This is actually the research network, so this is for facalty, post-doctural fellows and post-graduate students to do their research jobs. The only undergraduates involved are 4th year ones doing research projects within the research teams. The space being allocated is the basic resource supplied centrally by the Department and for some is the only resource that they have as they don't get any money for their own computing systems in their grants. > When you solve this problem, the quota problem is moot. Not really, not when you have few resources but have to give them out fairly.
