Chermside [mailto:xxxxxx@VCU.EDU] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 12:03 PM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Hold harmless language VCU, a state university in Virginia, cannot by instruction from the Attorney General agree to indemnify and/or hold harmless anyone for any reason. Period. This same thing applies to state U's in at least some states. We substitute the following language (feel free to start here writing your own!): "To the extent permitted by the Virginia Tort Claims Act, or, where found liable, to the extent of insurance coverage, VCU shall be responsible for the negligent acts or omissions of its officers, employees or agents arising out of its obligations under this agreement. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of the sovereign immunity of VCU or the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Commonwealth, its agencies, institutions, and employees are covered by a self insured plan based on a comprehensive general liability manuscript form as authorized by the Code of Virginia, § 2.1-191.11."
