Policies & Procedures

Irvine Delegations of Authority (IDA)

Section 1

What is a Delegation of Authority Letter?

Authority for making decisions at the University is communicated through various means: policy manuals, letters, Business and Finance Bulletins. The Regents may authorize the President to redelegate certain authorities to Chancellors and other UC officers through formal Presidential Delegations of Authority (DA). The Chancellor may or may not be allowed to redelegate certain authorities to UCI administrators. This page lists Irvine Delegations of Authority (IDA) for those authorities which the Chancellor has choosen to redelegate.

Both Presidential and Irvine Delegations of Authority specify the title of the position to which the authority has been delegated, the extent of the authority, and whether or not the authority can be redelegated. This page also lists IDAs which are redelegations made by the administrators to whom the Chancellor delegated authority, when further redelegation is permitted.

Protocol for Issuing Irvine Delegation of Authority Letters

An IDA must not conflict with any UC policy and generally includes a reference to the Presidential DA and any specific terms, restrictions, or requirements. Since redelegated authority remains with a position title, IDAs should not contain individual names. IDAs must be issued by the Manager of Administrative Policies to ensure audit-worthy recordkeeping. See Section 103-12: Delegation of Authority and Signature Authorization Guidelines of the Administrative Policies & Procedures for further details.
