Professional liability coverage

Free coverage is provided to university employees by the Office of the President. The program is designed to pay specific types of judgments which may be rendered against any employee as a consequence of conduct undertaken within the course and scope of employment. The maximum payable under this plan, which is a part of the Tort Claims Law, is $100,000. The university system also has purchased a supplemental plan for coverage of university employees and officers up to a maximum of one million dollars.
