Faculty Sabbatical-Loan Policy

Faculty Sabbatical-Loan Policy

For their sabbatical activity, Bethel faculty are authorized to take their desktop computers away from their offices to a different location within the continental United States. This policy is authorized to facilitate the accomplishment of sabbatical projects. However, since the movement of desktop computers is somewhat risky to the integrity of the system, the faculty member assumes the following responsibilities:

The faculty member must complete the form below or the Word version and submit it to the director of V.P of ITS. Submission of the form will be by hard copy.

The faculty member will be responsible for any accidental damage, loss, or theft of the system. Information Technology Services will continue to assume responsibility for any component failures caused by normal wear and tear. Any repairs of the system will be done by ITS on campus.

The computer will need to be carried or shipped to the campus for repairs. If shipping is required, please make arrangements with ITS at (651)638-6500 before actually sending the system.

Provision and maintenance/repair of any additional components (such as a modem or software application) that are not part of a normal office configuration will be the responsibility of the faculty member. However, prior to taking the system off campus, approval for any addition must be secured from the V.P of ITS, in order to maintain system compatibility.
