2018 Reaffirmation Teams - Financial and Physical Resources and Information Technology Committee

Financial and Physical Resources and Information Technology Committee

This committee ensured that the University met the guidelines for fiscal soundness and stability, financial aid administration and regulation, sponsored research programs, and physical facilities. As a part of the committee's work, this group also focused on environmental health and safety issues as well as campus security. This committee also reviewed the entire information technology infrastructure, including the computer labs, the wireless network, email systems, and even the UT Dallas web portal to identify the degree to which UT Dallas' information technology infrastructure services not only met the needs of students but also provided adequate safeguards against internet-driven viruses and scams.
