I am the manager of a stockroom/lab facility which is responsible for
servicing the needs (chemical, reagents, and equipment) of a Biology
department in a small university (14 - 16000 students). The facility I
manage supplies these items for over 80 laboratory class sections per week
with only 3 personnel while at the same time managing a service/checkout
window which is open for 6 hours each day (9:00am 'til 3:00pm). The
department has 20 PHD faculty and several part time MS instructors or TAs.
I seem to have found myself in the middle of a rather large debate with one
faculty member who insists that he/she have unlimited access (a key and
pass code) to the area I manage (which is currently under alarm and houses
well over $1,000,000 worth of inventory) because she/he needs supplies to
do unfunded research at hours other than those when the facility I manage
is open. The other faculty are either supported by grants or are not
actively involved in research.
IN AN EFFORT TO SOLVE THIS DILEMMA I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
I SEEK ONLY DATA.
If you would be so kind.... please answer the following questions and e-
mail them to me directly so I may scientifically support my position.
I WILL USE NO NAMES OR ADDRESS IN MY REPORT, JUST THE DATA I COLLECT FROM
THE QUESTIONS BELOW!!!
