Clayton State University Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Clayton State University (CSU) is a public university in Morrow, Georgia with over 6,200 students. Clayton State students live throughout Atlanta and represent every region of the United States and some 25 foreign countries. While one-third of the students are under 22, the median age is 29 and the University is recognized for two-thirds of its students being non-traditional, adult learners. World Report ranking of colleges identified Clayton State as having the most diverse student body population among comprehensive baccalaureate-level colleges and universities in the Southeastern United States. While the Information Technology Project was being developed, an initial pilot was tried with students in the Honors program. One of the biggest concerns of this implementation was what it would do to enrollment, as to be able to provide a laptop computer to a student, the technology fee for the campus was increased from $38 to $300. Since the college only had enough notebooks for the students and faculty with a handful of spares, repairs relied upon students returning their laptops when they were no longer enrolled – which did not always happen. It did not take the students long to figure out that if they paid $300 a term, they would pay more in the fee than the machine was worth, and would not have a machine when they left the college. To answer the students concerns about machines and cost, the technology fee was lowered back to $38 and instead of providing a notebook, the college required “on demand access” to a notebook computer. In addition to students providing their own computer, they would also be required to have their own Internet access, or they could access the Internet on the campus. This allowed the students to have their problems resolved on campus instead of having to send a machine off for service. The college also provides the Windows operating system and Microsoft Office suite to the students as part of their technology fee through the Microsoft Campus Agreement. These classrooms included wired network ports for each student, wireless access, an LCD projector and an instructor podium with notebook connections, a VCR, DVD player and an ELMO camera.
