APPROVAL OF REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS AND SUPERVISORY STRUCTURE FOR_. DUAL EMPLOYMENT SITUATION

The following resolution was adopted:

  • WHEREAS the Virginia Conflict of Interest Act permits the dual employment of immediate family members by public institutions of higher education that would otherwise be prohibited by the Act, subject to the following conditions:
    i) the officer or employee and the immediate family member are engaged in teaching, research, or administrative support positions at the educational institution, (ii) the governing board of the educational institution finds that it is in the best interest of the institution and the Commonwealth for such dual employment to exist, and (iii) after such finding, the board establishes and oversees the implementation of reporting relationships and a supervisory structure to ensure that the officer or employee, or the immediate family member, does not supervise, evaluate or otherwise participate in personnel decisions regarding the other;
  • WHEREAS, Phyllis Leffler and Melvyn Leffler, who are married to each other, are both faculty members in the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences;
  • WHEREAS, Phyllis Leffler is a faculty member in the History Department in the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, of which Melvyn Leffler is the Dean;
  • RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors finds it in the best interest of the University of Virginia and the Commonwealth to employ Phyllis Leffler and Melvyn Leffler in their positions as members of the faculty in the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and as a faculty member in the History Department and as Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences respectively;
  • RESOLVED further that the reporting relationship and supervisory structure shall be as follows: (a) in Phyllis Leffler's capacity as a member of the History Department in the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, she reports directly to and is supervised by Barbara Nolan, the Vice Provost for Instructional Development and Innovation, not to the Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; and (b) regarding Melvyn Leffler's position as Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, there is no reporting or supervisory relationship between Phyllis Leffler and Melvyn Leffler.
