President Michael Ortiz has issued a Presidential Order to ensure that the university uses its limited resources in the most effective and efficient ways possible during these serious economic times.

The order requires faculty and staff to use Cal Poly Pomona Foundation services (including the bookstore, food service, catering or campus lodging) for all state or foundation business, effective immediately. In addition, faculty and staff will be required to use Graphic Communication Services (GCS) as an agent for all printing services and publications.

“The Foundation perpetually invests in the areas that advance Cal Poly Pomona, including faculty housing, development, communications and infrastructure. We must ensure that these resources continue to be made available,” Ortiz said. “By investing in ourselves, we can continue to support any number of campus operations and programs.”

PRESIDENTIAL ORDER: Cal Poly Pomona faculty and staff will be required to use Foundation services (including the bookstore, food service, catering or campus lodging) for all state or foundation business. The Cal Poly Pomona Foundation will have the sole right to waive this agreement on a case-by-case basis, depending on the circumstances of the event. In addition, all Cal Poly Pomona faculty and staff will be required to use Graphic Communication Services (GCS) as an agent for all printing services and publications. GCS will be responsible for bidding out all projects so the university can receive the best possible quality and price point on print materials. Any deviation from these practices may result in the denial of reimbursement or funding.
