Purdue University
    
    Sansele de angajare in cadrul Universitatii nu sunt si nu trebuie sa fie pe baza de ori influentate de catre relatiile de rudenie. Conform reglementarilor adoptate in 1995 de catre Adunarea Generala, statutul nu mai interzice angajarea persoanelor aflate in relatii [de rudenie] cu Presedintele Universitatii ori cu oricare din membrii Consiliului de Administratie. Universitatea va continua sa mentina insa politicile desemnate sa descurajeze acele angajari in urma carora situatii precum nepotismul ori acuzatiile de nepotism ar putea aparea, cu exceptia unor cazuri prevazute [conform statutului].
    
    Politica si procedurile anti-nepotism
    
    1. Politica Universitatii [Purdue] este aceea ca nici o persoana nu poate fi angajat al Universitatii pe nici un post, daca acel post pune acea persoana sub supervizarea administrativa unui alt angajat care ii este persoanei in cauza: tata, mama, frate, sora, unchi, matusa, sot, sotie, nepot, nepoata, bunic/a, ori se inrudeste cu acesata prin alianta. Exceptiile de la aceasta prevedere trebuie a fi aprobate pe baza argumentului ca o asemenea angajare este spre beneficiul Universitatii ori serveste unui scop corespunzator menirii Universitatii.
    
    2. Pentru punerea in aplicare a hotararii de mai sus, o persoana este considerata a fi sub supervizarea administrativa a conducatorului sau imediat ori a celor situati pe nivele ierarhice superioare, conform organigramei departamentului sau ariei de angajare. De exeplu, un membru al unei facultati este considerat a fi subordonat sefului de departament in care respectivul este angajat, si de asemenea subordonat decanului facultatii de care tine departamentul respectiv, Cancelarului (cu privire la campusurile regionale), Vice-presedintelui executiv pentru relatii academice, Presedintelui Universitatii, Consiliului de Administratie.
    
    3. Oricand un sef de departament propune, ca o exceptie de la politica [anti-nepotism] a Universitatii, angajarea unei persoane ori prelungirea contractului de angajare a unei persoane pe o pozitie in care aceasta va fi sub supervizarea administrativa a cuiva cu care se afla intr-o relatie de rudenie (specificata in paragraful 1), acel supervizor va trebui sa faca o cerere scrisa pentru fiecare numire/repartitie ori prelungire [de contract]. Aceasta cerere va trebui sa fie inaintata urmatorului supervizor direct al sau pentru a fi analizata si apoi inaintata la nivelul imediat superior, pana va ajunge la Presedintele Universitatii, pentru luarea unei decizii potrivite. Pentru stabilirea salariilor, deciderea promovarilor etc. sunt necesare proceduri alternative.
    
    4. Situatiile in care sunt implicati vice-presedintii executivi, cancelarii, vice-presedintii, vice-cancelarii ori decanii trebuie sa fie analizate si aprobate de Consiliul de Administratie pe recomandarea data de Presedinte. Presedintele va trebui sa revada anual fiecare cerere, aprobata de Consiliul de Administratie, in care sunt implicati membri ai conducerii Universitatii. Daca circumstantele sub care a fost aprobata o cerere s-au schimbat in mod esential, va trimite o noua recomandare Consiliului de Administratie.
    
    De asemenea situatiile de subordonare/supervizare administrativa a unor angajati, in care sunt implicate relatii de rudenie intre acesti angajati, vor fi revazute anual de catre Presedinte.
    
    5. Situatiile in care este implicat Presedintele [Universitatii] ori oricare dintre membrii Consiliului de Administratie trebuie vazute si aprobate de catre Consiliul de Administratie.
    
    6. Acest memorandum se aplica tuturor angajatilor prezenti si viitori ai Universitatii Purdue. Reglementarile enuntate raman in vigoare in circumstantele descrise.

    Employment opportunities within the University are not and should not be based upon or influenced by family relationships. Through action of the 1995 General Assembly, statutes no longer prohibit employment of any person related to the President of the University or any member of the Board of Trustees. The University will continue to maintain policies designed to guard against employment relationships from which nepotism or charges of nepotism might arise but with provisions for reasonable exceptions.
    Anti-Nepotism Policy and Procedures:
    1. It is the policy of Purdue University that no person be employed or continued in employment by the University in any position which places such person under the administrative supervision of another employee to whom such person is related as father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, husband, wife, son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandparents, or such persons related by marriage. Exceptions may be approved for such employment which would be for the benefit of the University, or serve a useful purpose consistent with the mission of the University.
    2. For purposes of this policy, a person is considered to be under the administrative supervision of his or her immediate supervisor and also of supervisors at higher levels within the organizational lines of the particular department or areas of employment. For example, a faculty member is deemed to be under the supervision of the head of the department in which such faculty member is employed, and also under the supervision of the dean of the school to which the department belongs, the Chancellor (with regard to Regional Campuses), the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, the President of the University, and the Board of Trustees.
    3. Whenever a department head proposes, as an exception to the University policy, to employ a person, or to continue the employment of a person, in a position where he or she is or would be under the administrative supervision of anyone to whom he or she is related in any manner specified in paragraph 1, such supervisor shall prepare a written request for approval of each appointment or continuation. This request shall be submitted to his or her immediate supervisor for review and recommendation, through each higher supervisory level, to the President of the University for appropriate action. Exceptions will only be permitted where there are unique circumstances and there is an advantage to the University or a useful purpose served which is consistent with the mission of the University. Alternative procedures for setting salaries, determining promotions, etc., will be required.
    4. Situations involving Executive Vice Presidents, Chancellors, Vice Presidents, Vice Chancellors or Deans must be approved by the Board of Trustees upon recommendation by the President. The President shall review annually each request involving officers of the University that have been approved by the Board of Trustees. If the circumstances under which the approval was granted have materially changed, he will report the matter with his recommendation to the Board of Trustees.
    In addition, nepotism situations originally approved by the President will be reviewed annually by the President.
    5. Situations involving the President or any member of the Board of Trustees must be approved by the Board of Trustees.
    6. This memorandum applies to all present and future employees of Purdue University. Existing approvals remain valid unless
    
    circumstances change.
