RE: Redelegation of Authority - Negotiation, Approval, and Execution of Real Property Easements and Rights of Way

The authority to negotiate, approve, and execute easements and rights of way for campus real property was delegated to Chancellors by Presidential Delegation DA 2117, April 5, 2000. I am redelegating to you the authority to negotiate, and within the following parameters to approve and execute, easements and rights of way for campus real property when such contracts:

1. are (i) revocable on not more than 120 days' notice, or (ii) provide utility services to the campus exclusively, regardless of revocability, or (iii) comprise less than 1,000 square feet of campus land;

2. are not conveyances of a fee interest in real property;

3. do not involve the assumption by the University of liability for conduct of persons other than University officers, agents, employees, students, invitees, and guests, except that this restriction does not apply if under the agreement the University assumes responsibility for liability resulting from the condition of licensed property which the University is obliged to maintain; and

4. are written on a University Standard Form without significant modification or on a form that has been approved by the General Counsel.

Easement and Right-of-Way agreements that do not meet these conditions must be submitted to the President, the President and the Chairman of the Board, or The Regents for approval and execution, in accordance with the Standing Orders of The Regents.

This authority may not be redelegated further and supersedes the May 22, 2000 redelegation of authority from Chancellor Cicerone on the same subject (IDA 305).

Chancellor
