Conflicts Of Interest

University employees involved in committing any University managed funds shall not have a business interest or a family relationship with a supplier of goods of services to the University so as not to impair the integrity and objectivity of the purchase.   An apparent conflict of interest, or at a minimum, the appearance of one, may exist if any employee has a direct or material indirect financial interest in a vendor company or when there is a family or other personal relationship.

All instances where conflicts of interest appear or are suspected must be brought to the immediate attention of the Chief Procurement Officer of Procurement Services.
