The basic criteria for the appointment and promotion of employees of Georgia Highlands College shall be appropriate qualifications and performance. Relationship by a family or marriage shall constitute neither an advantage nor a disadvantage. No person shall be employed in a position which will result in the existence of a subordinate-superior relationship between such individual and any relative from the extended family of such individual through any line of authority. This policy ensures a fair and measured approach to employment of relatives and avoids the conflicts that can arise from nepotism.

The Employees of Relatives (Nepotism) Policy may be reviewed in its entirety via the attachment below.
