[Athen] equipment loan policies?

[Bossley, Pete]

Nothing formal at Ohio State but if a particular student situation called for it we could/would make it happen.
The only things DS regularly lends out are the livescribe pens. I do believe there is an equipment loan agreement but I don't know when or if it is used to recover funds from a lost/damaged device.
Best,

Subject: [Athen] equipment loan policies?

Hello Fellow Athenites!

I'm wondering if any of you/your colleges have an equipment loan program (CCTVs? (portable or ?), laptops with AT installed, ALDs, etc. And, if you do, do you have a written policy/statement of rights and responsibilities for students, and do you have them sign something before they are loaned the equipment? I hope this makes sense. And, would you be willing to share those documents with me so I have some idea of how to craft our documents.

We're finding more and more of our students in disadvantaged situations, and where they do not qualify for state services for a variety of reasons. In the case of low vision who could utilize a portable CCTV such as a Topaz PHD or like, it would seem advantageous to allow them to check out a portable device to carry between campuses, classes and home. Yes, I know... 3,000$ +/- is a lot for replacing a piece of equipment that may or may not come back in a workable state but...

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
NJ
