Membership fees for professional societies, technical groups, accredited associations and other such organizations may be paid from university sources, provided public purpose is established. Memberships to country clubs or other social organizations cannot be paid from university funds. Federal funds may not be used to pay memberships in organizations that engage in lobbying.
Departments should be alert for multiple memberships in the same organization. If the primary benefit of the membership is a subscription to a technical journal, the possibility of sharing literature should be investigated.
