No relative of any member of the board of trustees, the president or a vice president shall be employed. Any such employment or recommendation for employment in violation of this policy as stated shall be null and void.

For purposes of this policy, "immediate family" shall be interpreted to mean the spouse, child, father, father-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, grandparent, sister, brother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or any other person who occupies such position in the family, or a person living in the same household.

This policy shall apply equally to all full-time, part-time and/or temporary employees.
