A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
All office paper must be purchased from Office Depot and the purchase of office paper type is per the ordering departments needs. Paper designated on our core list of items would encourage a department to use that product. Purchases are reviewed/audited by Purchasing/PCard staff to ensure adherence to any Purchasing policy. The procure-to-pay requisition process requires Purchasing approval through FAST workflow. PCard holders are required to know policy prior to receiving a PCard and expenditures are continuously audited.
Faculty, staff and students can help achieve the University’s waste reduction goals by practicing the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Priority should be given to reducing usage which will consequently reduce waste upstream. By purchasing products made from recycled material waste can be reused or recycled. Examples are:
- Letterhead stationery, envelopes, and business cards made from recycled paper
- Office supplies
- Recycled toner cartridges
