Insurance and Claims

Risk Management works with departments and third parties regarding claims to evaluate and determine the potential for recovery and initiate the claims process.

The university has various types of insurance or self-insurance to cover the different risks the institution faces. These include general liability, property, fine arts, international travel, day care, camps and clinics, athletics, and workers' compensation. The current department deductible is $5,000 per occurrence.  Property insurance does not cover the personal property of employees or students.
