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 education statewide through state-of-the-art technology . It operates a public television station, KUEN-9, which includes UEN-TV, MHz Worldview, and UEN-TV News. It works closely with partner station KUED-7. It provides educational interactions through Interactive Video-Conferencing (IVC), and connects state institutions to each other and the Internet. UEN's 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.
Performance UEN has specific accountability measures for which it maintains an on-line dashboard. It measures its performance in 'visits' to various web sites , useage of the Pioneer Library, and sessions of interactive video conferencing. It also closely monitors network utilization and reliability, among other things, and reports those results monthly to its steering committee. Funding Detail UEN's financial resources come from General and Education Fund appropriations, federal grants, federal e-rate discounts, and reimbursement by education entities. As UEN's state appropriation has decreased, it has aggressively pursued federal grants. For FY 2010, state appropriations made up about 60% of UEN's budget. In FY 2011, federal resources will exceed state appropriations as a share of UEN's budget due in large part to a $13 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant.  In past years, UEN's budget has been appropriated in numerous line items. Since FY 2008, it has all been appropriated to one line item, allowing UEN maximum flexibility in managing resources. Detail by program within that line item can be found here. | Sources of Finance | 2007
