Nepotism
     All applicants are evaluated for University positions based on their qualifications. Relatives of current employees who are candidates for hire will not have an advantage or disadvantage over other candidates.

     However, no one will be hired for a job in which there is a subordinate-superior relationship through any line of authority between the new hire and a relative. For purposes of this policy relatives are defined as spouses, parents, children, siblings, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law.
   Exclusions
     The nepotism policy does not apply to:
  • Children under age 25 hired as temporary or part-time employees
  • Employees hired as of Feb. 14, 1990, where a relative holds a superior position at least one level of supervision removed from the individual
  • Chancellor recommended exceptions approved by the Board of Regents
