Family Members and Related Parties may be employed by the Research Foundation. However, to avoid an actual, perceived, or apparent conflict of interest, no employee may initiate or participate in, directly or indirectly, decisions involving a direct benefit, e.g., initial employment or rehire, promotion, salary, performance appraisals, work assignments or other working conditions to Family Members or Related Parties."
