and departmental lounges
  • Library carrels and study areas
  • Home and laptops for travel
As a result, the pressure to acquire more computers did not diminish following the placement of computers on all desktops.
