[SADivision 0427] Holiday Reminder – Acceptance of Gifts
by Irving R Uribe 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

[cid:image001.jpg@01D6C1CB.B21A53C0] Office of the General Counsel & Sr. Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs 205 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10017 tel: 646-664-9200 fax: 646-664-2964 TO: All Employees and Faculty of the City University of New York ("CUNY") FROM: Derek Davis General Counsel and Senior Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs DATE: November 23, 2020 SUBJECT: Holiday Reminder – Acceptance of Gifts Please be reminded that CUNY’s Conflicts of Interest Policy<https://maestro.cuny.edu/trk/click?ref=zqtbwp23f_2-1fb2x37b2fx045868&> and the New York State Public Officers Law prohibit the acceptance of gifts of more than nominal value from interested sources. Accordingly, as a CUNY employee you may not solicit or accept such gifts, either directly or indirectly, from any interested source, regardless of whether the gift was intended to influence or reward you. For purposes of this memorandum, interested sources include vendors, students, parents, and publishers. Interested sources are persons and business entities with which CUNY or its constituent Colleges are doing business, and also those persons and business entities interested in doing business with CUNY or its constituent Colleges. Interested sources even include those persons and business entities that have a history of doing business with CUNY or any of its constituent Colleges in the recent past. The New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) excludes from the definition of “gift” any food or beverage worth $15 or less, and any promotional items with no resale value such as calendars or pens. This exclusion has no restriction on place, purpose or source. Any perishable gifts worth more than $15, such as fruit baskets or other food, must be either returned to the sender, donated to charity, or placed in a common area of the office. Non-perishable gifts must be returned to the sender. Holiday parties hosted by interested sources may not be attended without prior approval from your ethics officer. For more information, please see JCOPE’s “’Tis the Season to Remember the Ethics Rules for Gifts,”available at: jcope.ny.gov/sites/g/files/oee746/files/documents/2017/10/tis-season-rememb… <https://maestro.cuny.edu/trk/click?ref=zqtbwp23f_2-1fb2x37b22x045868&> Additionally, CUNY’s Conflicts of Interest Policy and the New York State Public Officers Law also prohibit gifts from CUNY subordinates to CUNY supervisors (this term includes managers, directors, deans, and all executive staff titles). Such gifts from subordinates may give an appearance of impropriety or give the impression that someone may improperly influence a decision-maker. There is no prohibition on supervisors giving modest gifts to their subordinates as tokens of their appreciation. The CUNY policy and state law regarding gifts apply to all CUNY employees, including faculty. For more information please see our website: www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/legal-affairs/ethics/#gifts<https://maestro.cuny.edu/trk/click?ref=zqtbwp23f_2-1fb2x37b30x045868&> If you have any questions regarding CUNY’s and JCOPE’s interpretation of the law, I encourage you to ask before you act. Please contact your Campus Ethics Officer: www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/legal-affairs/ethics/college-ethi…<https://maestro.cuny.edu/trk/click?ref=zqtbwp23f_2-1fb2x37b24x045868&> If you receive a non-perishable gift, please send it back to the person/entity along with the sample letter (www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/legal-affairs/ethics/no-gifts-sam…<https://maestro.cuny.edu/trk/click?ref=zqtbwp23f_2-1fb2x37b31x045868&>).
