NEPOTISM POLICY
Effective February 10, 2000

In order to prevent the development of an interconnecting group of close relatives in its employ, the University does not allow the hiring of relatives in positions where there is any level of supervisory relationship between the parties.

Relative is defined as mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, or half sister.

Conformity with the regulation requires that the facts about kinship be stated in the employment application and in the justification section (of the formal Personnel Recommendation form) whenever a person of a kinship to an employee of the University is recommended for any appointment whatsoever.

The University may waive the application of this policy whenever the Vice President of Human Resource Management determines, in his/her sole discretion, that it is in the best interest of the University to do so.
