EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
BUSINESS CONTRACTS AND BRAND PROTECTION
September 29, 2025
Re: Delegation of Authority 2661 – Execution of Agreements
Pursuant to Presidential Delegation of Authority 2661 regarding the execution of agreements dated June 13, 2025, and redelegated to me by the Chancellor, I am redelegating to your role as Executive Director, Business Contracts and Brand Protection the authority to negotiate and execute various agreements required with outside organizations, agencies, and individuals to implement approved programs and activities within your areas of responsibility in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 in value.
Within the scope outlined above, you are authorized to negotiate and execute all such agreements except those which: contain provisions falling within the restrictions and limitations set forth in Standing Order 100.4(dd), require approval of The Regents because of specific Regental policy, or require approval by the President pursuant to specific memoranda issued from time to time. Other conditions as stated in President Drake’s June 13, 2025 letter apply, but are not reiterated in this letter.
The authority provided by this delegation is broad and should be exercised with discretion. This authority may not be further redelegated. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Campus Delegations of Authority Coordinator at contactdelegations@berkeley.edu.
This delegation is effective immediately and supersedes President Gardner’s December 30, 1991 Delegation of Authority 1058.
Sincerely,
Marc Fisher
Vice Chancellor, Administration
