Boise State University understands the need to recognize and encourage the dedication, support, and participation of its employees and friends of the institution in carrying out the university’s mission. Gifts, Awards, and Prizes may be used to support that mission but must be reasonable in price and comply with funding source restrictions. Gifts, Awards, and Prizes may not be provided in lieu of payment for services or as a quid pro quo. Certain Gifts, Awards, and Prizes have tax implications for the recipient with a corresponding reporting requirement for the university. Any SAEM employee wishing to purchase a Gift, Award, or Prize must obtain pre-authorization approval from the Vice President's Office. For additional information, please review Policy 6230 and the Gift Matrix.
