PER-2.11 May 1, 1992 Nepotism

Because the university seeks to promote or employ the best qualified person for a position, no applicant shall be rejected and no employee shall be restricted or favored in matters of pay, promotion, assignment, working conditions, or any other factor as a result of a familial relationship with any university employee.

When one family member might be in a position to make final decisions regarding employment, promotion, pay, assignment, or working conditions of another immediate family member, the final decision is to be deferred to the next higher level of authority.
