BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 21

Legal Defense The selection and control of legal actions and attorney(s) representing the University or its employees is the responsibility of the University Counsel and the expenses involved, in consultation with the Vice President for Administration, would be charged to the reserve funds. Chums against University Trustees, Officers, Employees, and Certain Students Recommendations are being developed to define criteria for disposition or payment of claims asserted against University Trustees, officers, employees, and certain students for actions taken by them within the scope of their University duties, relationships, or employment. Pending further action by the Board of Trustees, it is proposed that the Public Liability Reserve Fund and the Professional Liability Fund be available to pay such claims, u p to the total amount of the unobligated balances in those funds from time to time, on the same basis and subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions contained in the following University public and professional liability policies which will expire on August 1, 1976: Continental Insurance Company, Policy No. L6-29-63-91 Hospital Professional Liability $100,000 per occurrence $300,000 annual aggregate

Glacier General Assurance Company, Policy No. XSS 220 Hospital Professional Liability Limits: Per occurrence $400,000 excess over $100,000 Annual aggregate $200,000 excess over $300,000 It is intended by the foregoing to provide the same coverages for claims against University Trustees, officers, employees, and certain students as are provided by said insurance policies, except that the coverages will be further limited by the amount of the unobligated balances in said funds. Individuals against whom such claims are asserted by reason of their performance of duties within the scope of their University relationship or employment must promptly notify the University of all such claims, and of incidents which may result in such claims, and cooperate with the University in the investigation and disposition of all claims.
