Conflicts of interest can develop from faculty’s external activities with financial gains such as consulting, speaking engagements, and commercialization of technologies developed from faculty research, etc. These activities should be reported annually to university and to be updated as necessary.

To an extent such activities are encouraged and rewarded but such activities should not interfere with an individual’s commitment as well as decisions and actions from his/her university activities and responsibilities, resulting in personal financial gain. Such a conflict or even appearance of such a situation should be avoided by faculty. If such a situation develops, school/university should develop a management plan to minimize its impact or action to be taken to eliminate it.
