University of Colorado regents asked voters Thursday not to support state constitutional Amendment 41, which is intended to prevent state employees from using their position in public office to make money unethically.
The amendment is so broad and vague that it could prohibit university faculty and staff from exchanging gifts or forgiving loans privately among family members, according to a resolution passed unanimously by regents.
It also could prevent state employees from receiving scholarships for their children and might “authorize significant and unjustified state intrusion into the private lives” of faculty and staff, the resolution said.
The amendment is on the Nov. 7 ballot.
