Each computer in the replacement plan is designated as being in one of these three groups with a tentative date indicated for replacement. By the nature of their responsibilities, some individuals may need to have more than one computer to accomplish their responsibilities - for example, if they must use both Macintosh and Windows platforms in their work. The College provides an interest-free loan program to assist individuals in acquiring computers for their personal use.
Computers are essential tools for faculty, even when they are on sabbatical leave.
For this reason the college permits faculty on leave to continue to use their computer during that period. Computers will be provided to faculty replacements from a pool of computers designated for this purpose. Computers for student organizations will be replaced occasionally when need and resources make replacement appropriate. Computers are not to be purchased from departmental operating budgets. Only special funds designated for computer replacement or equipment purchases may be used for this purpose.
