Conflict of Interest

The intent of the conflict of interest (COI) policy framework is to foster university activities and outside professional activities as positive contributors to UND. The University sees great value in outside activities that advance and communicate knowledge through interaction with government, industry, the community, and the public, and through consulting and professional opportunities.

The conflict of interest policy establishes guidelines to allow faculty and staff to identify potential conflicts and to manage those conflicts in ways that balance the integrity and interests of UND with those of each University employee.
