Since 1994, most of the IUC Universities have purchased their group property and casualty insurance on a group basis. The IUC- Insurance Consortium (“IUC-IC”) formalized their pooling in 2006 and created the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors comprises representatives from each University and is the decision-making body for insurance issues of the group programs. There are 4 committees that report to the Board of Governors: Risk Management, Risk Control, Claims and Finance, Audit and Investment. Risk Management and Risk Control have representation from each University. In 2009, a Director was hired to coordinate the activities of the IUC-IC and act as a facilitator to other IUC committees and university departments to address insurance and risk related issues. In 2015, the consortium was incorporated as a non-profit corporation.

Each Member University acts through its respective representative on the Board of Governors. That representative is appointed and serves the Board as a Governor as provided in the Pooling Agreement and Article II of the By-Laws. The powers granted to the Organization by the Pooling Agreement or otherwise shall be vested in and exercised by the Governors. Each University has one vote on the Board of Governors.
