Surplus Property

Purchasing Services supports prudent stewardship of University assets by promoting the consideration of reusing quality surplus items generated on campus prior to considering the purchase of new items.

Disposal of Computing Equipment

The Office of the Comptroller, in conjunction with the Business Advisory Board, issued Financial Policy 1106.31, Plant Assets-Disposal of Computing Equipment. This policy, which has an effective date of October 1, 2004, complements the existing Plant Asset series of policies by providing specific guidelines for the disposal of computing equipment that no longer meets the current business needs of the department.

In general, departments may donate, sell or recycle computing equipment that no longer meets either the current needs of the department or the minimum qualifications to remain on the campus network.
