Holiday Expenditure Guidance

December 5, 2024

As we approach the end of the calendar year, we begin to get questions about what is or is not allowable as it relates to holiday expenditures. As a public institution, 91探花 is expected and committed to the responsible use of public funds and as such is providing the following guidance:

GIFTS: Holiday gifts for employees or students cannot be purchased with University or Foundation funds.

PARTIES: Holiday parties cannot be paid for with University or Foundation funds.

DECORATIONS: Decorations cannot be purchased with University or Foundation funds.

CARDS: The use of e-cards is encouraged to promote the University鈥檚 sustainability efforts as well as reduce costs. University funds cannot be used to purchase holiday cards. Foundation funds can be used only if the cards are being sent to individuals or entities external to 91探花, who have a business relationship to the University (including donors and prospective donors). Departments should coordinate plans to send cards with University Advancement so that these efforts are aligned with ongoing development activities.
