Teaching, Technology, and Learning

Just like a stock of a company can be delisted from the exchange for failing to trade above a certain price, our computer science labs were recently "delisted" by ITS for failing to meet a utilization threshold of 5%.

I'm not sure how the 5% was calculated (time spent logged in? number of logins?) but when our two labs were delisted one was about 4.5% and the other was around 1.5% utilization.

What this means for our labs is they are no longer supported by ITS. Supported labs get money for maintenance and machine lifecycle replacement every 4-5 years. The money came from student technology fees. This means we'll have to pay for upgrading the lab machines ourselves.
