The State Code of Ethics for Public Officials states a conflict of interest exists when a state employee, in the discharge of their
official duties, is required to take an action that would affect a financial interest of the employee, the employee’s family member
(spouse, parent, sibling, child or spouse of a child.), or a business with which the employee is associated with. If presented
with a conflict of interest, the Code requires employees to prepare a written statement describing the matter and the nature of
the conflict and deliver a copy to their immediate supervisor.
The University created a Conflict of Interest Disclosure form intended to assist employees with meeting the above statutory requirements, as well as compliance with the University “Policy on Employment and Contracting for Service of Relatives”. Any questions should be directed to the Office of Audit, Compliance & Ethics at (860) 486-2530.
