Computer Fee disbursements in order to purchase and maintain assistive

Ron and all,<br>
<br>
For the most part, our captioning and AT utilized by departments is purchased
via general funds. However, we have a student-lead committee here at
UW-Milwaukee that does RFPs from across campus for technology funds. Our office
(in conjunction with the University Tech folks) has written and received
funding for a number of projects - including a smarttechnology pilot project,
portable CCTVs, an updated Accessibility Center computer lab, etc. Minimal
staff support is received this way - often only to implement the purchase and
training.<br>
