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 Vice Chancellor - Administration 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 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.
The authority provided by this delegation is broad and should be exercised with
discretion. Redelegation should be limited to appropriate levels of authority. Any redelegation of
authority shall be in writing, with a copy to the Campus Delegations of Authority Coordinator. 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,
Richard K. Lyons
Chancellor
