CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The University Senate Policy C1 requires disclosure in circumstances where a contract for goods or services may be awarded to a
person or firm in which a University employee has a material interest. Policy wording in Section 6.2 Business Decisions is as
follows: A conflict of interest appears to exist when faculty and staff members take part in decisions to transact the university’s
business with a company in which they have a material interest. Therefore, the responsibility rests with individuals to disclose
whenever they have influence over a decision about a proposed contract between the university and a company in which they have
substantial holdings and to withdraw from the university’s decision-making process.
