From: Scott Stangroom <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2014 10:21:09 -0400 Liane, You probably don't have the authority (and perhaps not even your governor does either) to waive sovereign immunity. In any case, I would advise against agreeing to or negotiating this point with the vendor. The vendor needs to strike the clause or you should walk away from the offer. ~Scott ______________________ Scott Stangroom Acquisitions Coordinator University of Massachusetts, Amherst W.E.B.
