Introduction-Continued
If you are involved in an accident while operating a personally owned vehicle or a vehicle leased in your name, liability protection will be governed by your automobile insurance coverage, not by ¶¶Òõ̽̽'s. If you are involved in an accident while operating a vehicle owned or leased in the name of the University, you must report the accident to your supervisor immediately who must then report it to Risk Management (656-3242) and Police Services (656-3473).
Your personal property, whether used to perform your assigned duties or not, is not covered by ¶¶Òõ̽̽ insurance. It is your sole responsibility.
