Individuals Authorized to Sign Contracts
University Memorandum: Contract Procedures (pdf)新加坡六合彩开奖网 Policy 1.04 / Execution of Contracts identifies the individuals authorized to contractually bind the university by executing a contract. The list of persons authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the university is short. Faculty and staff members should not enter into contracts to which the university will be a party without first seeking legal review of the contract and having a contract signed by an authorized signer.
Persons who sign contracts obliging the university to perform some duty that do not have the authority to do so expose themselves to personal liability in the event there are problems with the contract in the future. If you have any questions about whether you can sign a contract or whether a contract needs General Counsel鈥檚 review, contact the Office of General Counsel.

Request review of a contract
University departments should always encourage third parties to agree to the University Standard Terms and Conditions to expedite the contract review process. To request that the Office of General Counsel review a third-party contract to be signed by the university, please proceed as follows:
- If the contract is an agreement on behalf of the Division of Industry and Defense Programs (i.e. NIAR, NIRDT, Ennovar, T3), send the contract to the Industry and Defense Programs Office of Research, at contracts@idp.wichita.edu.
- If the contract is an agreement for and/or involves sponsored research for any department that is not housed within the Division of Industry and Defense Programs, send the contract to the Office of Research, at proposals@wichita.edu.
- For all other contracts,
- Contact the party requesting that we sign the contract, and request that they send us the document in an editable format, such as in Word.
- Review the document for any prohibited terms.
- E-mail the contract to gc.contracts@wichita.edu.
