What are delegations of authority?
A delegation of authority (DA) conveys significant responsibility and prescribed control from one campus official to one or more other campus officials. The authority is issued to a position and not to the incumbent. The statement of authority, issued in a letter or memo format, usually sets forth a course of action to be taken by the delegatee(s) and states whether or not this authority may be further redelegated. For more information, see Preface.
