UNLV Nepotism Policy

It is the policy of UNLV that no university employee may hire or cause to be hired, nor supervise, any relative of the employee otherwise employed by the university within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity, except with the prior approval of the president. In enforcing this policy it is important to keep in mind that any appearance of impropriety should be avoided. Therefore, the source of the funding to pay a newly hired employee should not serve as a basis to waive the restrictions of this policy. All questions concerning the hiring of any individual who may be related to another university employee should be referred to the human resources office at 702-895-3504.
