In October 2010, the university adopted a new computer purchasing policy, which was implemented by the Office of the Vice-President, Services. As the policy states, it “sets out university-wide standards for computer provisioning in order to reduce the cost of ownership and to provide reliable information technology (“IT”) support to university members.”
The Concordia research community is excluded from this policy until January 2012 due to the diversity of their research needs. Therefore, researchers can continue to purchase computer equipment with their awarded grant funds without additional justification.
The Office of the Vice-President, Services, will ensure that research needs are taken into consideration in preparation for January 2012, when the policy for equipment bought with research funds comes into effect.
