New Cell Phone Policy

Posted by on Friday, May 1, 2015 in archives.

The Office of the Dean of Students has adopted a new cell phone policy.

BACKGROUND: Many University divisions have recently implemented new cell phone policies including VUMC which stopped all provision of cell phones, and VUIT which adopted a stipend based model. Plant Operations and Business Services are also in the process of defining new policies in their areas. The new DOS policy improves consistency and produces cost savings for our division, reduces workload for staff involved with management and support of University issued cell phones, and recognizes changes in technology which have resulted in most individuals having cell phones for personal use.

To review the new policy, see below, or go to http://www.vanderbilt.edu/deanofstudents/4staff/ and click “Dean of Students for Staff.” The policy and updates to it will remain on the SharePoint for staff site.

Questions about the new policy and implementation plan should be directed to your supervisor.
