Introduction
UW-IT manages an annual budget of approximately $107 million to provide support to the University community through the service areas listed below. Almost 50 percent ($51,467,735) of UW-IT’s FY 2015 budget is dedicated to providing a basic bundle of critical IT services to all UW students, faculty and staff.
These basic services are supported by $32,279,747 in UW central funds and $19,187,988 from the Technology Recharge Fee (TRF). This fee was established in FY 2011 to provide a sustainable, long-term funding model for IT. It replaced an outdated recharge model based on phone lines, which did not fully cover the cost of services. The TRF is a per-capita rate paid by all UW academic and administrative units and UW Medical Centers. UW-IT is committed to using our resources efficiently and effectively to meet the present and future needs of the UW community, and to providing transparency and accountability in our use of resources.
