Cell Phones
Revised University policy #55.075 (Cell Phones) was effective February 3, 2005. It can be found online at: http://www.ohiou.edu/policy/55-075.html.
An excerpt from the policy is:
"Beginning immediately upon the approval of this policy, the university will no longer purchase any new cell phones, nor will any existing cell phone contracts be renewed or extended. In order to avoid cancellation fees, and to allow for an orderly transition, anyone currently using a university-owned cell phone, acquired prior to the establishment of this policy, has two years from the effective date of this revision of the policy to comply with this revised policy (see the signature block, top left of first page). Beginning two years after the effective date, the university will no longer make direct payments to cell phone providers, using a check, or purchasing card, or any other means. Until that date, university-owned cell phones may be used for business calls only. Inadvertent personal calls must be marked on the statement, and associated costs must be refunded to the university. Payment procedures for still-active university-owned cell phones are described online at the Finance Division's Cell Phone Guidelines website, http://www.finance.ohiou.edu/purch/cellphone.htm. "
