The temporary convenience of illegal parking is rarely worth the hassle and expense of a ticket or towing. These enforcement regulations apply to all persons who operate motor vehicles or bicycles on Indiana University property. The intent of these regulations is to make parking facilities available to those persons who must drive to conduct their affairs, to insure access at all times for emergency vehicles, and to promote pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular safety. Suppliers parked on the I.U.-Bloomington campus must use the visitor parking facilities or purchase and display a 'Vendor' permit to park in a zoned area. Handwritten notes, company placards or business cards will not be honored.
Suppliers failing to obtain a permit are subject to citations and towing.
All persons are encouraged to use the University Bus system, ride bicycles, or walk whenever possible. It is the mission of the Purchasing Department to support Indiana University's academic mission, the Purchasing Department, as a business agent of the university, creates a synergy in product and service procurement that employs effective, innovative methods to procure quality goods and services at a prudent cost. Our responsibility includes providing the university with policies that foster an ethical, responsive and efficient environment and that recognize our obligations to all internal and external constituencies. Purchasing professionals must have a highly developed sense of professional ethics to protect their own and their institution's reputation for fair dealing. To strengthen ethical awareness, and to provide guidelines for its members, the National Association of Educational Buyers has long promoted a code of ethics , that we follow.
