Lots of paperwork, including current value assessments, are usually generated, ad nauseum. It would be interesting to see if that is actually in place.....(trails off, whistling in the distance...)
He came from another university 5 years ago (5 yrs and 1 day to be precise...that is when he'll be vested with this uni and the next day he starts at ND). Some of his equip was purchased on grants that are moving with him, some was brought with him at the time, etc. I'm sure the dept didn't purchase anything of his so that is not moving with him.
