Does the institution limit free printing for students in all computer labs and libraries?:
A brief description of how printing is limited:
LMU does limit free printing for students in all computer labs and the library. Free printing is limited for students through a donated monetary stipend of $25 for each school year. The allocated money can be used exclusively for black and white printing in the library and computer labs and costs 10 cents per page, allowing each student only 250 available pages to print. Color printing is not included in the donated money portion. On average, the library produces approximately 500,000 pages per semester. Loyola Marymount University’s student population approaches 6,000, each with 250 available pages to print for free. This means only 66% of the free printing is used each year. Before 1999, all printing from the library was free. LMU began charging students who printed more than 250 pages, which significantly contributed to the reduction of printing and paper waste on campus. In the case that a student surpasses 250 pages, they must use their own money to print on all printers located in the library and/or computer labs. By limiting “free” printing to only 250 pages students are discouraged to use printers located in the library and computer labs because they are charged for any printing beyond this capacity.
