Just a couple of questions before I sign on:

Will the organization be legally constituted?

Will it have a budget of any sort and/or will it raise funds?

Will officers be indemnified or insured against damages?
New Scenario: School X organizes USU with USUDA. Something bad happens, 
a lawsuit begins. Campus X dos not want to be responsible so they sue 
the organizers, USUDA. USUDA has no policy, so officers are responsible.
Old scenario: No one to blame, so host has to handle it.
This is what my legal adviser has told me to ask. I am told that if it 
is not insured, don't be an officer.

Not trying to rain on any parade, but curious.
