Any fund raising activity on behalf of USC Sumter must have the
prior approval of the Dean. Sumter and its surrounding counties are small,
close-knit communities, and any attempt at independent action in this area
could prejudice a fund raising activity already in progress. This coordinating
approval authority is delegated by the Dean to the Assistant Dean for University
Advancement.
Individuals and organizations which are officially recognized by or affiliated
with USC Sumter, including student organizations, may conduct on-campus
and off-campus fund raising activities or projects that involve persons
other than USC Sumter students and employees (i.e., direct solicitations,
contributions of prizes, bake sales, car washes, etc.), for the benefit
of their organization or activity after obtaining coordinating approval
from the Assistant Dean for University Advancement. Within two weeks (14
days) of the conclusion of the fund-raising project or activity, a complete
itemized listing of all donors with names, addresses, and specific descriptions
of what goods, services, and/or amounts were donated must be provided to
the Assistant Dean for University Advancement.
Consistent with USC Policy HR 1.48, fund raising activities on behalf
of non-USC Sumter groups or organizations may occur during "working
time" if they are University sponsored (i.e., United Way or Good Health
Appeal), and are coordinated by the Assistant Dean for University Advancement.
However, fund raising activities on behalf of non-USC Sumter groups or organizations
which are not sponsored by the University cannot use University supplies
or equipment (including e-mail) and cannot occur on University property
during "working time." "Working time is the time an employee
is expected to be engaged in the official duties of the position."
