Policy Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the University of Southern California (“USC”) complies with applicable laws when hosting site visits and events with Government Officials and Political Candidates. USC does not endorse Political Candidates, contribute to their campaigns, or otherwise permit the use of USC resources to support or oppose candidates or political parties. Faculty and staff should also consult the Conflicts of Interest and Commitment Policy when contemplating political activities or gifts to Government Officials to ensure the engagement does not create, or appear to create, a conflict of interest.
