REAPPOINTMENT OF THE MANAGERIAL GROUP WITH RESPONSIBILITY
FOR CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE CONTRACTS

The President explained that to avoid the effort of obtaining security clearances for each member of the Board, a policy was established to approve a resolution delegating responsibility for classified information in connection with Department of Defense contracts to a managerial group. The group was last designated by the Board on February 3, 1972. Under the Industrial Security regulations, a resolution designating the managerial group must be adopted each time the membership of the Board is changed.

Contracts between The Rector and Visitors and the Department of Defense require that the University follow security procedures as outlined in the Industrial Security Manual.

The following resolution was adopted:

• RESOLVED by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that as required under paragraph 22 d (2) and otherwise in the Industrial Security Manual, Department of Defense, the following persons be and they are hereby specifically and properly designated as the MANAGERIAL GROUP having the authority and responsibility for the negotiation, execution, and administration of User Agency Contracts:
• Mr. David A. Shannon, Vice-President and Provost (Alternate Signatory)
• Mr. Vincent Shea, Vice-President for Business and Finance (Alternate Signatory)
• Mr. Ray C. Hunt, Jr., University Comptroller (Principal Signatory)
• Mr. Dennis W. Barnes, Associate Provost for Research (Alternate Signatory)
• BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors does hereby delegate all of its duties and responsibilities pertaining to the protection of classified information to the Managerial Group named above. The Board of Visitors shall not require, shall not have, and can be effectively excluded from access to all classified information in the possession of the University and the members do not occupy positions that would enable them to affect adversely the University's policies or practices in the performance of classified contracts or programs for the User Agencies.
