Lays out the criteria in which Dartmouth will indemnify an employee against liability and associated costs. 

This policy outlines the Dartmouth College institutional review and oversight process for research involving certain high-consequence pathogens and toxins to identify the potential for dual use research of concern and mitigate the associated risks.

Dartmouth utilizes external debt, and selectively, internal financial resources, to fund internal loans in an efficient and effective manner that facilitates long-term institutional and unit financial stability. This policy contains the guidelines for reviewing, approving, administering, and managing internal loans, a process which is managed by the Treasurer's Office with oversight from the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO").

Dartmouth's internal loans are analogous to a bank loan except that Dartmouth (central) reviews and determines eligibility for a unit's loan request, and if approved, advances the funds, and oversees the unit's re-payment of principal and interest over a fixed term through monthly charges to the unit's agreed upon operating account.

For loan consideration, the Treasurer's Office will review a unit's request, as part of an overall financing plan, typically for a capital project or equipment purchase. The Treasurer's Office and CFO have the authority to approve extending a loan to the unit and all internal loans must be approved before the asset is purchased or the capital construction/renovation begins.
