Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Assistant Director of Purchasing, Ashlee Tilford, provided data for expenditures on electronics. Although WKU purchases Mac products that qualify as EPEAT Gold, our main contract is with Dell, who has discontinued tracking and reporting of EPEAT standards.
