Category: Conduct Procedures and Policies
Should you be concerned about the extent of your legal responsibility, rest assured that the University's liability coverage would apply to a club or organization under reasonable circumstances. As always, it is important that you act as a reasonable and prudent person would act. If your club decides to enter into a physically demanding activity then you should ensure precautions are taken. Universities typically do not sponsor or have their name associated with risky activities of this nature unless the university has clearly stated the risks involved in a Hold Harmless Waiver (Liability) Form, and the university’s insurance company has been consulted.
The best advice for you is to contact the Office of Student Activities if you have any reason to be concerned about the health and safety of students in conjunction with the club.University of Portland
