Equipment Management Responsibility and Stewardship

• Introduction
• Asset Representative
• Department Head
• Principal Investigator

 

The department head is ultimately responsible for the care, security, maintenance, financial records, physical inventory, disposal, and control of equipment assigned to their department.

• Ensure a physical inventory takes place at the time they are appointed department head
• Annually review use of equipment to determine if any equipment is excess
• Sign the Equipment Certification Form
• In the event the Equipment Certification Form is delinquent or the department fails an equipment audit, the department head will receive written notification
• Approve transactions involving equipment with an original acquisition value of $10,000 or more as well as approve unusual or exceptional equipment requests (e.g., Principal Investigator is transferring to another university and requests that university equipment be transferred)
