Staplers and hole punches are no longer available in our teaching labs around campus, since this past fall.  It was becoming a big cost replacing staplers when they broke and keeping boxes of staples near them.  When they were available the staplers/hole punches were locked down with security cables. If a professor wants one for class, their department needs to supply one.  
Never supplied them in residence halls.

In our Technology Center where there is student staffing we have electric staplers that are padlocked under the desk.  The hole punches are near the printers but locked with security cables.

Subject: Staplers and hole punches in the labs?

When I started at the university 11 years ago, it was in coordinating labs for our biggest department. I was put on the task of supplying the labs with staplers and hole punches. This has been an on going battle now with the various system admins and the students. I think the students feel that they are entitled to staplers and hole punches.

The university has had nothing but issues keeping working equipment in the labs. We are now re-evaluating if this is something that we should continue to fight with or just tell the students that it is not a service we will continue to support.

What does your university do? How do you deal with keeping staplers filled and in working condition or do you not have them available?

Thanks for your time.
Margaret
