UW-IT manages an annual budget of approximately $105 million to provide support to the University community through the IT service areas listed below. Like all University units, UW-IT took a slightly less than five percent budget reduction to our state allocation of general operating funds. UW-IT is committed to transparency and accountability to the UW community, and carefully ensures that limited resources are allocated to the highest priorities, with input from information technology governance boards and committees comprised of representatives from across the University.
