(Note: OLPM sections on this page may be cited following the format of, for example, "USA.III.G.1". These policies may be amended at any time, do not constitute an employment contract, and are provided here only for ease of reference and without any warranty of accuracy. See for details.)
1. Purpose
The 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 System Office is committed to providing a safe and secure working environment for employees and visitors. 听To support this commitment to safety, the use or possession of any firearms, other dangerous weapons that could be used to inflict injury, or explosives is absolutely prohibited on any property owned, controlled, or operated by the System Office.

Any person violating this policy shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary and/or legal action as appropriate under applicable federal, state, and local laws and the policies and procedures of 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 and the System Office.
3. Exception
On duty law enforcement officers authorized to carry weapons are exempted from the prohibition established in this policy.
G. Procedures Regarding Access to Public Records
(Note: OLPM sections on this page may be cited following the format of, for example, "USA.III.G.1". These policies may be amended at any time, do not constitute an employment contract, and are provided here only for ease of reference and without any warranty of accuracy. See OLPM Main Menu for details.)
1.听听听This procedure shall apply to all requests for access to public records received by the administrative offices of the 最快开奖直播搅珠结果.
2.听听听Requests for access to 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 public records should be made in writing and should include a specific description of the desired documents. All steps taken to comply with such requests should be documented in writing and should include a specific description of the documents that were made available.
3.听听听Public documents requested under the Right-to-Know Law must be made available within a reasonable time. That reasonable time is determined with respect to the circumstances of the particular request. The greater the administrative time and effort required to comply with a request, the greater the time that will be considered "reasonable." In the event a reply will take longer than a few days, a letter should be sent acknowledging receipt of the request and estimating when a substantive reply will be available.
4.听听听The Right-to-Know Law does not specify a particular method by which access to public records must be allowed. Access will ordinarily be afforded by providing photocopies of the requested materials. In some instances alternate methods -- such as allowing personal review of a particularly voluminous file -- may be more appropriate.
5.听听听A public agency may charge a fee for providing access to its public records. That fee should be calculated to cover the variable costs incurred by the agency in providing access to the records. The basic fee for producing photocopies of 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 records shall be $.10 per page. Other variable costs incurred, e.g. personnel salary and benefits, may be charged in appropriate cases.
6.听听听While 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 has an obligation to provide the public with reasonable access to its public records, the System must also respect the privacy interests of persons who are the subject of confidential, or otherwise exempted, information contained in those records. A 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 record must be reviewed in its entirety before it is released in order to ensure that no confidential or otherwise exempted information is included.
7.听听听Other types of records exempted from the public access requirement include personnel records, student records, internal memoranda and draft reports, privileged documents (e.g. lawyer-client communication), records pertaining to litigation, collective bargaining, real estate negotiations, and records containing certain types of confidential commercial or financial information.
8.听听听It is possible that only a portion of the information contained in a 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 record will be subject to public access under the Right-to-Know Law. In such cases 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 must make a reasonable effort to provide access to the public portions of the record. For instance, a redacted photocopy of the document may be provided.
9.听听听The legislature has provided for private enforcement of the Right-to-Know law by suit in the Superior Courts. Plaintiffs are entitled to an expeditious hearing and, if successful, reimbursement for their attorneys' fees and costs. The General Counsel should be consulted whenever questions arise as to the appropriate response to a request for 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 records.
10.听听听This procedure shall be effective immediately and shall continue in force until otherwise amended or repealed.

I. System Office Guidelines on the Acceptance of Gifts
(Note: OLPM sections on this page may be cited following the format of, for example, "USA.III.G.1". These policies may be amended at any time, do not constitute an employment contract, and are provided here only for ease of reference and without any warranty of accuracy. See for details.)
The 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 policy on conflict of interest () does not directly address the question of whether a 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 employee can accept a gift (including, e.g., travel expenses, meals, entertainment opportunities, etc.) from a current or potential 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 business partner. 听Even so, as a matter of practice 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 employees, and in particular employees at the executive level or with relevant decision-making authority, generally are very careful to avoid accepting anything that might be considered a personal gift from a vendor. 听In addition, it is always important to consider the perceptions of a skeptical media outlet, state legislator, or citizen.
One useful decision-making exercise is to develop the bullet points to be used by our media relations people to defend the decision in the court of public opinion. 听It is also important that before implementing the decision you alert anyone who would have to support the decision in the event it is challenged 鈥 likely that will include both the department head and the Chancellor. 听And, if there is a potential for controversy, it is a good idea to document the decision and supporting rationale before you implement the decision. 听To state the obvious, we work in highly-visible positions of public trust and any perceived breach of our duties as stewards of the public good will harm our relationships with key constituents including the campuses, the Board of Trustees, student and their parents, and the legislature.
Some key factors to include in the analysis:
- The value to 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 of participating in the opportunity;
- The total cost of the opportunity;
- The extent to which the opportunity is beneficial to 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 versus a personally interesting/valuable experience;
- The extent to which the opportunity may raise, or be seen as raising, the cost of services to students or employees (e.g., the offer of an affinity credit card that provides payments to the institution based on usage);
- The public perception of the opportunity: 听the extravagance, the location(s), the expense, the activities (i.e., the 鈥渂oondoggle-appearance鈥 test);
- The 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 employee鈥檚 role relative to the engagement of the vendor and/or the management of the vendor relationship (i.e., will the public perceive the opportunity as potentially influencing your judgment?); and
- If the opportunity is valuable to 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 and reasonably priced, why shouldn鈥檛 最快开奖直播搅珠结果 pay for your participation and eliminate and question or appearance of conflict or impropriety?
