Board of Visitors minutes May 30, 2003 | ||
I. Preamble
Chapters 995 and 933 of the 1996 Acts of Assembly (House Bill No. 884 and Senate Bill No. 389, respectively) delegated limited but significant autonomy to the University of Virginia to establish its own postappropriation system for undertaking the implementation of non-general fund capital projects for the University of Virginia Medical Center. In general, the autonomy is designed to replace the traditional post appropriations system of reviews, approvals, policies and procedures carried out by a variety of central State agencies identified in the enabling legislation. The University's system for carrying out the post-appropriation capital outlay process for non-general fund capital projects of the Medical Center is to be governed by policies adopted by the Board of Visitors. Similarly, § 4-5.08 of the 1996 Appropriation Act delegated nearly identical limited autonomy to the University as a whole for non-general fund capital projects authorized for the 1996-1998 biennium.
The following provisions of this policy statement are based on the 1996 policy statement for non-general fund projects with modifications added that extend the policy to include state general fund and state-supported debt projects as provided in Section 4-5.08f.1. of Chapter 1042 -2003 Acts of Assembly. This statement constitutes the adopted Board of Visitors policies regarding both Medical Center state general fund, statesupported debt, and non-general fund capital projects and other University state general fund, state-supported debt, and non-general fund capital projects.
