Reporting structure changes

As the University moves forward with adopting a new strategic plan and because new initiatives are planned within the Office of Risk Management, the reporting structure for the coordinator of strategic planning and risk management will change from the Office of University Counsel to the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.

Effective July 15, the Office of Enterprise Risk Management and Insurance Services has been established under the coordination of Rose Marie Johnson. The Office of Enterprise Risk Management and Insurance Services will continue to provide service related to workers’ compensation for faculty, staff and student employees. Additionally, all insurance matters related to the assessment of coverage needs, bidding, auditing, transferring of risk to other policies, and procuring all necessary policies on behalf of the University will be facilitated through this office. For budgetary purposes, all insurance-related expense accounts within the University budget (5232) will be transferred to the risk management budget.

If you have a question concerning this change, call Johnson at 843-249-6448. With the adoption of the strategic plan, she will continue to coordinate the Strategic Management Committee.

The goal of the Office of Enterprise Risk Management and Insurance Services is to coordinate efforts with all departments on and off campus to ensure the protection and preservation of CCU’s human, physical and financial assets.

Any personal injury claim not related to a workers’ compensation claim should be referred to the Office of University Counsel. All matters involving contracts, including, but not limited to, negotiation, retention, interpretation and execution, will be handled by the Office of University Counsel.

Johnson continues to work from Atheneum Hall 101G until the renovation of the Singleton Building is complete.
