Is private property covered by University insurance if it is on campus or used for University business?
The University insures only the property it owns or leases. There are exceptions. The University will cover property loaned or rented from a non-University owner provided there is a written agreement signed by authorized personnel. Contact Equipment Management at 3-8233 or Procurement & Business Contracts at 2-3291 for more information. It should be noted that on no occasion is the University responsible for the loss of private property due to criminal acts. Sorry, but if your backpack or laptop is stolen on campus, the University cannot compensate you.
