This administrative memorandum applies to all positions, full and part-time, regular and temporary, in all component university programs, regardless of funding source. Relatives of members of the Board of Regents or the Chancellor shall not be employed by the University of Houston System unless the employment took place at least one year prior to the appointment of the Board member or the Chancellor. Relatives of other University of Houston System employees shall not be employed by the System in positions where the employee has the official authority to hire or recommend or approve the hiring, salary or promotions of the relative. Relatives shall not be employed in the supervisory-subordinate relationship even if it results from marriage after the employment relationship was formed. The supervisor-subordinate relationship shall be interpreted to include all levels of line administrative supervisors, from the lowest to the highest, not just the immediate supervisor.
Nepotism is defined as favoritism shown to a relative by employment on the basis of relationship.
