Group: Higher Education - Utah Education Network Agency: Utah Education Network Function The Utah Education Network (UEN), a partnership of Utah's public and higher education institutions, delivers up-to-date innovations in educational technology statewide. It operates the public television station, KUEN-9, which includes UEN-TV, MHz Worldview, and UEN-TV News; works closely with partner station KUED-7; provides educational interactions through Interactive Video-Conferencing (IVC); and connects state institutions to each other and the Internet. Its mission is to 'provide the citizens of Utah access to the highest quality, most effective instructional experiences, administrative support services, library services, student services, and teacher resources regardless of location or time." Statutory Authority Utah Code Annotated 53B-17 establishes UEN and assigns its responsibilities. - UCA 53B-17-102 establishes UEN as a consortium and partnership between public and higher education to support the telecommunications needs of education institutions throughout the state.
- UCA 53B-17-102 requires the Legislature to provide appropriation, subject to budget constraints, for the operation of UEN in providing Internet-based and telecommunications services to public and higher education institutions.
- UCA 53B-17-104 directs UEN to coordinate the statewide development and implementation of the data network for education.
Funding Detail In the past, UEN has had as many as four line items, with earmarked funds going to UEN itself, as well as to the University of Utah, Utah State University, and the College of Eastern Utah through UEN. During the past four years, the Legislature has streamlined these appropriations so that funds go directly to the recipient. UEN continues to coordinate the activities as directed by law. | Sources of Finance | 2006
