Are questions normally asked if a person has a degree with other "sign-off"
authorization?  How would the grantors know this woman does not have a
degree?  I would imagine that if the university is comfortable giving her
"sign-off" authority it shouldn't matter to any grantor.

We have a woman on staff who is extremely capable with years of experience
in grant management in whom we are considering giving "sign-off" authority
on out going applications. No one questions her ability but someone
recently has questioned how this might look to certain grantors because the
woman does not have a degree.

What do you think?
