Here is a helpful piece of information from George Washington University regarding service on government employees and/or government property. This information is excerpted from this document; Dallas Process Server assumes no liability for it's veracity.
Helpful rules for service delivery on government property
As a general rule, all court papers and letters from lawyers received by faculty and staff concerning their work at GW should be transmitted promptly to the Office of the VP and General Counsel (OGC).
This Legal Advisory outlines the procedures University employees should follow when presented with summonses, subpoenas, lawsuits, notices, and letters from lawyers, law enforcement officials or regulatory agency officials. The information is provided for general guidance only and is not a substitute for legal advice available from an attorney in the Office of General Counsel (OGC). OGC only provides legal services related to official GW activity.
Exception
Some GW employees interact with federal agencies as part of their day-to-day work.
This Advisory does not prohibit such usual and customary interactions with federal agencies. However, employees should contact OGC under these circumstances:
• If the request made to you is unusual or not customary because it differs from normal day-to-day interactions. (For instance, receipt of a summons, subpoena or an unusual information request from a government agency);
• If you believe or question whether you should "self-report" to the federal government. Voluntary disclosures of certain University records, information and subpoenas are prohibited by law or contract, so prior to making any voluntary disclosures, please check with OGC.
