ACUP 2014 An Oasis of Knowledge
Amitrano, of Burlington County College, noted that in-plants should be prepared to be asked about supplying this service and put some thought into how to get it done, possibly through a partnership with IT.
At a roundtable discussion on the right of first refusal, participants agreed that "centralized print management" was a more appropriate (and less controversial) description of this approach to requiring all school printing to be routed to the in-plant. Participants shared their experiences with it. Some who have it said it was not enforced or that departments get around it by waiting until the last minute and then claiming the in-plant is unable to meet their quick turnaround needs. Others lamented that university purchasing cards let departments buy smaller print jobs outside without getting bids.
