POLICY:

University policy does not permit the purchase of such items as briefcases, flower vases and arrangements, coffee pots, expensive desk pads, or other such appointments. These and such other items as listed below are not provided by University funds, but are considered personal items. Any individual who wishes to have such items in the office should purchase them at his or her own expense. University letterheads should not be used for ordering personal items to be paid for by the individual. When letterheads are used, the vendor will often bill the University rather than the individual, resulting in time consuming and expensive correspondence.
