The Utah Education Network within the Utah Education and Government Sector
● UEN is an educational technology partnership of public and higher education, providing educational technology services statewide.
● Established by statute, and reports directly to the Legislature and the Governor.
● UEN is governed by a 25 member Steering Committee whose members represent public and higher education, state library director, governor’s office, and state legislature

UEN’s Core Responsibility
● The network is a public-private partnership between UEN and Utah telecommunications providers.
● UEN does not own the network. We lease circuits from telecommunications companies using multi-year contracts.
To provide a statewide wide area network with robust and reliable connectivity to the Internet for every public school and college, and every public library.

Funding Model Challenges
• We are currently working with the Steering Committee to modify the funding model, but still keep its main features
• During past 4 years, our state appropriation has been reduced by $4 million
• 23 staff positions have been eliminated, and many other budget cutting steps taken
