28 Education and Technology Fee Increase Justification In FY16-17, North Carolina A&T launched a comprehensive program to address technology needs in classrooms and computer laboratories. The core of this program is the installation of modern technology, including computer platforms that are appropriate to the academic discipline. This will lead into an equipment refresh cycle in which 20% of classrooms and computer labs are upgraded each year to ensure that this equipment remains current and in working order. The program also includes the creation of a student technician program aimed at improving technology support for faculty in classrooms. The fee increase is requested to ensure that the university has the funds necessary to sustain the refresh cycle in coming years. It will also be used to fund software to be installed on classroom computers and in computer labs, and to fund the student technician program. This fee increase will also support the purchase of consumable academic supplies (lab equipment and material) annually. 28
