POLICY ON NEPOTISM
This policy was recommended by the Academic Senate on May 3, 2001
and approved by the President on June 14, 2001.
There shall be no bars to the appointment of close relatives in
administrative, faculty, staff or student employment categories,
in the same or different units or departments, as long as the following
standard is met:
No University employee shall vote, make recommendations, or in
any way participate in decisions about any personnel matter which
may directly or indirectly affect the selection, appointment, retention,
tenure, compensation, promotion, termination, other employment status
or interest of a close relative. No individual shall serve on personnel
committees or as a reviewing officer when the matter involves a
close relative.
In the event an appointment of an applicant to serve under a close
relative supervisor is to be made, the close relative supervisor
must furnish a statement as to how decisions on personnel matters
affecting the close relative will be handled. This statement
must accompany the appointment documents.
"Close relative" is defined as spouse or domestic partner, son
or daughter, brother or sister, father or mother, and step-relatives
or in-laws of the same relationship.
