We keep such authorizations on file in our office, and if the person who signs a contract/subcontract or such is not one of those names on file, then we ask questions. Regardless of the signature authority though, we have a consensus on campus that all agreements go through appropriate institutional reviews, negotiations, and approvals before they are signed.

I would want to see a delegation of authority from a senior level (C-level).

One more question to the listserv.

 

We are looking at delegating signature authority in our office and was hoping some of you could share how your institutions handle this.

 

For example if we were to delegate signature authority for subcontracts we issue to other institutions are there any criteria you have for the person this would be delegated to and who in your institution has approval authority for the delegation.  I have some ideas however thought I would throw this out to you.

 

Please reply directly to xxxxxx@gwu.edu

 

Again, thanks for your input.

 

Hal
