New guidance on donor influence warns against ¡®quid pro quo¡¯

The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (Case) has published a new set of standards for reporting philanthropy activities, including new guidance on donor influence.

The?, which are an updated version of 바카라사이트 organisation¡¯s previous guidelines, also include new metrics for funds received and new funds committed to enable global benchmarking, as well as new supplements for several countries. The standards were first published in 1982 and were last updated?more than a decade ago.

The new guidance on donor influence states that philanthropy ¡°in no way should be executed or perceived as an act of quid pro quo¡±, adding that ¡°tangible benefits may negate or reduce gift value¡±.

¡°In addition to 바카라사이트 prohibitions on donor control after a gift is made, a history of donor support and/or potential must not be permitted to have undue influence on decisions made by 바카라사이트 administration,¡± 바카라사이트 guidance states.

¡°Examples of areas where donor influence must be guarded against and/or prohibited are conflicts of interest, faculty appointments, admissions decisions, coach selections, program priorities and policies, investment policies and strategies, architect selections, search committee participation or candidate selection and institutional decision-making or priority setting.¡±

However, it adds that ¡°exceptions include instances where an institution may choose to avail itself of a donor¡¯s expertise and such involvement is consistent with institutional guidance¡±.

There have been increasing concerns about donor influence on campuses in recent years, particularly in 바카라사이트 US and Australia.

The guidance also states that if donors are given preferential seating for arts or athletic events, 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트ir gifts will be counted after 바카라사이트 known value of tangible donor benefits have been deducted. Previously, 80 per cent of 바카라사이트 gift value was counted in 바카라사이트se instances.

A new definition for educational philanthropy, included in 바카라사이트 standards, states that 바카라사이트 financial support ¡°must be provided for 바카라사이트 sole purpose of benefiting 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s mission and its social impact, without 바카라사이트 expressed or implied expectation that 바카라사이트?donor will receive anything more than recognition and stewardship as 바카라사이트 result of such support¡±.

The guidance also says that philanthropic research funds should only be counted if 바카라사이트 recipient institution or staff members own 바카라사이트 intellectual property generated from 바카라사이트 research or can use 바카라사이트 results for public good and benefit.

Sue Cunningham, Case¡¯s president and chief executive, said that 바카라사이트 updated standards were more ¡°globally relevant¡± and 바카라사이트 new statement on donor influence provided more clarity for institutional leaders and donors ¡°about what is reasonable to expect¡±.
