Contracting Authority

Under the provisions of the UW Board of Regents Policy 93-1, the authority to sign UW-La Crosse contracts on behalf of the Board of Regents has been delegated to the UW-La Crosse Chancellor who, in turn, has delegated contract signature authority to only a limited number of UW-La Crosse officers.  No UW-La Crosse employees other than those with specific Chancellor delegation may sign UW-La Crosse contracts or agreements.  A list of these individuals can be found here.

Q:  What is a UW-La Crosse contract?
A:  A UW-La Crosse contract is any agreement where there is a mutual exchange of promises that binds UW-La Crosse and another party to performance of the responsibilities described in the agreement.  Examples can include affiliation agreements, facility use agreements, terms and conditions of another agreement, leases, memoranda of agreement or understanding, and purchase agreements.

Q:  What happens if someone other than the Chancellor or a Chancellor designee signs a UW-La Crosse contract?
A:  That person could assume personal responsibility and liability for the contract and for any damages, financial or otherwise, that may result.
