In the short term, the University has adequate support staff that provides support for all faculty, staff and students. In the long term however, the IT department plans employing more technical support staff that would be dedicated to only classroom and laboratory support. If in the short term also our user numbers increase beyond the capacity of the IT department augments additional support staff swiftly.
