Attorney. Defense
may be refused in the event the employee committed fraud,
corruption or actual malice, or if the act was completely
outside the course and scope of the individual’s University
employment, or if two employees are suing each other.
Otherwise, coverage limits are $11 million per employee,
per incident with an annual aggregate limit of $25 million
dollars. For
more information on this protection, please contact
