I.
Delegation of Signature Authority by the Chancellor
The
Board of Trustees of The University of North Carolina
at Charlotte has authorized the Chancellor to execute
contracts, financial documents, and other official
documents necessary for the conduct of the University’s
business. Identical authority has been delegated
to the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs, and,
in the absence of that Vice Chancellor, to the Associate
Vice Chancellor for Business Planning and Analysis.
Pursuant
to authority granted by the Board of Trustees, the
Chancellor has delegated to other individuals on the
campus limited authority to sign certain documents
as agents of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
No person is authorized to execute such documents
on behalf of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte
unless authority to do so has been delegated in writing
by the Chancellor or other University official authorized
to make such delegations. Failure to observe this
requirement may result in personal liability on the
contract or individual responsibility for the representations
made. Administrative positions at the University
whose incumbents are currently assigned such authority
are listed at http://www.legal.uncc.edu/policies/kauthority.html.
II.
Delegation of Signature Authority by the President
of The University of North Carolina
Policies
of The University of North Carolina authorize the
President of the University of North Carolina to execute
certain sponsored program documents. Sponsored Programs
are scholarly, professional, and creative activities
that University personnel conduct with support from
external funding instruments such as grants, contracts,
cooperative agreements, or other agreements deemed
appropriate by The University of North Carolina Board
of Governors. To expedite sponsored program documents,
the President of The University of North Carolina
has delegated to certain named individuals at each
institution the authority to sign applications for
grants, contracts or cooperative agreements and internal
processing forms on behalf of the institution’s chancellor
and chief financial officer. These named individuals
are listed at http://www.legal.uncc.edu/policies/appauthority.html.
No other persons are authorized to sign such documents
for those officers.
The
Office of General Counsel is responsible
for maintaining a current record of campus officials
authorized to sign particular classes of documents
for The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
That office will respond promptly to requests for
information concerning signature authority. Campus
officials responsible for making such delegations
should inform that office of changes made in delegation
of that authority.
