University Conflict of Interest Disclosure

The University’s GE0002 – Conflicts of Interest & Commitment policy requires employees to file a disclosure of outside interests and activities to help the University identify and manage conflicts between an employee’s outside interests and his or her University responsibilities. 

The comprehensive outside interest disclosure (OID) form collects information regarding employee’s outside activities, interests, commitments, compensation, and foreign relationships. Collecting this data enables the University to enhance our assistance to individuals and more efficiently address federal reporting requirements.

Who is required to submit an OID form?

• All regular (benefits-eligible) faculty and staff
• All temporary adjunct faculty and staff
• All Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA), Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) and Graduate Assistant position holders

Exclusions to the OID form requirement exist only for seasonal employees, event staff, undergraduate students, and students enrolled in graduate school holding student worker (non-GA) positions.

When are employees required to complete an OID form?

All employees outlined above as being covered by this policy must complete an OID form according to the schedules below, even if no activities exist to be disclosed.

• New University employees and current University employees in a new University position must complete the form and disclose outside activities within 30 days of their effective employment date.
• University employees and researchers must complete the form and disclose outside activities annually, and then again, prior to engaging in a new outside activity (but no later than 30 days after engagement).
• Researchers must complete the form and disclose outside activities prior to commencing a sponsored project.

Instructions for completing the OID form: (This area is currently under construction.)
