GENERAL STATEMENT
In order to avoid a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of
interest, at no time should an employee solicit or accept gifts from a vendor or
contractor or from a potential vendor or contractor except as described below.
Unsolicited personal gifts valued at $25.00 or more cannot be accepted by
LCOOCC employees, and should be returned immediately to the donor. If the value
of the gift is undetermined it should be returned. Ordinary business courtesies,
such as payment for a modest lunch or dinner, are acceptable provided it does
not exceed the value listed above. Gifts which are promotional items without
significant value, and which are distributed routinely by the vendor to clients,
are also acceptable.
Gratuities or gifts of money to the employee cannot be accepted at any
time and should be returned immediately to the donor.
Employees who have questions regarding this policy or who are uncertain
as to whether a conflict acceptance of a specific or gratuity should confer, in
writing, with their supervisor to determine an appropriate course of action.
All employees are subject to this policy and are expected to comply fully
and promptly with it. Instances of deliberate breach of policy, or failure to
comply with the policy, will be reported to the college president for
appropriate action.
