Clarke <br /> June 25, 2019 <br /> Page 2 <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded,and instructed me to inform you,that the Code of Governmental Ethics would <br /> not prohibit the continued employment of your daughter with the University of Louisiana at <br /> Lafayette if you are appointed to the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System <br /> since she has been employed for at least one(1)year prior to you becoming an agency head by virtue <br /> of your appointment to the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System. However, <br /> the Board directed the staff to advise you that you would be prohibited from participating as a <br /> member of the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System in any transactions in <br /> which your daughter has a substantial economic interest. La. R.S. 42:1120.4 allows you to recuse <br /> yourself from the vote, discussion and debate of any matter in which your daughter may have a <br /> substantial economic interest to avoid a violation of La. R.S. 42:1112B(1). <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts as <br /> presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The Board <br /> issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the Code of Governmental Ethics.
