So . . . • Things Needed to Change
• On the thin side
• FTE to student ratio is 1:2055
• Employing 70 students technology workers
![Page 7: Tom Rees - trees@u.arizona.edu 520.621.9480trees@u.arizona.edu Assistant Director - Office of Student Computing Resources University of Arizona.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649e315503460f94b22190/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What we wanted • Leverage Great People
• Right person for the right task - regardless of job description
• Get maximum input in minimum time
• Negate the “Run over by a bus” syndrome
• Respond to change - quickly with minimum of bureaucracy
• Delegate authority/responsibility with accountability
