TEST Delegation Authority Summary

This chart is a summary of the delegations of ​contracting authority for the Fayetteville campus under Board of Trustees Policy 300.1 and UA Systemwide Policies  and Procedures (UASP) 300.1., as well as a non-exhaustive record of certain other delegations of authority for the campus. As such, it serves as the record of approved requests for delegation of contracting authority as required by FPP 220.0. Note that the delegation is to position, rather than occupant, although it is good practice to update the delegation for new incumbents. If there is a discrepancy between this summary and the related source of authority, the source of authority  takes precedence
