LITIGATION CLAIMS

Executive Task Force
December 19, 1991

1. General Counsel of the University or his designee may settle claims of up to $20,000 on behalf of any campus of the University;

2. Such settlements will be paid from campus funds under the jurisdiction of the Campus Chancellor and staff;

3. At the point of settlement, in effect, before a final commitment is made the Campus Chancellor will be asked to approve the settlement;

4. Once the Campus Chancellor has approved a settlement and such a settlement is agreed upon, Counsel will request the Campus Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance to provide Counsel with the settlement payment;
5. Settlements exceeding $20,000 will process through the appropriate state financing, procedures involving the State Comptroller and State Administration and Finance;

6. This policy in no ways absolves the State from overall responsibility in those instances where legitimate claims can be made on State appropriated resources. The purpose of the policy is to allow a mechanism where small settlements can be quickly resolved and payment made.
