The following guidelines are provided to assist in analyzing telephone needs and in providing efficient and economical telephone service.
Telephones are tools.
It is important that telephone costs and benefits always be considered in relation to the activities they serve, and that the efficient and economical performance of university programs be the basic criteria. Naturally, every circumstance cannot be anticipated in these guidelines. They will be applicable in most cases. However, in exceptional cases where the basic objective of providing necessary telephone service at lowest cost can be achieved better in another way, the Chancellor, or the Vice Chancellor responsible for communications, may authorize deviation from the guidelines to meet special campus conditions. It is recommended that such variations be kept to a minimum.
