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.
