The University recognizes that there is an inherent conflict of interest when an employee in an administrative or executive position is directly responsible for making hiring, promotion, salary, or tenure decisions about a family member in that same budgetary unit. It is the responsibility of the budget unit to seek a waiver before offering employment to any person whose employment without a waiver would violate the Nepotism Policy. (See HSC Faculty Handbook Section 5.5 to view the entire policy)
