Due to circumstances beyond the control of DoIT, installation of computers as part of the Computer Replacement Initiative (CRI) has been delayed until the end of September. This deployment had been planned to begin at the end of July. The reason for the delay is that our vendor, Dell, has recently began offering to its corporate customers an "environmentally friendly" shipping option that avoids excessive use of non-biodegradable packing materials. DoIT, as a part of its commitment to sustainability, chose this optional shipping method when the order was placed. Unfortunately, Dell has experienced various difficulties in executing these orders, and has informed us that it will be some weeks before our computers arrive in their "eco-friendly" packing. DoIT apologizes for the inconvenience, and thanks those affected for their continued patience.
