Not quite true, especially not for the higher end research universities.
The University of Washington is projected to spend $2B on modernizing IT infrastructure (which does seem like a reasonable amount).
In that number though is $340M to update it's accounting system. Not quite directly comparable to $600M for HR, but not completely perpendicular either
- alephnerd 2y agoIt's $300M over 10 years split across 26 institutions. In fact I'd say this is a better deal than the one the UW Systen got.
- momoschili 2y agoA lot more institutions, but in terms of total number of students, about 4x the UW system, ~2x amount of administrative staff, 4x the academic staff. Not saying the UW got a good deal of course, it's pretty clear based on the progress of the modernization that UW didn't.
