Can a Dean, Department Chair, Director, Professor, or Principal Investigator Execute a Contract?
No. The Board of Regents has delegated to each Chancellor the authority to execute certain contracts on behalf of the Board. The Director of the Business Services Office is our campus official with contracting authority. The Business Services Office requires that any campus sponsor of a business contract review, approve, and sign-off on the contract before the contract is executed by the Director of Business Services or her designee.
