Re: Delegation of Authority 2661 – Execution of Agreements
Pursuant to Presidential Delegation of Authority 2661 regarding the execution of agreements dated June
13, 2025, I am redelegating to your role as Executive and Artistic Director, Cal Performances the
authority to negotiate and execute agreements for concerts, lectures, rental of films, and various
theatrical and musical productions in an amount not to exceed $400,000. All agreements exceeding
$400,000 must be co-signed by the Chancellor.
Within the scope of this delegation, 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.
You may further redelegate this authority to appropriate levels of authority with the instruction that their
authority may not be further redelegated. Redelegation of authority shall be in writing, with a copy to
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,
Richard K. Lyons
Chancellor
