Campus Technology Services officials are looking for more employees to increase efficiency.
Campus tech handles technological issues including the recovery of online student accounts, fixing the Wi-Fi and the distribution of technological hardware. They assist students and professors during the day and evening.
“We have about 20 employees that take care of everything on campus,” said Gerry Hunt, chief information officer of campus tech. “We’re not dangerously low. We’re not as high as we want to be.”
Students have mixed responses on the effectiveness of campus tech and whether or not they’re adequately staffed.
“Judging by how things don’t get fixed, I would say they’re understaffed,” said Corinne Prudente, acting junior. “But there’s really no way of knowing for sure. I don’t like the lack of transparency. I just don’t find the level of service to be acceptable for how much we pay to go here.”
Some students said they enjoy the services provided by campus tech.
“I like campus tech, for the most part,” said Matthew Lavery, acting sophomore. “But, at times, they’re difficult to get a hold of. I’ve had a couple of times where they’ve kind of ignored me.”
Lavery said the campus tech staff is skilled and of adequate size.
Hunt said he wants more employees, especially ones who will work evenings and have a technical field of expertise. He also said technical knowledge isn’t necessary and employees just need to be hardworking and willing to learn. They are also adding more student employee positions.
“We rely on student workers extensively,” Hunt said. “They’re important to us, just like our full-time positions.”
