The AGO provides legal advice and representation to WSU administrators, officers, and other employees acting in their official capacities, as well as to the WSU Regents. The AGO’s client is WSU, not any particular individual working for WSU, although the final authority to make legal decisions on behalf of WSU rests with the President and, ultimately, the Regents. The attorneys in the AGO do not make decisions on behalf of WSU and do not set WSU policy; their job is to provide confidential legal advice to assist WSU officials in making decisions.
