purchasing or repairing the stolen/damaged equipment.

If damaged or stolen equipment is not repaired or replaced, claims or subsequent reimbursement will not be processed.

Reimbursement for property loss or damage will be subject to various departmental deductibles. Generally, the affected department
will be responsible for the first $5,000.00 per occurrence.

The affected department is responsible for mitigating property loss. This includes protecting property from further damage
and seeking repair of property prior to claiming replacement costs.

When a University-owned personal computer or related hardware (e.g., a monitor, printer, external disk drive, etc.)
is stolen, the department will not be entitled to reimbursement unless the equipment was secured with an approved security
lock down device. If the equipment was appropriately secured, the department will be responsible for the first $5,000.00 of loss.
Departments are responsible for obtaining Office of Risk Management approval for alternative security systems for University
owned computers and related hardware.
