Risk management at the University of Maine System operates in a highly collaborative, decentralized environment supporting seven universities and a law school. While formal risk management staffing is limited, responsibilities are distributed across functional areas with strong coordination from the system office. The function plays a key role in systemwide policy development, insurance program administration across multiple campuses, and risk assessments. In addition, risk management conducts proactive auditing and monitoring efforts to identify emerging risks and strengthen compliance and loss prevention strategies. The overall approach emphasizes enterprise risk management principles, leveraging cross-campus partnerships to identify, assess, and mitigate risk while supporting consistency in insurance, claims, and compliance practices and allowing campuses flexibility to address localized risks. |
We are a system-wide office. There is some existing infrastructure in place, but we are looking to modify/rebuild. We have a chief officer for risk and compliance and special counsel and a director of risk management and compliance. SUNY System Administration has 64 campuses. |
