A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
The university has a cost-per-copy program in place that provides 735 machines to campus departments. This program exclusively uses 30% PCW copy paper and totals 1.57 Million sheets per month. Further, this program exclusively provides recycled toner cartridges, imaging units, fusers, rollers and transfer belts.
