Rule 60101: Acceptance
and Administration of Gifts
Sec. 1 Authority to Accept Gifts and Develop
Acceptance Procedures.
The authority to accept gifts to The University of Texas
System or to any of the institutions is vested in the Board of
Regents and delegated by the Board as specifically set out
in this Rule. Except as provided in this Rule or any other
Rule in the Regentsʼ Rules and Regulations, or approved
institutional policies, no member of the staff of any institution
has the authority to accept gifts.
Sec. 2 U. T. System Gift Acceptance Procedures.
The Board delegates to the Vice Chancellor for External
Relations the authority and responsibility to promulgate a set
of guidelines regarding the acceptance, processing,
investment, and administration of gifts. These guidelines,
known as The University of Texas System Administration
Policy UTS138, Gift Acceptance Procedures [1], shall be
adhered to by the U. T. System and the institutions. In
promulgating the U. T. System Gift Acceptance Procedures
[1], the delegate shall also consider provisions to:
2.1
111
accomplish the goal of increasing financial support for the
U. T. System through the appropriate assistance of donors,
2.2
allow staff members to respond to donor initiatives quickly
and with certainty,
2.3
establish administrative processes to accept and administer
gifts in a prudent and efficient manner, with fiduciary
responsibilities of fundamental importance,
2.4
comply with the Texas Constitution and applicable federal
and State law,
2.5
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code [2]
and related regulations,
2.6
specifically incorporate provisions related to the acceptance
of pledges for current purpose commitments to fund
endowments, and in conjunction with a gift-related naming of
a facility or program as follows:
(a) for gifts and pledges to name a facility or program, a U. T.
System approved gift agreement, which includes defined
pledge payment terms, must be in place,
(b) prior to the creation of an endowment, at least 20% of the
donors' total required minimum funding must be received
and a U. T. System approved gift agreement, which contains
defined pledge payment terms, must be in place, and
(c) the pledge payment duration for either endowed or non-
endowed gifts shall not exceed five years. However, with the
written approval of the Vice Chancellor for External
Relations, the pledge period may be longer than five years
under special circumstances, and
2.7
provide that, in the interest of financial responsibility and
112
efficiency, it is the specific preference of the Board that all
endowment gifts be eligible for commingling for investment
purposes with other endowment funds.
Sec. 3 Board Approval of Nonconforming Gifts.
Recommendations regarding the acceptance of gifts or other
actions that do not conform to all relevant policies, including
but not limited to the U. T. System Gift Acceptance
Procedures [1], shall be made through the Vice Chancellor for
External Relations to the Board of Regents after review
by appropriate offices of the terms of the gifts, the nature of
the donated assets, and/or the requested action.
Sec. 4 Gifts of Art
4.1 Outdoor Works of Art.
Approval by the Board is also required prior to the
acceptance of a gift of an outdoor work of art. Considerations
will include appropriateness with regard to the institutionʼs

4.2 Gifts of Statuary Depicting Living Persons.
No gift of statuary depicting a living person shall be accepted
by an institution, unless intended for display in a museum or
for addition to the collection of works of art for display in a
museum. Authority to accept proposed museum gifts of
statuary depicting living persons, intended for display
indoors, is delegated to the presidents. Proposed gifts of
statuary intended for outdoor display require approval under
Section 4.1 above.
Sec. 5 Approval of Conforming Gifts.
The Board of Regents delegates to the Chancellor or the
president of an institution, following prior review and
approval by the Deputy Chancellor, the appropriate
Executive Vice Chancellor, and the Vice Chancellor for
External Relations, the authority to accept conforming gifts,
including pledges, other than gifts of real property, that are
113
not processed or administered by the Office of External
Relations, and the authority to take any and all desirable
actions relating to the administration and management of
gifts accepted by the Chancellor or the president of the
institution, as may be permitted by applicable law, policies,
these Regentsʼ Rules and Regulations, and the U. T. System
Gift Acceptance Procedures [3].
Sec. 6 Gifts Requiring Approval by Executive Director of
Real Estate.
The Board of Regents delegates to the Executive Director of
Real Estate authority to accept all conforming gifts of real
property of any value that are not processed or administered
by the Office of External Relations, and the authority to take
any and all desirable actions relating to the administration
and management of gifts accepted by the Executive Director
of Real Estate, as may be permitted by applicable law,
policies, the U. T. System Gift Acceptance Procedures [1],
The University of Texas System Administration Policy
UTS161, Environmental Review for Acquisition of Real
Property [4], and these Regentsʼ Rules and Regulations,
including Rule 60103 [5] concerning guidelines for acceptance
of gifts of real property. Acceptance of all gifts of real
property shall be subject to the Regentsʼ Rules and
Regulations, Rule 60103 [5] and The University of Texas
System Administration Policy UTS161, Environmental
Review for Acquisition of Real Property [4].
Sec. 7 Gifts Requiring Approval by Vice Chancellor for
External Relations.
The Board of Regents delegates to the Vice Chancellor for
External Relations authority to accept all conforming gifts,
including pledges, of any value (either in cash or in kind) that
are processed or administered by the Office of External
Relations. The Board also delegates to the Vice Chancellor
114
for External Relations authority to take any and all desirable
actions relating to the administration and management of
gifts accepted by the Office of External Relations, including
without limitation the modification or termination of trusts and
endowments as may be permitted by applicable law,
policies, these Rules and Regulations, and the U. T. System
Gift Acceptance Procedures [1].
7.1 Gifts Reviewed.
The Office of Development and Gift Planning Services, with
assistance from the Real Estate Office, the University Lands
Office, and the Office of General Counsel as required, shall
review all gift assets processed or administered by the Office
of External Relations and certain gift assets that the
Chancellor or president is authorized to accept. Gift assets
requiring review include, but are not limited to, securities,
interests in limited partnerships, stock of closely-held
corporations, stock of S corporations, stock options, and
warrants. The Office of Development and Gift Planning
Services shall also review all bequests, interests in trusts,
gifts, and other funds to establish endowments and other
planned gifts as defined in the U. T. System Gift Acceptance
Procedures [1].
7.2 Gifts to Establish Endowments.
Endowments will be established with gifts that have been
completed for tax purposes or with a combination of such
gifts, pledges, and other funds at a minimum funding level of
$10,000.
Sec. 8 Internal Revenue Service Forms.
The Board of Regents delegates to the Chancellor, the
Executive Director of Real Estate, the Vice Chancellor for
External Relations, and the president of the institution the
authority to execute all necessary Internal Revenue Service
forms, including without limitation IRS Forms 8283 [6]
and 8282 [7], that relate to gifts accepted by each.
115
Sec. 9 Gift Benefiting an Individual.
Neither the U. T. System nor any of the institutions will
administer a gift for the benefit of any designated individual
unless the donor is exempt from federal income taxes as
defined by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Sec. 10 Service by Board as Estate
Executor/Administrator.
The Board of Regents will not serve as executor or
administrator of an estate because of the potential for
conflicts of interest and the scope of the required duties.
Sec. 11 Prohibition to Act as Witness to Will.
The employees of the U. T. System or any of the institutions
should not knowingly act as witnesses to wills in which the
U. T. System or an institution is named as a beneficiary so
as not to jeopardize the receipt of the bequest.
Sec. 12 Service by Employee as Executor/Administrator
of Estate or Trustee of Trust.
Employees of the U. T. System or any of the institutions who
agree to serve as trustee of a trust, or executor or
administrator of an estate benefiting the U. T. System or any
of the institutions are immediately to notify the Office of
Development and Gift Planning Services of their
appointment. Upon notification, the employee will be
furnished with a statement advising of the potential for
conflicts of interest and directing that all communications
pertaining to the trust or estate between the employee and
any office of the U. T. System or the institutions shall be in
writing.

Gift Acceptance Procedures
Table of Contents [1]
Sec. 1 Purpose.
Private sector support is critical to The University of Texas
System. Contributions from individuals, foundations,
corporations, and other entities are vitally important to the
fulfillment of the institution's mission and to the provision of
high-quality educational opportunities. The purpose of these
procedures is to clarify and facilitate the process for making
119
gifts to the U. T. System and the U. T. institutions
(collectively referred to hereafter as "U. T.").
Sec. 2 Procedures.
As authorized by the Board of Regents' Rules and
Regulations, Rule 60101 [2] these procedures are designed to
outline administrative processes associated with the
acceptance, administration, and investment of gifts
processed or administered by the Office of Development and
Gift Planning Services (ODGPS), as the designee of the Vice
Chancellor for External Relations in a prudent and efficient
manner, with fundamental fiduciary responsibilities kept
firmly in mind. These procedures also cover gifts given for
current purposes, including gifts of securities, gifts of family
limited partnerships, bequests, trust distributions, personal
property, life insurance and retirement plan assets. These
procedures are also intended to ensure that staff members
are able to function in a timely, effective, and professional
manner in the context of institutions that are engaged in
energetic and comprehensive fundraising efforts. When
these procedures do not indicate an appropriate course of
action or if they are inappropriate in light of all aspects of a
specific situation, staff members are directed to consult with
the relevant offices as outlined in these procedures to
establish an appropriate course of action.
Item 3 provides definitions for terms used throughout the Gift
Acceptance Procedures.
The Acceptance of Gifts Conforming to Policy Matrix

shall not provide legal and/or tax advice and will advise all
120
prospective donors in writing to seek such advice from their
own counsel and professional consultants. Each U. T.
representative should be knowledgeable about gifts and
should disclose to the donor advantages and disadvantages
