XX.F   University Equipment

Equipment purchased with internal Yale funds or Yale-administered outside grant funds is owned by Yale, except when a sponsor has expressly retained title.

1. Off-campus Use. Faculty members planning to use University-owned equipment off campus or to take equipment with them on leaves of absence should complete a request for off-campus use of Yale University equipment. Consult the Yale University Policy 1110, Personal and Off-Campus Use of University Property, for more detailed information. This policy applies to all types of equipment, including laboratory equipment, office equipment, and computing equipment. Note also that the faculty member is responsible for compliance with all regulations of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) governing hazardous materials, insofar as they affect University equipment.

2. When Departing from Yale. When a faculty member moves to another academic or non-profit institution, transfer of equipment is treated as follows:

a. Equipment purchased with University funds (provostial, school, or department) or purchased with outside grant funds may only be transferred in accordance with Yale University Policy 4209, Equipment, and if the sponsor's policy permits the transfer.

b. The University is prohibited from transferring equipment purchased with federal funds to for-profit institutions. Any transfer of equipment purchased with internal Yale funds to a for-profit institution would require special permission from the Provost.

3. Decommissioning Equipment. EHS maintains policies and procedures for decommissioning equipment, and should be consulted when equipment is no longer needed.
