15.J Indemnification

The University’s policy is to defend and indemnify employees who become parties to legal proceedings by virtue of their good faith efforts to perform their responsibilities of employment. Authority for decisions about the application of this policy for the Ann Arbor Campus rests with the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs in consultation with the President and other Executive Officers as appropriate. For the Flint and Dearborn campuses, authority rests with the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs in consultation with the Chancellor. In all cases, authority for selection of appropriate legal counsel rests with the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. (SPG 601.09)
