    PROCEDURES

    1. Affiliated Organizations Section 2255.001 of the Texas Government Code requires a state agency (including an institution of higher education) that is authorized by statute to accept money from private donors, or for which a private organization exists that is designed to further the purposes and duties of the agency, to adopt rules governing the relationship between the donor or affiliated organization and the agency and its employees.
      1. Existing Affiliated Organizations A list of approved affiliated organizations shall be maintained at all times by the Associate Vice President for Financial Affairs. These organizations are accountable to the University and subject to periodic review and monitoring for compliance with the terms and conditions of the memorandum of understanding.
      2. Establishing New Affiliated Organizations Prior to authorizing the establishment of an affiliated organization and execution of a memorandum of understanding, the Vice President for Business Affairs (VPBA) must determine the necessity, purpose, cost-benefit, institutional liability and relationship between the proposed affiliated organization and the university. In the event a proposed affiliated organization indicates it intends to do private fundraising for its activities and programs or for the university, the Vice President for External Relations (VPER) shall review such proposal and give a recommendation for or against approval to the VPBA. All affiliated organizations shall be approved by the president and shall not be authorized by the university to undertake programs or activities that are not properly part of the university's mission.
      3. Memorandum of Understanding Each affiliated organization is required to have a fully executed memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the affiliated organization and the university. The MOU will be reviewed by the VPBA and the VPER prior to the approval of the President. The MOU must clearly describe all aspects of the relationship between the affiliated organization and the university, including but not limited to the following: identifying the organization's mission and role, delineating when and how the organization may use the university's name, marks or other resources, and establishing ways for the organization to remain accountable to the university.
