SAM 03.A.17 - Disclosure of Related Party Interests |
Section 3.2 of SAM 03.A.17 was revised to align the policy with current reporting practices. All faculty and exempt staff as well as non-exempt staff with purchasing responsibilities are required to annually complete a disclosure statement regarding related party interests. These changes were proposed by the Office of Finance. |
3.3 and 3.4 - The term "chairman" should be changed to

SAM 03.D.04 - Check Distribution |
SAM 03.D.04 was updated to comply with changes to SAM 03.D.07. Paychecks may be printed for the first and possibly second paydays. Section 2.1 requires checks to be available for pick up on payday. Component university check distribution addresses were updated in Section 2.2. Section 2.3 was updated to allow individual employees to pick their paychecks directly from the
distribution office upon presentation of proper ID. Previously only designated department representatives
were allowed to pick up checks. Section 3.3 was also adjusted, as Payroll processes stale-dated checks. These changes were proposed by Treasury. |
2.2 and 2.3 - These sections seem contradictory. Specify that Section 2.3 applies to UH and UHS only.
Response: Changes applied.
2.3 - Section too
specific to UH campus,
recommend deletion from SAM
and addition to MAPP.
Response: Items 2.2.a through 2.2.e deal with other components, so including UH is appropriate.
2.0 - Add the following section: "Each component university will establish procedures for distribution of checks to employees of that component.”
Response: Changes applied. |

SAM 03.E.02 - Property Management |
A statement was added to Section 3.4 of SAM 03.E.02 to require coordination between the disposing department and IT to ensure the appropriate disposal of data processing equipment that is
not capitalized or controlled. These changes were proposed by the Office of Finance. |
3.4. - Include data storage devices in the last sentence.
Response: Changes applied. |

SAM 05.B.01 - Principles Guiding the Operation of Intercollegiate Athletics |
The guiding principles were updated to reflect those of the Second Century Imperatives on Intercollegiate Athletics created by the NCAA Presidential Task Force. Section 2.1.e was also edited to assign responsibility of judgment for the admission of student-athletes to an academic review panel. Section 2.2.f was edited to remove the statement that students who cannot demonstrate that they will graduate in 5 years will not play. These changes were proposed by the Athletics Department. |
