What is the coordinators personal level of liability for not following policy?
In a September 14, 2004 memo to deans, chairs, and coordinators, the Internship Office stated, on behalf of the university: “Without a signed Master Agreement, the university insurance may not be available to protect the department, faculty, and/or student. . . . If a claim is filed in the instance where a student has participated in an internship, but did so prior to enrolling for credit and signature of a Master Agreement, the insurance will likely not cover the claims. In such cases the faculty member, department, or student may be required to shoulder any liability with no guarantee of institutional support.” For a complete copy of the memo, see the Internship Coordinator Handbook.
