6.  Legal Actions Against the University

If a suit is being threatened, notify the department head and the Office of Risk Management. Prompt attention can often avert legal action. Document the circumstances or incident as completely as possible, noting any background or contributing factors. If a suit for damages has been filed, notify the Attorney General's Division at the University. Specific procedures are found in Executive Order No. 19.
