The Office of the Provost has issued a policy on conflict of interest,
which is established as an integral part of the University's efforts
to ensure that all who act in the University's name will conduct
themselves in accordance with high ethical standards. The policy
is applicable to officers, faculty, staff and others who are compensated
by the University for their services and act as its agents. The
policy embodies the concept of commitment required of each faculty
and staff members.
The University's reputation for integrity, and its favored status
as an institution exempt from taxation, requires that decisions
made on behalf of the University reflect the best interests of the
institution, and not be motivated by a desire for personal and private
gain. Each of us, therefore, is responsible for resolving conflicts
between personal and institutional interests in favor of the University.
The Office of Purchasing Services has also issued a specific policy
regarding vendors. It states that all faculty and staff are expected
to have no personal interest in suggesting or specifying vendors;
that there be no personal relationships; and that there be no direct
or indirect incentive or reward (financial or otherwise).
Additionally, the Personnel Policy Manual states that immediate
family members and members of the same household are not to be employed
in a position where one has line authority over personnel actions
concerning the other.
