The project is managed by a university project manager (PM).  The project is managed by someone within the division that owns the project. 
The PM is responsible for project progress reporting.  The division is responsible for project progress reporting through the University PMO. 

The Vice President sponsoring the project designates an activity owner who will work in conjunction with the PM.  

The activity owner provides subject matter expertise, and project leadership with the division. 

The division may request consultation with the University PMO for how to approach the project or management of it.
