Managing KSU's Contracting Process

Effective Tuesday, January 16, 2018, the university's Contract Compliance department, within Fiscal Services, is the department responsible for managing the university's contracting process. Contract Compliance is the initial point for receiving contract review requests or requests for new contracts, and insuring that all applicable approvals (including the legal review and approval) will be obtained prior to execution of the contract by the appropriate signing authority. Legal Affairs reviews the legal terms and conditions of contracts in coordination with Contract Compliance, other reviewing departments, and the department that initiated the contract review request.
