The Board of Regents recognizes the need for and
encourages private support of Eastern Michigan University.
It authorizes an Office of Development for the purpose
of developing programs to secure private funds for
meeting University objectives. These objectives
may be funded in part or totally by private contributions.
The Office of Development also will be responsible
for coordinating all private fund-raising programs
on behalf of Eastern Michigan University.
All private gifts to Eastern Michigan University
are received through the Office of Development and
are accepted subject to approval by the Board of
Regents.
The solicitation of private funds or property for
the benefit of the University or any agency thereof
shall be undertaken only pursuant to established
administrative procedures.
