Preamble:
The
2010 Legislature amended
the State Surplus Property Act to exempt state universities from the
Act
(K.S.A. 2010 Supp. 75-6606). State law now
permits state universities to sell, trade-in or dispose of personal
property in
accordance with policies adopted by the Board.
This policy is intended to provide guidance regarding the
disposition of
University property in compliance with Board policy and state law. This policy does not apply to books or art
objects covered by K.S.A. 76-116e.
Policy Statement:
1. The University is authorized
to sell, trade-in or dispose
of surplus property in accordance with the Kansas Board of Regents
Disposition of Surplus Property Policy.
2. Departments are encouraged to promote the reuse of surplus property within the University and/or with other state universities system-wide before requesting disposal.
3. University property, regardless of cost, can be disposed of only after approval is obtained from the Office of Financial Operations and Business Technology, Property Control. Property Control will provide guidance regarding how to notify the general public of the planned disposal of surplus property. Disposal of surplus property will operate in a fair, equitable and transparent manner, and no giving or sale of property to an individual can occur without first complying with all aspects of this policy.
4. All
disposals of property must be documented on a Transfer
of
Property Form and proceeds from disposal (if any) must be deposited
in
a
University departmental account. Any
proceeds from disposal are to be used at
the discretion of the department head to advance and support the
mission of the
University.
5. Disposal methods shall be in full compliance with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations. Sustainability practices will be considered as surplus property is disposed.
Implementation:
This policy shall be included in the WSU Policies and Procedures
Manual and shared with appropriate constituencies of the
University.
The Director of Financial Operations and Business Technology shall have primary responsibility for publication, dissemination and distribution of this University policy.
Effective Date:
