We are sensitive to the potential for favoritism (or appearance of favoritism) and other problems created by the hiring, promotion, or transfer of relatives. With this in mind, no employee in a management or supervisory position may have an immediate family member working in the same area or have direct supervisory responsibilities for that individual. Immediate family, for the purposes of this policy, is defined as spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sister, brother. If two employees or faculty marry or become qualified domestic partners, creating a conflict with this policy, one of the employees or faculty may be asked to transfer to another position within the College (at the Chief Academic Officer’s discretion) or resign.
