RE:
Request for an advisory opinion from Jan Janz, a member of the Board of Directors for Edward Hynes Charter School in New Orleans (pop. 343,829) relative to whether she can nominate the principal of Hynes Charter School for a UNO-25 award.
Facts:
Janice Janz is a retired employee of the University of New Orleans and serves on the Board of Directors for Edward Hynes Charter School in New Orleans. Michelle Douglas is the Principal at Edward Hynes Charter School and is an alumnus of the University of New Orleans. Ms. Janz would like to nominate Michelle Douglas for a UNO 25 award.

The UNO 25 award identifies, recognizes and celebrates 25 high-impact UNO-owned or UNO-led businesses by highlighting these business people and encouraging them to share their stories with fellow UNO alumni.


Comments:
There are no ethics statutes which would prohibit Dr. Janz from nominating Michelle Douglas for recognition with UNO 25. Michelle Douglas is not an immediate family member of Dr. Janz and would not receive any economic benefit from the inclusion of her in UNO 25. UNO 25 is not regulated by Edward Hynes Charter School, nor does it appear that UNO is a prohibited source relative to Edward Hynes Charter School.
Law:
None applicable.
Recommendations:
Grant the request to withdraw the advisory opinion request.
Assigned Attorney: Greg Thibodeaux
