As civic discourse across the political spectrum increases, J. Michael Haynie, vice chancellor of strategic initiatives and innovations, has reminded Syracuse University employees about relevant laws, regulations and University policies affecting how the University and its employees engage in political discourse and interact with government officials and political candidates.
Vice Chancellor Haynie’s memo was sent to all University deans, directors and department heads, who in turn, were asked to share with their respective faculty and staff. The memo outlines all relevant policies, ethics laws and regulations that affect how the University may interact with public officials at all levels of government.
