Since Operations does not have a budget for these types of purchases, providing the funds for your request is your departments responsibility.

1.      Complete an inventory of the proposed donation. NOTE: If an accurate, complete inventory is not made available the offer MUST be declined.

Remember, all hazardous or regulated material MUST be accompanied by an MSDS to be accepted. The university is required by law to have them on file. Any problems that arise with MSDS acquisition, labeling, or product condition might be an indication of why they are being disposed of in the first place. By taking possession of any product the university assumes all liability associated with, and costs incurred for, proper storage and disposal of that material.

University vehicles will not be permitted to be used for personal business and will not be used for trips over 250 miles one way. To help reduce driver distractions the front seat passenger will assist by reading maps, making phone calls and taking care of passenger needs. Smoking or the use of tobacco in any form is prohibited in all University owned vehicles. When using the university vans any luggage will be secured inside the vehicle and below the seat top level, never on the roof.

Any person driving their personal vehicle for University business will be reimbursed mileage only if they are on the University’s approved list.

The department's account will be debited for any repair costs that result from damage to a University vehicle because of negligent use. Negligent use is defined as failure to observe traffic laws, failure to properly secure vehicle, ignoring vehicle warning system, or failure to maintain vehicle in safe and proper operating condition. The University requires the use of seat belts by all persons at all times for any vehicle. Your driving privileges may be suspended, for an indefinite period, for any negligent use of University vehicles.
