Process for Assessment, Strategic Planning, and Resource Allocation
During the 1999-2000 academic year, Task Forces created as recommended by the Mission, Goals, and Directions Committee developed a systematic process linking the assessment of all university programs and activities to strategic planning and resource allocation. Upon its completion by the joint task forces, the draft process was widely disseminated for review and comment. The result was general campus concurrence and the recommendation of the Academic Senate to implement the process. This PM articulates the new process and supersedes all previous PMs on planning and budgeting.
Principles and Assumptions
· Review and assessment of programs and determination of program priorities must guide resource allocation.
· The process must be open, including widespread consultation.
· The process must integrate program review and assessment with planning, budget development, and resource allocation.
· Decision-makers must adhere to a University rather than a divisional perspective in determining recommendations to the President.
Key Bodies in the Process
· The University Planning Council (UPC), established upon the recommendation of the Mission, Goals, and Directions Committee in 1999, includes representatives from all campus segments. Its purpose is to advise the President concerning the University’s progress in fulfilling its mission and achieving its goals. The UPC leads the campus in focusing on short- and long-term goals based on needs assessment, and assures that the process of strategic planning operates consistently and continuously throughout the campus.
· The (new) University Budget Committee (UBC), created by this PM, includes representation from each division of the University. The President will appoint members of the UBC in its initial year of operation after appropriate consultation. In subsequent years, members will be identified through divisional processes. Members will be chosen, in part, on their ability to apply a University rather than a divisional perspective to their budget recommendations.
The UBC will hear presentations from all divisions of the University
including summary review of programs in the division, assessment data,
plans for the division, recommended priorities, and projected resource
needs. The UBC will come to a tentative agreement on recommendations
for programs and refer these recommendations to a subcommittee, the Resource Deployment Committee (RDC), for recommendations of specific resource allocations.
Upon receipt of the specific recommendations of the Resource
Deployment Committee, the University Budget Committee will
review to insure alignment with its program recommendations and send to
the President its recommendations for existing programs that should be
supported, existing programs that should be discontinued, new programs
that should be supported, and priorities for programs and for resource
allocation.
· The Resource Deployment Committee is comprised of three to five members of the UBC who are familiar with the resources available to the university and able to understand how resources should be deployed to accomplish University programmatic goals and priorities.
· Program Effectiveness Councils: Each division of the University will form a council or committee charged with the responsibility of reviewing all divisional programs. On-going assessment is an integral part of program review, which will incorporate assessment data in the modification of plans, goals, and strategies at each level. The reviews also lead to recommendations as to programs to be supported or to be reduced or discontinued, new programs to be initiated, priorities in program planning, and resource needs of the division and its programs.
During the first year of implementation of this process, the University Planning Council will engage in continuous evaluation and will make recommendations for modification of the process as appropriate. These recommendations will be submitted to the President for his consideration and for widespread campus consultation. Approved modifications will be implemented as feasible. Implementation calendars will be issued as appropriate.

The following policy has been adopted by the University in order to ensure compliance with health regulations related to preparation, storage and serving of food items, to minimize potential liability and to ensure compliance with the food service contract which grants exclusivity to the food services contractor. This policy is subject to review and modifications as necessary to ensure compliance with the food services contractor and health regulations.
This policy applies to all recognized campus organizations interested in the sale of certain foods for the purpose of raising money.
The food protection measures, as outlined in the RULES GOVERNING FOOD SALES OR SERVICE, are intended to accomplish the following objectives:
Organizations which are interested in having a bake/food sale for the purpose of raising money may be allowed to sell food pending completion and approval of the Request for Bake/Food Sales On Campus form. Such activity may not take place without the approval of the Office of the Director of the Loker University Student Union and the Office of the Executive Director of the Foundation.
In order to ensure the same opportunity be given to all interested groups, organizations wishing to have regularly scheduled bake/food sales may do so no more than two (2) times per month. Depending upon the number of organizations, the Director of the University Student Union has the authority to further limit the number of or allow additional bake/food sales by an individual student group.
No more than two (2) bake/food sales will be permitted per day.

The University’s food service contractor operates under a contract with the Foundation. As is common in most campus food service agreements, the food service contractor is granted exclusive rights to provide food services on our campus. It is imperative that the Foundation and the campus honor the commitment in the contract.
It is University policy that any catering activities held on campus must be provided by the Foundation’s food service contractor (currently Service America, Inc.). It is the responsibility of the Foundation to ensure that quality food and service are provided at fair prices by this contractor. Questions regarding this policy or requests for exemptions due to special circumstances, as well as suggestions for improved service, should be addressed to the Director of the foundation, Jacqueline Sells* (extension 3306).
Thank you for your cooperation.

[Some time ago the Resource Administration Group drafted a proposal concerning the policies and procedures that are to be followed for the initiation and operation of chargebacks. This proposal has been reviewed and is hereby approved. It is effective immediately. The following chargebacks have been in effect and may remain in effect but will be subject to review during the current year as provided in the policy:
1. Materials costs in the Reproduction Center.
2. Per impression charge for all Xerox copies.
3. Servicing of office equipment by GSA.
4. Supplies and forms from campus stores.
5. Repair parts for departmental-owned vehicles.
6. Construction/remodeling costs (initiated by unit).
7. Telephone and postage for projects funded in independent operations.
8. Overtime for off-campus groups.
Please inform the appropriate people in your unit of this newly-established policy.]
Units on campus receive resources to operate programs and provide services which are a part of their responsibility. In some instances, resources are provided to units in order that they can provide materials and/or services to other units. In addition, some units have been a “clearinghouse” for the centralized purchase of goods and services. In some cases, the cost of these items has been billed to the units using them. In other instances, they have simply been provided by the unit responsible for the centralized acquisition.
The policies and procedures which follow are to inform the method by which decisions are made concerning the providing of services or the purchase of materials centrally and whether or not the costs should be billed to the various units.
A chargeback is defined as the billing to individual units within the University for the materials and/or services which they use which have been provided by another unit.
1. As a basic principle, chargebacks should be viewed as a cost control
mechanism, not as a means for increasing the operating expense budgets
of units that provide a service (service provider).
2. A chargeback may be instituted only when the costs are incurred at the
discretion of the receiving unit.
3. A chargeback should be considered where it is important to have the locus of
budget responsibility with the unit administrator. In these cases, expenditures are
at the discretion of the unit administrator and the “point of control” of costs
should reside with that administrator.
4. The chargeback should represent the direct cost of the materials and/or labor
provided.
5. A chargeback may be instituted when it is cost-effective; i.e., the benefits
outweigh the costs.
6. A chargeback may be instituted only for non-routine services not provided for in
the budgets of service providers.
7. An established chargeback may be waived for services that are of primary value to
the University as a whole.
8. When chargebacks are instituted, recognition of these costs should be provided in
the budgets of the units to be charged. The costs to be included and excluded in
the chargeback should be clearly identified.
9. Service-providers will report chargebacks to cost centers on a timely basis.
1. Chargebacks must be approved in advance of their implementation. In order to
make appropriate adjustments within budgets, new chargebacks will only become
effective at the beginning of a fiscal year.
2. If a unit providing materials or services proposes a chargeback the following
procedure must be followed:
a. A preliminary assessment must be made by the proposing unit to determine whether or not the chargeback merits consideration under the policies outlined above.
b. A proposal must be submitted to the Resources Administration Group (RAG)* and must set out the rationale which justifies the request and must include information concerning costs which justify the charges proposed. A listing of the various charges for materials and/or labor to be provided must be included in the proposal.
c. RAG* will review the proposal and will make a recommendation concerning it to the Vice President, Operations.
d. The Vice President, Operations, will consult with other appropriate bodies and the final decision will be made by the President.
3. Proposed changes in approved chargeback fees, except for minor adjustments to
reflect fluctuations in material and labor costs, must be submitted through the
approval process outlined above.
4. RAG* will annually review campus chargebacks and may, after consultation with
the appropriate units, recommend that changes be made in chargebacks or that
individual chargebacks be eliminated. This review will occur prior to the time
that budget allocations are made so that any changes in chargebacks can be
considered in the normal process of developing allocations.

Energy Conservation and Building Temperature Control Policy
The Federal Emergency Building temperature restrictions regulations, effective as of July 16, 1979, place restrictions on temperatures for heating, cooling and domestic hot water in commercial, industrial, government and other nonresidential buildings. The regulations generally require the thermostat be set no lower than 78 degrees Fahrenheit for cooling, no higher than 68 degrees Fahrenheit for heating and no higher than 115 degrees Fahrenheit for domestic hot water. The regulations also require room temperature set backs during periods when buildings are unoccupied. In response to these regulations and other continuing State and CSU mandates to conserve energy the following guidelines for building temperature control will be followed in all CSUDH buildings:
We realize that implementation of the attached building temperature control policy will change environmental and physical comfort conditions in many, if not all, of the buildings on campus. Physical Plant will respond as quickly as possible to adjust air conditioning and heating systems which are not providing temperatures within the 68 degree Fahrenheit to 78 degrees Fahrenheit restrictions mandated by the Federal Department of Energy Regulations. In most buildings heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems were not designed to accommodate these temperature restrictions. This is further complicated by numerous changes in building space and room usage over the years, making it almost impossible to maintain original design conditions. We hope all members of the campus community will cooperate as together we endeavor to achieve and maintain the goals of the Federal Building Temperatures Regulations.

It should be noted that energy efficient lighting should not detract from the
esthetic value currently provided by lighting throughout the University. In most
instances, it will be possible to provide more energy efficient lighting that also
provides better quality illumination.

Key Control Policy
and Procedures (Revised)
Access to facilities is obviously essential to the smooth operation of this university, but this access also implies an equally critical concern for the security and integrity of those facilities and their contents. Integral to both concerns are a well-defined and workable key issuance and control policy and the necessary procedures to implement and enforce it.
The need for such a formal, codified key control policy for CSUDH, which encompasses both but compromises neither the access nor security requirements of the campus community, has long been recognized. This need is now critical due to the growth in terms of size and complexity of our operations and to the economic reality of increasing fiscal constraints which may impair our ability to replace or repair assets on a timely basis. Moreover, as a state-supported institution, CSUDH recognizes its commitment to the preservation and protection of its assets and to the maintenance of confidentiality of certain records and documents held in public trust.
The foregoing needs, concerns, and impacts have provided the framework and rationale for the key control policy and procedures which follow.
1. General
It shall be the policy of this university to permit access to its facilities only to eligible employees based on a rationale of need and justification in order to preserve and secure its assets and confidential records. The issuance of keys and their control are thus central to the attainment of these objectives.
2. Types of Keys Issued
a. Great Grand Master: The issuance of Great Grand Masters (GGM) shall
be tightly controlled to improve and maintain campus-wide security. The
loss or theft of this key, which permits access to the total complex (with
some exceptions), would seriously undermine the security and safety of
this institution. Therefore, any request for a GGM key must contain a
statement of justification signed by the appropriate Dean or Administrator.
The request shall then be reviewed and approved by the Vice President for
Operations*.
*Current title is Vice President for Administration and
Finance
b. Grand Building and Sub-Building Masters: The issuance of these keys shall be based upon demonstrable need and justification due to the wide access provided by them. The loss or theft of these keys, although not as serious as that of the GGM, nevertheless carries great security implications. Thus, requests for these keys must also be accompanied by a statement of justification signed by the appropriate Dean or Administrative Officer and shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Plant Operations. In general, distribution of these keys shall be limited to appropriate administrative personnel.
c. Building Entrances: Keys to building entrances may be issued to full and part-time faculty and staff at the request and approval of appropriate Deans and Directors.
d. Offices/Classrooms/Furniture: Same as “building entrances.” (The “furniture” category includes keys to such items as desks, file cabinets, storage equipment, and other miscellaneous items. This type of key must also be requested on the standard key request form.)
3. Issuance of Keys
a. Deans and Administrative Officers shall systematically review and approve (sign) all requests for keys to areas under their purview prior to submission to Plant Operations. All requests for keys shall be made via “Key Request Form BA 0024 (rev. 7/82)” available through the university warehouse.
b. Requests for Great Grand Master Keys: Requests for GGM keys shall be reviewed and approved by the Vice President for Operations*. Each request must be made on the standard “Key Request Form BA 0024 (rev. 7/82)” and must also contain a statement of justification signed by the appropriate Dean or Administrator. This authority is not to be delegated. The request and justification are to be forwarded directly to the Vice President for Operations* for review and approval.
c. In order to provide continuity and systematic control, requests for all keys other than the GGM shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Plant Operations whose decision shall be based on need and security considerations. In the event of a disagreement, an appeal may be made to the Director of Business Affairs.**
d. Students, including student assistants, shall not be issued keys. Exceptions shall be made, however, in those instances of demonstrable

Administration and Finance
need when approved by the appropriate Dean. The standard “Key Request
Form BA 0024 (rev. 7/82)” must contain a statement of justification and
must be approved (signed) by the Dean of the School. The request is to be
forwarded to the Director of Plant Operations. Upon approval, the student
will be issued a key provided that he/she posts a $10.00 refundable deposit
for each key requested at the Cashier’s Office (Small College B135). The
student must then take the cashier’s receipt to Public Safety (Small
College A122) for key issuance. Keys will be issued for the current
academic year and students must return them to Plant Operations within
ten days after the last day of final examinations for the spring quarter*.
Keys returned after this deadline will be subject to a $3.00 late fine.
e. Keys may also be issued to contractors working on special university projects at the discretion of the Director of Plant Operations. In such instances, a contractor shall post a $50.00 refundable deposit at the Cashier’s Office for each key issued.
f. The individual to whom keys are issued by Plant Operations shall be responsible for any fines or fees imposed for failure to return keys or for the costs incurred to replace or duplicate lost or stolen keys.
4. Lost/Stolen Keys
Lost or stolen keys must be reported immediately to Public Safety which will require a signed statement from the responsible party. A replacement fee of $10.00 for each key lost or stolen must be paid by the responsible party at the Cashier’s Office prior to issuance of a replacement(s). Requests for replacements must be made on a Key Request Form to Plant Operations. No charge shall be levied for replacing broken keys when all parts are returned to Plant Operations.
5. Key Distribution
After approval of a key request, the individual to whom the key is to be issued will be notified by Plant Operations and instructed to pick up keys at the Public Safety Office (Small College A122). The individual must sign for receipt of each key issued. (See Section 3d for Student Assistant procedures.) In addition, the exchanging or loaning of keys between employees is prohibited. An individual shall be issued only one key per lock at any given time.
6.
Key Return
a. All keys must be returned to the Plant Operations Department or to the Public Safety Department when no longer needed by the individual or as determined by the appropriate Administrative Officer.
b. Termination or Transfer of Employment: In the event of separation of employment from CSUDH, employees are required to return all keys issued to them to Plant Operations or to Public Safety. Terminal paychecks will be withheld until keys have been returned or appropriate fines have been paid at the Cashier’s Office. Compliance shall be monitored through the Personnel/Payroll Offices.
c.
Keys Returned through Public Safety: Employees who choose to return keys through
Public Safety will not be able to have their key records cleared immediately
because all records are maintained at Plant Operations. Public Safety will, however, forward
returned keys on a daily basis, along with the following information:
1. Employee name and Social Security Number.
2.
Date of key return.
3.
Number of keys returned by hook number.
4.
Checkout sheet for clearance by Plant Operations (if
applicable).
Employees will be given a signed receipt by Public Safety which will include his/her name, date, and keys returned.
N.B. If employees elect to return keys through Public Safety, key return should be the only remaining item on the termination checkout sheet because it will need to be forwarded first to Plant Operations for clearance and then routed directly to the Personnel/Payroll Offices. For immediate clearance of key records, employees will need to return keys directly to Plant Operations.
7. Requests for Re-keying
Requests for re-keying locks shall be approved only in situations of extreme security risk. Requests for re-keying of locks should be submitted for approval to the Director of Plant Operations on the standard “Work Order Request Form BA 0026 rev.7/82”. In cases where re-keying is requested for departmental convenience or as a result of improper key security or negligence, the requesting department will be required to pay for the re-keying costs. Plant Operations will work with the Public Safety Department in defining cases involving improper key security or negligence and in providing assistance to departments in establishing proper key security procedures.
8.
Fee/Deposit Schedule
a. Lost or Stolen Keys: $10.00 for each key, to a maximum of $50.00 per occurrence.
b.
Re-keying Costs:
$15.00 for each lock re-keyed.
c. Deposits:
1. Student Assistants: $10.00 for each key issued.
2.
Off-campus Contractors:
$50.00 for each key issued.
9. Key Duplication
Duplication of university keys by individuals other than university locksmiths is prohibited by law.
PM 79-05, with supplement, is not consistent with the several existing collective bargaining agreements and, therefore, is rescinded effective this date.

The following policy has been adopted by the University in order to ensure compliance with health regulations related to preparation, storage and serving of food items, to minimize potential liability and to ensure compliance with the food service contract which grants exclusivity to the food services contractor.
This policy applies to all faculty, students, staff and administrators interested in hosting a potluck in campus facilities, including but not limited to the Donald P. and Katherine B. Loker University Student Union.
On-campus organizations planning closed social functions to which only on-campus individuals are invited (e.g. departmental and student clubs functions) in any campus facility, may be allowed to supply their own home-prepared food and drinks pending completion and approval of the Request for On-Campus Group Potluck Form. All approvals must be obtained a minimum of two weeks prior to the proposed event. Such events may not generate revenues of any kind and approval must be secured through the Office of the Director of the University Student Union and the Office of the Executive Director of the University Foundation.
Any open function (open to the general campus or public) and any on-campus business function must have all food and beverages catered through the Campus Dining Service. Off-campus organizations are required to have all food and beverages catered by the Campus Dining Food Services.
This Policy Statement is not intended to apply to those campus group gatherings where each individual brings his/her own lunch, commonly referred to as “brown bag.”
** Food prepared and served by the Campus Dining Services is exempt from the approval process outlined in this policy.

President Robert C. Detweiler
The university provides computer labs for its students as a resource to support the instructional program. The university is committed to providing students with opportunities to develop computer-based skills necessary for their educational, professional and personal development. The instructional program includes courses that teach computer skills directly as well as those that use computer-based instruction and activities to achieve understanding of the diverse subject matter in the curriculum. The primary goal of the policy on computer lab scheduling is to maximize the availability of the resources of the labs for student use throughout the day, afternoon, evening, and weekend hours. The policy outlined here is designed to maximize lab availability for drop-in use, as well as provide adequate opportunities for the instructional program to teach computer-based skills.
Among the various constituencies who have made claims or requests for use of the computer labs over time, the following priorities shall be recognized.
A. Courses required for degree programs and other regular university courses
(students/faculty)
B. Instructional Computing Workshops
C. Other “Special Sessions” courses (students/faculty)
D. CAMS classes (students/faculty)
E. Other Extension courses (students/faculty)
F. Off-campus groups, even if the group is co-sponsored by a university unit.
A. “Term-long” use of a computer lab is assigned use for a scheduled class section
throughout an academic term.
B. “Ad hoc” use of a computer lab is assigned occasional use of a computer lab for a
scheduled class section. Requests for use of a computer lab exceeding the equivalent of
six class sessions (1¼ hour modules) per term shall be considered “term-long” use.
C. “Open hours” refers to assigned time blocks in which a computer lab is available to any
student on a “drop-in” basis.
D. The Academic Computer Lab Access Committee (or ACLAC) shall be the
responsible body for implementing the lab scheduling policy and for resolving conflicts
over requests for use of the computer labs. ACLAC will receive all requests for “term-
long” use and will review requests for formal exception to this policy. ACLAC is
chaired by the Associate Vice President for Academic Planning who serves in an “ex-
officio” non-voting capacity. Membership of ACLAC shall include two faculty
appointed by the Academic Senate, the campus Instructional Computing Coordinator, a
school/college Dean or Associate Dean and one student appointed in consultation with
ASI. ACLAC makes recommendations to the Associate Vice President for Academic
Planning who shall make the final decisions on computer lab scheduling.
Procedures for requesting “term-long,” “ad hoc,” and “open hours” use are outlined below.
A. Provisions for “term-long” use:
1. “Term-long” use shall be limited to those course sections that have
specific laboratory (L) or activity (A) components which have been approved
through the university curriculum process and which require in-class
computing experiences for achievement of student instructional goals.
Provisions for a formal exception to this guideline are described in section
III.A.4.
2. Only the laboratory or activity components of the course shall be
scheduled into the computer lab for the term.
3. Formal requests for “term-long” lab scheduling shall be made each term at
least two months prior to the deadline for submission of the class schedule for
that term to Academic Affairs. The formal request shall describe the need for
lab access and document, through submission of the course syllabus or
assignment list, the ways in which the lab resources would be used. These
requests shall be reviewed by the Academic Computer Lab Access
Committee (ACLAC). ACLAC shall forward its recommendations to the
Associate Vice President for final decision. Once a class has been approved
for “term-long” use, it shall not need to be re-approved each term. An
approved course shall undergo periodic review by ACLAC every two years
to insure that lab access is still essential to the instructional goals of the
course. Courses needing more frequent lab access than the parameters for
“ad hoc” but less than every class period fall into the category for “term-
long” use.
4. The instructor of a class or the chairperson on behalf of all sections of a class
may request a formal exception to the instructional mode (lab or activity
sections only) restrictions in III.A.1. The request must be submitted at least
two months before the class schedule for that term is due to be submitted to
Academic Affairs. The written request for “exception” shall include a
rationale with supporting documentation in the form of the proposed class
syllabus, the explicit goals for the computer-learning experiences, and
justification as to why the available alternative instructional modes are not
appropriate. The request must be reviewed and approved by the department
chair or program coordinator and the dean of the school/college prior to
submission to ACLAC. ACLAC shall make its recommendation to the AVP
Academic Planning who shall make the final decision. Once approved,
course “exceptions” shall not be required to undergo approval each term, but
shall be subject to “periodic” review as mentioned in section III.A.3. This
provision for exception provides recognition of the varied instructional styles
that faculty utilize and the need to encourage instructional innovation and
experimentation unconstrained by the course classification system.
B. Provisions for “ad
hoc use:”
1. Requests for the use of a specific computer lab for a specific class session shall
be made in writing. These requests shall be received by the Instructional
Computing Supervisor by noon on Friday of the week preceding the requested
use. The request should include a brief description of the intended instructional
outcomes. This requirement allows lab staff to ensure that the appropriate
software or network access will be available in the requested lab before a
scheduling commitment is made. Requests to use software not installed on the
server in the lab must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of the
requested use in order to assure that software needs may be met.
2. Should the lab be fully scheduled and not able to accommodate the requested ad
hoc use, the instructor may contact the instructor of a “term-long” class
scheduled in the lab to see if an informal accommodation can be made.
3. Requests for “ad hoc” use are not limited in any way by the course classification
designation, instructional mode, or topic of the class. Instructional and non-
instructional computing workshops are considered “ad hoc” use.
4. Off-campus groups may not schedule computer labs in the evening. Weekend
use may not exceed four days per term, and may not be scheduled during the last
four weeks of any academic term. This restriction is necessary to assure that
adequate lab use opportunities will be reserved for students during the hectic
“wind-up” to a term.
C. Provisions for Computer Lab “open
hours:”
1. “Open hours” are periods of time spread throughout the different morning,
afternoon, evening and weekend modules during which a specific computer lab is
available only to individual students, faculty and staff for “drop-in” use. No “ad
hoc” or “term-long” use shall be allowed during “open hours” for a specific lab.
Access to stations is on a first-come, first-served basis. Provisions for time
limitations on use by any individual during any one period may be implemented
should demand for the lab resource require rationing. “Open hours” are
restricted to CSUDH students, faculty and staff.
2. The minimum number of weekly “open hours” for each lab shall be defined each
term before any reservations are made for “term-long” or “ad hoc” use. The
amount of time reserved for open hours for each lab shall be determined by
ACLAC based on recommendations from instructional computing services. The
time allotted for “open hours” shall reflect usage statistics from prior terms and
shall be adjusted during any term when demand requires it. “Open hours” shall
be defined and posted for each specific lab. Academic Affairs shall monitor
“open hours” use and may recommend adjustments where usage problems are
identified.
3. “Open hours” shall be maximized during the last four weeks of each term to allow
students increased opportunity to complete term assignments. “Ad hoc” use for
demonstrations, workshops, etc., shall be restricted to the first eleven weeks of
each semester.
IV Conflict Resolution and Designation of Final Authority over Computer Labs.
The scheduling of the computer labs is the responsibility of the division of Academic Affairs. The Academic Computer Lab Access Committee (ACLAC) shall serve as the body to recommend solutions to conflicts over computer lab use. The committee shall make recommendations to the Associate Vice President for Academic Planning who shall make the final decision in any dispute. The existence of this committee shall not, however, absolve faculty from first making an honest effort to resolve conflicting requests or needs in an informal fashion. ACLAC shall be responsible for receiving input from the Academic Senate, ACAC, deans or other sources in regard to the operation of the computer lab policy. ACLAC shall be responsible for recommending any changes in the policy that require consultation through the normal policy-making processes of the university.
V. Identification of Other Approaches or Developments
that May Enhance the Goals of the Computer Lab Access Policy
The eventual full implementation of the campus plan for LAN’s and network
access, especially the cabling of each classroom and lab, and improved access
to campus computer resources from off-campus, can be expected to take some
pressure off of the scheduling of computer labs. These developments may
empower faculty to integrate computing topics into their classes and reduce
the demand for scheduled class access to the labs. Combined with increased
Internet access through the campus LAN’s and communications servers for
off-campus users this development may reduce the burden on the labs. It is
assumed that as faculty and students achieve more convenient campus
computer or Internet access from their homes that more of their computing
needs will be met without increasing demand on the labs.
VI. Data Needs to Support a Computer Lab Access Policy.
In order for the computer lab policy to develop its own legitimacy and to
maintain its credibility over time, it is essential that accurate data be gathered.
ACLAC will work with instructional computing services to develop the range
of needed data and review it once collected. Data on “term-long” use, “ad
hoc” use, and “drop-in” use is needed to fine-tune allocation strategies,
equipment and software replacement plans for the labs, staffing requirements,
and allocation of related institutional resources. Additionally, the gathering of
survey information assessing computer lab services from both student and
President James E. Lyons, Sr.

University Telephone Policy and Guidelines
as of August 1998
[Supersedes
PM 94-04]
The mission of Telephone Services is to provide operation and maintenance of University voice communications in support of faculty, staff and students. The scope of the responsibility includes provision and maintenance of campus office telephones, courtesy telephones and directories, public telephones, emergency telephone call boxes and revision and publication of an annual campus telephone directory. The unit also prints and disseminates information on communications policies and procedures, equipment and usage.
The following is University policy regarding telephone services and the use of telephones. The objective of these policies is to provide satisfactory customer service in a cost effective manner.
Personal Telephone Calls
The policy regarding personal calls placed over State telephones is consistent with the guidance and prohibitions set forth in State Administrative Manual 4525.8. The policy provides that personal telephone calls must be billed to the caller’s home telephone or placed “collect;” personal telephone calls may not be placed over the State lines; and incoming and outgoing personal calls (even when billed to home telephones) must not interfere with the conduct of State business, or cause loss of personnel time. Unit telephone bills will be provided by Telephone Services to unit supervisors for their review, comments, and appropriate action in the case of unauthorized uses of State telephones.
Collect Calls and Third Party Billed Calls
The acceptance of incoming collect calls is not authorized. Any exceptions must be approved by unit supervisors, based on emergency requirements. Third party charged calls (calls placed from an off-campus number to another off-campus number and billed to an existing University number) are not authorized.
Telephone Credit Card Guidelines
Telephone credit cards are to be used by employees on travel status or employees who frequently travel to work locations away from their home office. Employees working from home should not normally charge business related calls to telephone credit cards, since this is not considered travel status. Reimbursement will be handled via a personal voucher. Every credit card call carries a 40 cent surcharge; therefore local calls (calls not further than 40 miles) should be placed via coin phones, to avoid excessive billing for local calls.
If your credit card is lost or stolen, report the loss or theft to Telephone Services at extension 3800 as soon as possible. The card will be immediately canceled, and a new one reissued. If you leave the University’s employment you must return the credit card and it will be immediately canceled.
International Telephone Calls and Facsimiles
All requests for approval of telephone calls, facsimiles or other communications outside the continental U.S. must be coordinated with Telephone Services. Telephone Services will provide assistance in routing communications through the use of the most efficient and cost-effective means.
The usage cost for fax
services is the responsibility of each department. Departments have sole responsibility for purchasing and
maintaining departmental fax machines.
Telephone Services is responsible for coordinating the installation of
telephone lines for fax service. Request
for new telephone lines should be sent to Telephone Services and include an
account number with an authorized signature to pay for usage.
Telephone Service Requests
Telephone Services has sole authorization to place orders for repairs, installations and changes to telephone service. All requests must be forwarded to Telephone Services. A letter of justification must accompany requests for new service.
Telephone Relocations
Convenience relocations necessitated by furniture rearrangement, etc., and additional features of a non-essential nature, i.e. longer phone cords, will be charged to the requesting department’s budget. Adds, moves and changes associated with a remodeling project will also be charged to the requesting department’s budget. A budget line item to cover telephone related charges must be included in the total cost of the project. This can be accomplished by coordinating project with Telephone Services. Grants, when appropriate, should also include a line item for Telephone Services (see Telephone Services, http://research.csudh.edu/telecomm/phone.htm, for Telecommunications Services Charges). Relocation of telephones because of new building or University organizational changes will be made at University expense.
Whenever possible, department telephone numbers will be moved with the department upon relocation; however, relocation of faculty telephone numbers is not authorized. Faculty will be provided a new telephone number at the new location.
Telephone Installations
Telephones will be installed and maintained at University expense in academic and administrative departments. Telephones are provided and should be assigned only to regular employees of the unit. The University will not normally provide telephones solely for the use of student assistants unless the student assistant’s primary function is operator or receptionist. A maximum of one single line telephone will be installed in faculty offices and in most laboratories for emergency use only. Additional telephone requests will be subject to a charge.
Telephones operating from the University system will be installed in various auxiliary units on campus but will be billed to those units. This include operations under the jurisdiction of the Foundation, the Student Association or other organizations which are not fully state-supported. Other University activities may also be billed, depending upon the source of funding. For example, University projects funded for research, by grants or state lottery funds may be required to support their own telephone service charges. The department responsible for charge back of such services must submit in writing authorization for charge back and provide an account number to be used for charge back of services. Such departments must coordinate their telephone service requirements with Telephone Services.
Private Telephone and Communications Devices Purchase/Use
Employees may purchase and use a telephone of their choice if the set meets FCC and other regulations. Most University lines are digital and only work with Intercom telephone sets. Consequently, an analog line must be available to support the analog telephone. Prior to purchase, the individual should consult with Telephone Services to insure compliance with regulations. This applies to answering machines, fax devices and fax machines. Equipment purchased by individuals with private funds for use with their University telephone service becomes the responsibility of the purchaser, including repair and maintenance of such equipment.
Telecommunications
Device for the Deaf
The Office of Disabled Student Services is equipped with a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD). All campus lines are TDD compatible but do not have the device required to handle such calls. Contact Telephone Services if a TDD is necessary.
Threatening, Obscene or Harassing Telephone Calls
Threatening phone calls must be reported to Public Safety immediately. Obscene or harassing phone calls should be reported to Telephone Services when received. Threatening, obscene and harassing calls are prohibited by Federal and State laws. Making or permitting such calls may result in a fine or imprisonment or both per Federal Communications Act, Section 223; California Penal Code, Section 653m.
