The President has delegated contracting authority
for the University solely to staff in Contracts & Procurement.
Only staff in Contracts & Procurement may sign a contract on
behalf of the University. Any individual who signs a contract obligating
the University without prior written authorization from Contracts
& Procurement may be personally liable for that obligation.
The University may choose not to honor contracts entered into by
individuals unauthorized to act on behalf of the University.
President’s
Contract Delegation
The Office of University Risk Management reviews contracts and
agreements as requested by Contracts & Procurement to assess
identify and assess risks, evaluate insurance standards, and review
hold harmless and indemnification provisions. The Chancellor’s
Office requires that the University obtain in most instances not
only a Certificate of Insurance, but also an Endorsement. Collecting
these documents is often the most time consuming of the contracting
process.
