EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLOR AND PROVOST
VICE CHANCELLOR-ADMINISTRATION
VICE CHANCELLOR - FINANCE
RE: Delegations of Authority- Authority to Act for the Chancellor
Board of Regents Bylaw 31. Chancellors provides in as follows:
"The Chancellors serve as the executive heads of their respective campuses, implementing the policies
and objectives of the Board and of the President of the University, and appraising the Board and the
President of the University of significant developments affecting their campuses and the University. The
Chancellors set the policies, goals and strategic direction for their campuses, consistent with those of the
University. The Chancellors are responsible for the organization, internal administration, operation,
financial management, and discipline of their campuses within the budget and policies approved by the
Board and/or the President of the University. They oversee all faculty personnel and other staff at their
locations, and appoint all members of the instructional staff, and may fix their remuneration in accordance
with the provisions of the budget established by the Board and the salary scales of the University."
To ensure that the campus always has in the Office of the Chancellor an Officer with authority to act on necessary
matters involving campus operations, I declare as follows:
In my extended absence or in case of my inability to act, I hereby delegate authority to the Executive Vice
Chancellor and Provost to act for me in the exercise of the Chancellor's duties;
When both the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and I are absent or unable to act, the Vice
Chancellor - Administration is authorized to act for me; and
In the event of my absence and the absences or inability to act of the Executive Vice Chancellor and
Provost and the Vice Chancellor - Administration, the Vice Chancellor - Finance is authorized to act for
me.
In all cases, matters requiring the Chancellor's actions or the Chancellor's signature shall be presented to my staff
for orderly disposition.
This delegation is effective immediately and supersedes the authority previously issued on June 9, 2023. This
authority may not be further delegated.
Signed,
Richard K. Lyons
Chancellor
