Guidelines for Support for Political Events

The senior administration of the university should be encouraged and supported to represent the university at major political fundraising activities. The following should guide decisions in this regard:
  1. The activity should be upon invitation and restricted to the provincial and federal levels only and involve only the major national/provincial parties.

  2. Only one major activity per year, per party, should be supported and the maximum level of support should not exceed $400 per event.

  3. Representing the university should be the President or designate.

  4. Support should be provided for an accompanying spouse, where appropriate only, as in the instance of a sit-down dinner.

  5. Any tax receipt issued for a university-supported activity is the property of the university.

  6. Direct political donations by the university to any political party are not acceptable.

  7. The Chair of the Board of Governors should be informed of all political activities supported through university funds.

  8. These guidelines are separate from the normal expectations that senior university personnel support local non-profit organizations such as the Symphony, Children’s Aid Society, etc.
