OIT-SPONSORED INSTALLS - NEW FACULTY FALL 2007

In an effort to upgrade the current technology on campus for the betterment of ETSU as a whole and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), the Office of Information Technology will have available a limited number of computers to dispense.  These computers will be dispersed to new-position faculty that will start in Fall 2007. There will be an option of one of three different configurations for each platform (PC/Mac). Either of the two pre-defined upgrades selected will result in the department being charged for the difference between the base model (Level 1) and the model selected.

Primary Criteria:
Position must be a NEW, full-time, permanent assignment (a NEW position number assigned via Human Resources)
Position cannot have a grant or foundation account as its primary payroll account
(see additional criteria at the bottom of this page)
Adjunct Faculty, Auxiliary Services, Family Practice personnel, grant-funded or partially grant-funded positions, student workers, or graduate assistants will NOT be eligible for this project.  Eligibility of Physical Plant employees will be evaluated on an individual basis, based on job requirements. Exceptions are not granted.

CONDITIONS AND TERMS
      I.         PURPOSE

The purpose of this project is to bring into line those employees that are currently using less-than-adequate computer technology in the course of their job duties.  OIT will purchase and maintain the computers.  Each OIT-Sponsored computer will be tagged with a special label to indicate it as such.

OIT will purchase and maintain the computers.  These computers will be available for a 4-year time period.  At the end of that time, should OIT not be able to continue with sponsoring this project, the department MUST take this into consideration when developing their budgets.  These computers must be surplused at the end of the 4 year time period.

II.        STANDARD SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS

A basic software image will be installed on each of the computers as they arrive on campus.  OIT will be charged with supporting these software applications on all desktops and laptops. 

Any exceptions to the software configuration will be considered on an individual basis, and should be in direct support of your status as an employee.

III.      RESTRICTIONS FOR OBTAINING AN OIT-SPONSORED COMPUTER

 The employee must be in a fulltime, permanent position.  No part-time, temporary employee will be eligible.

In order to obtain an OIT-Sponsored Computer, the user MUST relinquish their current computer.  Except under circumstances that are pre-approved by the Vice-President for Administration, there will be no “trickle-downs”, or swapping around of computers.  It will be a one-to-one replacement, with the old one being surplused by university policy methods.  The only exception to this guideline will be for those employees that currently have no computer at all, or are NEW faculty positions starting in a Fall semester (i.e. not filling a position that currently exists).

Functional network connections should be available prior to any new computer installation.
