A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn:
The percentages are a reflection of the data provided by UNCW's preferred vendor, Staples. Per the STARS techical manual, office paper is defined as "high grade papers such as copier paper, computer printout, and stationary". We have included cp[y, cut sheet, multipurpose, inkjet, laser, and printing papers. The time period of this information ranged from a one- year time period, from January to Decemeber 2023. The information above is strictly for Staples office paper purchasing and does not account for other paper purchasing from different companies. The purchasing of paper is a decentralized task performed by many people on campus with no standardized product description.
