In 2005-06, the IRS began to strictly enforce policies relating to personal use of university-owned mobile communication devices. As a result, colleges and universities across the nation were forced to adopt new policies relating to cell phones, Blackberry, PDA and other "smartphone" devices.
In response to these pressures, Weber State University created a new policy, PPM 3-65 - Mobile Communication Agreement & Procedures. The policy was approved by the Board of Trustees on March 14, 2006. The links in this section include resources and materials to help university faculty, staff and administrators implement the new procedures.
