Staff Conflict of Interest

Each year, members of the University staff examine their activities for possible conflicts of interest between personal activities and University responsibilities. This periodic review is intended to remove any questions about conflict of interest and resolve any doubt about any activity that might present a conflict.  Conduct in business and academia has been the subject of public scrutiny and legislation in recent times, and it is good practice for us to demonstrate that our work is free from any question about our motivation and our dedication to the University mission. 

The questionnaire page will be available June 22nd. Members of the staff should each complete a Conflict of Interest questionnaire this year by July 13, 2009 . Supervisors should approve the questionnaires by August 3rd.
