Hi Pamina, Old Dominion University includes “Length of service celebrations” as an allowable expense for discretionary (non-state) funds. The only parameter noted is that “the cost of the function should be in proportion to the retiree’s length of service and position within the institution.” It also states that gifts may be purchased with discretionary funds for “University-approved events” so that would include recognition receptions.

I am interested in seeing the policies of other colleges and universities (especially state institutions) on the use of University funds—in contrast to foundation funds—to pay for costs associated with retirement receptions, including gifts that commemorate the retirements.
