| A request for advisory opinion, submitted by Christian M. Miltenberger, inquiring as to whether the Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics provides any additional post-employment restrictions related to other institutions in the LSU System. |
|
Christian M. Miltenberger was employed at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans ("LSUHSC") until January 10, 2020. He subsequently accepted employment with Varonis Systems as a Sales Engineer for Louisiana. Varonis Systems is a software vendor of which LSUHSC is a customer. During the hiring process, he informed Varonis Systems of the post-employment restrictions set forth in La. R.S. 42:1121(B). As a result, Varonis Systems assigned another Sales Engineer to the LSUHSC account.
While he does not handle the account for LSUHSC, another institution in the LSU System is a prospective client. As a result, he is requesting an advisory opinion as to whether he would be prohibited from working on the account for another LSU system institution.
