PCS 1103: Lost or Stolen Personally Owned Equipment

Purpose

To clarify the university’s position on personally owned equipment that is lost or stolen on campus

Source

Property Control

Policy

ASU does not accept responsibility for personally owned equipment that is lost or stolen. However, if personally owned property is being used for university business, generally the property will be covered by Insurance Services. Exceptions include stereo equipment, radios, pictures, paintings, fans, and general property not to be used for university purposes.

Property Control suggests that individuals who have personally owned equipment on campus take the following precautions to avoid the possibility of its being mistaken for ASU equipment:

1. Mark the equipment for identification of ownership.
2. Provide the department head with a list of personally owned equipment being used for university purposes.

Should confusion arise, proof of ownership will lie with the individual, not with ASU.

Note:

The ASU Police Department marks personally owned equipment if requested.
