The purchasing division purchases all articles and materials for the University except where the Board of Trustees has delegated the authority to someone else. This division advises members of departments on availability and cost of commodities and services. Purchases for the Physical Plant Department are made on recommendation of the Director of the Physical Plant. The Purchasing Division also supervises general storerooms of the University.
The Purchasing Division originated in a 1905 recommendation by the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees that the office of Business Manager be divided into the offices of Chief Clerk, Comptroller and Purchasing Agent.
