What happens if someone chooses not to follow the policy?
Individuals representing MSU Extension and Michigan 4-H Youth Development Programs are expected to follow all of the policies and procedures of the organization. Staff or volunteers who intentionally decide to not follow policies, such as the Youth-Adult Housing Policy for 4-H Overnight Events, are not covered by MSU liability coverage and are at risk for dismissal from their position within the organization. Activities coordinated by 4-H staff and volunteers as a part of their roles are considered “4-H events” whether the events are labeled that way or not. If staff and/or volunteers organize and coordinate an event that requires lodging and do not follow the Youth-Adult Housing Policy for 4-H Overnight Events, they will not be covered by MSU liability insurance and will be dismissed from their position within the organization.
