In order to carry out the tasks of the university in teaching, research and service, it is sometimes necessary to conclude legally binding agreements ("contracts") with other institutions. The University is only bound by written contracts in which the University or a sub-entity is officially involved, which have been reviewed and approved in accordance with this policy and which have been executed by university officials who have specific contract signing authority. No official or member of the university community has the authority to sign contracts on behalf of the university or any program, department or department of the university, unless there is an official delegation of written authority. This guideline describes the university`s requirements for reviewing and approving contracts, as well as protocols for delegating signing authority. This policy applies to all members of the university community. Contract Review Procedure: Specifies the process for different types of contracts, e.B.

The office of the General Counsel`s objective in all contract reviews is to provide timely service while ensuring that all agreements meet the university`s appropriate requirements for regulatory compliance, good business practices, and required insurance coverage.
