$438 in gifts from UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO in 2026, over the gift ban's $75 limit unless an exception applies

Their own gift reports list 12 items from UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO received in 2026, worth $438.00 in all: Succulent basket ($14.00); Alpacca buffalo ($58.00); Cu women's basketball vs. cincinnati (2 tickets) ($10.00); Cu men's basketball vs. texas tech (2 tickets) ($38.00) …. The Colorado Constitution's gift ban limits what an official may accept from one person in a calendar year to $75 (as adjusted for inflation), with exceptions: food and admission where they speak or answer questions, a nonprofit's or government's reasonable expenses for a meeting where they take part, gifts from relatives and personal friends on a special occasion, tokens and informational material, and anything they paid fair value for. University Of Colorado is a public body; when it pays for an official's own duties (travel, events they attend in office) that isn't a gift from a private source. Reporting a gift is required either way; the report doesn't say which exception, if any, applies.
