Purchasing...
Southern Oregon University employees are expected to hold themselves to ethical values and principles which protect the public trust, avoiding acts which place personal interests above public interest.
Selection of vendors should be an impartial and objective process. Gifts from vendors should not be accepted.
Authorized personnel are responsible for ensuring that the proper procedures are followed for all purchases. Southern Oregon University may take appropriate action in response to unauthorized expenditures. Such actions include, but are not limited to, providing additional guidance, imposing disciplinary measures, and holding individuals personally liable.
