St.
Bonaventure University welcomes the hiring of qualified individuals who are
related to other employees at the University. A supervisor, however, is not
permitted to hire or to evaluate his or her own spouse, children, relatives, or
any other individual with whom he or she has a significant personal
relationship. In cases where there is a supervisory role between
relatives or people in a significant personal relationship, it is required that
the participants in such a relationship act immediately to remove the conflict
of interest. In addition, the person in the more powerful position in such a
relationship is required to report it to her/his supervisor in consultation with
the Director of Human Resources. With such knowledge, accountability for
ensuring that such conflicts of interest are properly addressed will rest with
the person’s direct supervisor in conjunction with the Director of Human
Resources through the normal chains of command up to and including the
appropriate executive officer.
