Hey guys,
Following this thread… I have a hard time believing someone can’t get away with putting $160 into an expense for their IT department. Any budget I’ve ever seen accounts for some additional day to day expenses within a certain limit. I mean what do you do if a hard drive fails or you need more RAM for a server – go through an approval process with the board? I don’t think it’s the school that’s being cheap…
Depends on the department. Some of them are pretty much entirely funded by grants. Grant comes in, you get money for new hardware to support it...otherwise...you try to beg for something from some other department...
Well then, you pay for it out of your own money to make your life better, or you suffer with cacti.
