Purpose and Summary
This policy explains that general procurement policies apply to all University funds (except agency funds), regardless of source. Policies for agency funds are set by the external organization for whom the University holds the funds.

The University must act with reasonable care in administering the funds of others. The University does not exercise any direct financial control over the use of agency funds; funds are to be spent as directed by the external organization’s policies and guidelines.
Policy
