Message on behalf of Joseph Scully, Senior Vice President and CFO, and Mira Lalovic-Hand, Senior Vice President and CIO:
We are experiencing shipping delays with computers and peripheral devices, particularly monitors and printers, that range from a few weeks to several months.
Personal Purchases Will Not Be Reimbursed
While we understand the frustration over these delays, all technology purchases must be submitted through our
approved procurement process to ensure compliance with University policies, including the
Technology Ownership Policy. We will not reimburse employees who purchase technology using personal funds or otherwise try to circumvent the University’s procurement process.
Managing Your Current & Future Technology Purchases
We are directly notifying employees who have recently placed orders to address potential shipment delays and offer alternate options, whenever possible.
As you consider your technology needs for the rest of this fiscal year, we encourage you to place your orders as early as possible to help with timely delivery and receiving. Even orders placed now may not be processed and fulfilled during the current fiscal year depending on the supplier.
