Why University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill recommends IBM PCs. >In addition to the terms in UNC-CH's request for proposal, IBM will provide: a $1 million grant for a research project involving the university and IBM that will examine the impact of the campuswide computer initiative. a $1 million grant for computing equipment that will be awarded to faculty, students and staff to encourage the creative use of technology in the curriculum. a $500,000 grant to purchase hardware for UNC-CH's information technology staff to support training and development needs associated with the Carolina Computing Initiative. support for a faculty member to take an annual sabbatical at IBM's Research Triangle Park's facility; support for at least 10 student interns to work each summer in the RTP facility.< unc.edu Essentially, UNC is taking 2.5 million in walking-around money to coerce freshmen into buying something they wouldn't have otherwise.
