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 Director(s) of Athletics the authority to negotiate and execute
agreements for intercollegiate athletic agreements pertaining to the scheduling of sporting events with
other universities (“Sports Guarantee Agreements”) in an amount not to exceed $750,000 in value.
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 and is limited to $100,000 in value. 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
