Who negotiated the contract with Google?
In June of 2008, a UC-wide contract was signed by University California Office of the President and Google, Inc. UC Davis, in conjunction with other campuses, worked with UCOP to develop a UC-wide contract that would meet the needs of the campus community. The contract is seven years—the initial contract is four years, and renewal is automatic for three additional one-year terms. The contract is not exclusive, and there is no cost to the University for using Google’s services. UC Davis has the right to terminate the agreement at any time. In the event of a contract termination, UC Davis would move all the existing accounts back to the central servers.
