Our center competes for both of these pools. To the extent that a unit/dept. is able to show usage, innovation, and student satisfaction, the return is fairly generous. It's not like having a guaranteed amount in a recurring budget for new equipment and personnel, but it ain't bad. And it has spurred inter/intra departmental tech initiatives. -jeff -- Jeff Magoto 1236 University of Oregon Director, Yamada Language Center Eugene, OR 97403-1236 mailto:[log in to unmask] http://babel.uoregon.edu (541) 346-4319, Fax: (541) 346-3917
