Who can sign contracts on behalf of the Regents?
The Chancellor has been delegated authority to sign contracts on behalf of the campus. He has delegated that authority, in part, to various individuals on campus. Unless you have received specific authorization from the Chancellor’s office, you cannot sign a contract on behalf of the University. Contracts can include permits, applications, facility use agreements, hotel reservations, leases, charters and just about any other kind of written agreement that contain terms and conditions that obligate the Regents. Contract disputes are not covered by the University’s self-insurance program, making it even more important that trained and authorized personnel review and execute contracts on behalf of departments entering into agreements with off-campus vendors, consultants, contractors, and facilities.
