PLEASE NOTE: Many policies and procedures in the links below assigned rights and responsibilities to the Vice President for Finance and Administration (VPFA). In May 2023, the University abolished the position of VPFA and created the positions of Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Following the reorganization, the University Board of Trustees passed resolutions that assigned duties previously assigned to the VPFA to the COO or CFO. Please refer to these resolutions when reviewing a policy or procedure that discusses the VPFA:
