The electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines :
Although the university does not have EPEAT Certified computers currently, UWO does not support “consumer grade” computers. Although “consumer grade” computers are cheaper to purchase, they have higher maintenance costs and lower life cycle. By avoiding this classification of computers, less electronic waste is generated because campus computers are able to be used for longer time periods.
As hardware ages, it becomes more difficult to find replacement parts, newer applications will no longer run, and it becomes necessary to remove this old hardware from our support services. A list of processors that will no longer be supported is available by contacting the Help Desk. A request for the replacement of an old computer can be addressed to campus surplus by contacting the Help Desk (acshelp@uwosh.edu or (920) 424-3020). In this way, the university limits unnecessary consumption and ultimately waste by finding adequate computers on campus before resorting to outside sources.
