Can a University employee purchase a software package on which any employee receives royalties or other income?
An employee cannot make the decision to purchase a product for the University with University funds if the employee could personally benefit from that purchase. If a university employee seeks to purchase a product in which another university employee could personally benefit, a number of processes must be completed to assure compliance with the conflicts in purchasing policies. In some cases, the Board of Regents must approve the purchase. Before proceeding with any such purchase, you should contact the Director of Purchasing (335-3815).
