From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Erica Heffner Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 8:24 AM To: ACUPA-L <[email protected]> Subject: [acupa-l] Gifts and Gratuities policies Hello all, I have a question regarding how your policies address potential gifts, gratuities or favors that could cause a conflict of interest, for example employees responsible for procurement contracts or similar situations. Do you include such provisions as part of your conflict of interest policy, in your code of conduct, or do you have a stand-alone policy/procedure? As part of a rewrite to our code of conduct, some of this content has been orphaned and we’re trying to find the best approach to communicate these restrictions. Any examples would also be appreciated! Thanks, Erica Erica Heffner, MEd, CCEP Asst. Director Compliance Services University of Vermont [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> p.
