AUTHORIZATION OF CAPITAL PROJECTS. The Board of Visitors shall authorize the initiation of each Major Capital Project by approving its size, scope, budget, and funding. The President, acting through the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, shall adopt procedures for approving the size, scope, budget and funding of all other capital projects. Major Capital Projects that are to be funded entirely or in part by a general fund appropriation of the General Assembly or proceeds from State Tax Supported Debt, shall require both Board of Visitors approval and those pre- appropriation approvals of the State’s governmental agencies then applicable, and shall follow the State’s process for capital budget requests. It shall be the policy of the University that the implementation of capital projects shall be carried out so that the capital project as completed is the capital project approved by the Board for Major Capital Projects and according to the procedures adopted by the President, acting through the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, for all other capital projects. The President, acting through the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, shall ensure strict adherence to this requirement. Accordingly, the budget, size and scope of a capital project shall not be materially changed beyond the plans and justifications that were the basis for the capital project's approval, either before or during construction, unless approved in advance as described above. Minor changes shall be permissible if they are determined by the President, acting through the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, to be justified. Major Capital Projects may be submitted for Board of Visitors authorization at any time but must include a statement of urgency if not part of the approved Major Capital Project program.
