The Higher Education Opportunity Act of August 14, 2008 includes provisions that campuses participating in Title IV programs publish a code of conduct which describes prohibited practices related to Title IV loan programs.   Prior to this, the CSU coded memorandum “Student Loan Programs – Administrative Safeguards” (AA-2007-12) dated May 3, 2007 has been the standard campuses have followed. 

Conflict of Interest

To avoid any conflict of interest with the responsibilities of a CSU employee with respect to student loans, the CSU code of conduct prohibits the following:

• Revenue sharing arrangements with any lender
• The solicitation or acceptance of gifts from a lender, guarantor or servicer by anyone with responsibilities with respect to loans at the institution
• Receipt of any fees, payments or other financial benefits (including a stock purchase option) by anyone with responsibilities with respect to loans from a lender as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or contract to provide services to a lender or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans
• The assignment of a first-time borrower’s loan to a particular lender or  refusing to certify or otherwise delay certification of any loan regardless of the lender or guaranty agency the borrower selects
• The acceptance of any funds to be used for private education loans in exchange for the institution providing concessions to the private lender
• Requesting or accepting assistance with call center staffing or financial aid office staffing from any lender
• Any employee with responsibilities with respect to financial assistance at the institution who serves on an advisory board or commission of a lender or guarantor may not accept anything of value from the lender or guarantor except reimbursement for the reasonable expenses of serving on the board or commission.
