From the document

The Queensborough Community College Student Technology Fee Committee convened virtually during the 2020-2021 academic year to administer and evaluate expenditures under the FY 2021 plan adopted in April 2020. ... In March 2020 when the New York Governor enacted the COVID19 pandemic pause, all procurements were delayed indefinitely. This resulted in roll forward of fees for two years of over $900,000 that will be considered for allocation by the FY22 committee during the academic year.
