    University personnel are not permitted to accept money, goods, services, entertainment, or any form of gratuity either directly or indirectly from any individual or company interested in business or financial relations with the University. The University does not permit personal, mail, or e-mail solicitations or requests for contributions for charitable or other purposes, including the sales of chances, lottery and raffle tickets, magazines, Christmas cards, and similar items.
