Policy for Funding the Acquisition and Support of University Workstations

All workstations will be purchased or leased through Information Services.

The IS Division maintains a central fund for the replacement of workstations for GPR based operations. The fund covers an optimal laptop computer with standard campus software installed. In general, category “a” represents individuals on a four year replacement cycle, and categories b-j are arranged in priority order for receiving five-year-old computers:

    a) GPR funded permanent faculty, academic staff, and classified staff positions of 50 percent or more.

    b) GPR funded permanent faculty, academic staff, and classified staff positions less than 50 percent that are housed in the same suite where the cumulative time worked is greater than 50 percent.

    c) Temporary instructional staff (adjuncts, lecturers) 50 percent time or more.

    d) Visiting faculty who are at the University for a semester or more.

    e) Project Appointment or LTEs that are filling permanent positions of 50 percent or more

    f)  GPR funded graduate assistants and student employees less than 50 percent that are housed in the same suite where the cumulative time worked is greater than 50 percent.

    g) Instructor workstations in general assignment classrooms

    h) Generally scheduled conference rooms

    i)  Kiosks

    j)   Emeriti Office Suite – nine workstations



Workstations for non-GPR based operations, temporary staff and special departmental needs are funded by the department, as noted below: 

    a) All positions funded by non-GPR funds

    b) Grant funded positions

    c) Temporary instructional staff (adjuncts, lecturers) less than 50 percent time.

    d) Project Appointment or Limited Term Employee positions

    e) UW Extension

    f)  Departmental conference rooms

 

Additional charges for the following will be the responsibility of the department regardless of funding or employee type:

    ·   Laptops – department pays the differential

    ·   Larger and/or additional monitors

    ·   Printers, scanners and other peripherals

    ·   Additional cables

    ·  Other customizations
