     The Academic Computing and Telecommunications Committee recommends that the University of Kansas adopt a policy stating that all employees are required to have access to technological equipment (such as computers) in order to

• Obtain information relevant to their job functions (such as university policies)
• Perform personnel functions (such as signing up for health insurance)

Departments may either provide the equipment at the employee’s work location or provide the employee time to go to another location on campus where such equipment is available for use by the employee or by all University staff.

Staff who require training to use the technological equipment to perform the functions listed above should be allowed time to attend University run computer classes.  Note that hiring supervisors can include ability to use specified technological equipment in their list of required qualifications for a position.  

All departments on campus are encouraged (although not required) to provide access to selected technological equipment at times when it is not being used by department employees to employees of other departments. 

The University will make available to all employees necessary technological equipment to perform the functions listed above at selected locations around campus.
