Does the institution have an institution-wide stated preference to purchase EPEAT Silver or higher computers and monitors?:
Yes

The website URL where the EPEAT policy, directive, or guidelines are posted :
A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :

UNLV partners with the university’s centralized information technology division to create and maintain a sustainable purchasing policy for computer and peripheral purchases.

This policy highly encourages campus customers to select EPEAT rated computers. At the same time, we have required our contracted computer suppliers to make available green product information through the online computer ordering portal.

For more information, please visit http://purchasing.unlv.edu/GREEN/policy.html - the appropriate section is "Long Term Commitments, Energy Savings."

Note: On occasion, departments use their university credit card (PCard) to make computer purchases, thus making it impossible to capture every single computer, monitor, etc. purchase made by all UNLV employees.
