| Advisory opinion request regarding whether Jeffery Lee, as the sole owner of French Quarter IT, LLC, may provide software development services for a "Training Treatment Database" to LSU Athletics. |
|
Jeffery Lee resigned his position as a computer manager with Auxiliary Services (AS) at Louisiana State University (LSU) on January 31, 2015. His job duties while employed with AS included creating and maintain databases and applications, creating and updating new and existing interfaces/programs between AS systems and other campus information systems, and assisting with vendor-based point of sale equipment and software in use by the LSU Dining, LSU Concessions, Dairy Store, Student Health Center, and Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
He would like to pursue assisting LSU Athletics with its Training Treatment Database. This project would not replace, replicate, or utilize any system or service provided by LSU AS. LSU Athletics is a separate agency from AS. According to Mr. Lee, AS does not provide or intend to provide software development service to LSU Athletics. Mr. Lee's software development responsibilities were directly associated with the LSU One Card program and departments within LSU Auxiliary Services.
