The College shall not employ an individual who is related to a member of the Board by blood (consanguinity) within the third degree, or by marriage (affinity) within the second degree, or who is living in the same household as the Board Member.

A College employee shall not directly or indirectly supervise any employee to whom he/she is related within the third degree of consanguinity or second degree of affinity, or who is living in the same household. An applicant, whether internal or external, shall not be hired by the College in any full-time, part-time, or temporary position or as an independent contractor when the applicant would directly or indirectly be supervised by, or be supervisory to, a current College employee who is related to the applicant within the third degree of consanguinity or second degree of affinity, or who is living in the same household as the applicant.

For the purpose of this policy, “direct or indirect” supervision exists between two employees when one employee would, under an existing policy or procedure, be required to approve an employee action, participate in an employee evaluation, or would otherwise have authority over the terms or conditions of employment of the other.
