The Treasurer's Office is responsible for insurance activities throughout the University. The Board of Trustees has designated the Treasurer (and / or her designee) as the responsible party for all matters related to Insurance. The main activity of this function is to identify the various risks that face the University and take the necessary actions to manage those risks.
The University of Massachusetts, similar to other Institutions, face the potential for liability which may arise as employees carry out their various duties. The employees and/or the institution could be held liable for actions which may cause bodily injury, personal injury, or property damage to others. The University manages many of these exposures through the purchase of various forms of Liability Insurance. These policies are designed to protect the institution and its employees for claims which may be presented.
