(1) this budget spreadsheet does not include salaries for 3 FTE exempt and 1 FTE non-exempt central support staff. It does, however, include all student staff salaries associated with the program.
(2) All student salaries include 26% benefits rate.
(3) RCC compensation is supplemented by a $30 in room ethernet activation fee. This year we expect $60,000 in revenue from this fee.
(4) Students are charged 5 cents per page to print on cluster laser printers. We expect to take in $26,000 in revenue for this printing. Of this, $20,000 goes directly towards cost recovery of printing supplies and $6,000 supplements the hardware maintenance budget.

Total Clusters
Over 340 computers in 70 locations serving about 9,000 residents.

Mix of PhoneNet, Thin Ethernet and 10baseT -- Migrating to 10baseT.
Resident Computer Coordinators
House staff members (along with RAs, Head AAs, TAs etc.) who manage
computer clusters, provide computer-based education, consult with
residents on any and all computer related problems. RCCs also
teach the CS1c "Introduction to Micro Computing" course in each house.
RCCs have become the primary campus consulting resource for Stanford's
housed undergraduates. Our reliance on these expert students is the key
to the efficiency and effectiveness of the program. A listing of the current
Stanford Resident Computer Coordinators (RCC's) is given in the
RCC Directory.
There is also a detailed job description.
RCC compensation and perks
- $630 per quarter plus $150 for those who support in-room connections.
- Exemption from housing draw plus room priority
- Leadership and responsibility
- Valuable industry contact.
