In July 2005, departments were allowed to process these transactions unencumbered but many chose to continue the use of POs. This results in unnecessary cost and overhead for the University.
During 2008, campus-wide work groups were formed to […]

And while the increase in the UF auxiliary overhead tax more than offsets these combined savings, current rates remain the same next year.
Telecom […]
