The College will comply with Board of Regents Policy on emeritus faculty and off-campus equipment; see additional details in the supporting information section. Appropriate use requirements apply to all users of off-campus equipment. Units within the College may not provide laptops or other items to faculty, staff members, or students as entitlements, gifts, etc.

Quantity Limits

...

The term, assignment, refers to the individual or entity listed on the off-campus equipment authorization form. There are no limitations on the number or type of devices that may be assigned to a faculty or staff member for the duration of a field school or field research project as long as the devices are used for University purposes.  When applicable, indicate student use of field equipment on the authorization form under 'Use to be Made of Property.’ If the item will be used by a specific student rather than a class, include the student’s name on the form.  Up to 3 inventoried, information technology (IT) devices (computer, printer, scanner, projector, etc.) may be assigned to a specific faculty or staff member for individual off-campus use; if additional inventoried IT devices are needed for individual use, they may be checked out from a departmental pool. 

Off-campus Devices and Sensitive Data

If sensitive data must be stored on off-campus devices, develop a process with your IT (information technology) professional to ensure that sensitive data are protected. The supporting information section contains a link to a list of potentially sensitive data items.  Franklin College strongly recommends using Absolute Track software on off-campus laptops that attach to the Internet and contain sensitive data; see the supporting information section of this document for additional details about sensitive data and Absolute Track. The current cost of Absolute Track is $12 per device per year. The supporting information section of this document contains a link to an Absolute Track order form customized for Franklin College.

Laptops and other portable IT devices used off campus must be returned to campus for maintenance and updates prior to the annual renewal process. 

Enforcement

Individuals found to be in violation of this policy may lose eligibility to use state-owned equipment off campus. If negligence results in theft or sensitive data exposure, the faculty member, staff member, or student may be responsible for equipment replacement or reimbursement of legal fees at the discretion of the Dean and Legal Affairs.
