May a University staff member or department sell/donate University property or equipment (e.g., computers, cars, file cabinets) directly to the public?
When a department needs to dispose of any surplus equipment, it must go through University Surplus (http://www.uiowa.edu/~fusmm/surplus.html). All computer and other digital storage devices must have all data reliably erased and/or destroyed before the device is transferred out of University control or transferred from one University department or individual to another. The University of Iowa is committed to compliance with federal statutes associated with the protection of confidential information as well as ensuring compliance with software licensing agreements. For University equipment included in a department’s capitalized inventory, the Property Management Surplus form must be submitted to the Property Management Office. The Property Management Office will assist you with the process. If university vehicles are involved, University Surplus may coordinate the disposal through the Fleet Services office. In any event, you must contact University Surplus before you dispose of any Univ
