The Dean or Director should determine the appropriateness of the purchase. There should be a legitimate business need for the furniture that benefits the University. If there is no business need, the IRS could interpret it as taxable income to the faculty/staff member. Also, if the equipment is capitalizable (over $5,000) it would need to be recorded and tagged as University equipment.
