ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ

ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ, East Bay protects its employees from claims and lawsuits for acts arising out of and in the course and scope of their employment (see generally California Government Code Sections 825-825.6). 

On the other hand, if an employee commits acts that are outside the course and scope of their employment (i.e. sexual harassment) and/or are criminal acts (i.e. fraud), then those acts are not protected (see generally California Government Code Sections 995-996.6).

The University participates in a state-wide self-insurance pool known as the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Risk Management Authority (CSURMA).  It consists of all the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ system campuses and most of the related auxiliaries.  Contact the Risk Management office for a description of actual coverage's.
