There may be business-critical exceptions for retaining personal desktop printers. Those exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the individual or department must submit an exception request form.
PLEASE NOTE: If your request is to acquire or to retain a personal desktop printer as a disability-related accommodation, please visit the Human Resource's Employee Accommodation Request page to complete the required accommodation forms. The Office of Compliance will review the accommodation request forms, engage in the interactive process with the employee and the supervisor/department and notify the employee of the employee accommodation decision.
Any questions regarding this process should be directed to the Office of Compliance, Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action at 330.672.2038 or aa_eeo@kent.edu.
Other exceptions may be granted on the basis of documented EIT, OSHA or other related requirements. An exception form must be completed and submitted to the COPI Committee for review.
Regardless of the exception, the funding for an approved local desktop device and its associated parts or supplies will be the financial responsibility of the department making the request.
