The
University requires that all agreements for the purchase of
services and some complex agreements for the purchase of goods
be described formally in a written contract. A written contract
establishes a specific formal relationship between the parties,
clearly defines the rights and responsibilities of each party
and provides a written reference of what each party agreed to
in the event a dispute arises at some later date. |

The
bylaws of the University stipulate that the University Treasurer
is the ordinary contracting officer for the University. The
bylaws allow the Treasurer to delegate those duties to one or
more University employees. The Treasurer has delegated the responsibility
for signing contracts to the Vice Presidents of the campuses.
