Risk Management

UT SYSTEM coordinates the purchase of insurance policies for component institutions.  This includes policies that cover multiple components (such as the System-wide Auto Liability policy) and policies that apply to specific risks at individual components.

If you are concerned about a special risk due to a potential contractual arrangement or special circumstances within your department, and would like to discuss it, please contact Jody Nelsen at ext. 2256 or via e-mail at jnelsen@utdallas.edu.

Ms. Nelsen is a member of the UT System Risk Management Advisory Council.  If insurance coverage appears to be the best way of managing the risk, Ms. Nelsen will work with UT System to acquire any needed insurance coverage.
