Do non-financial staff and faculty have to take training to order from U-Stores?
An online tutorial called Purchasing from U-Stores is available for nonfinancial staff and faculty meeting certain criteria. The University is taking a long-term, strategic view of purchasing, with a goal of someday being able to maximize our purchasing power by reducing the number of vendors and negotiating reduced prices. With the current 120,000 vendors, the University’s purchasing power is severely diluted.
