Conflict of Interest & Commitment (COI/COC): Disclosures for Non-Research Faculty & Staff

The UTSA Handbook of Operating Procedures Policy 1.33: Conflict of Interest, Conflict of Commitment, and Outside Activities is intended to protect the credibility and reputation of UTSA, and its faculty and staff by providing a transparent system of disclosure, approval, and documentation of employee activities outside UTSA (including but not limited to: engaging in outside employment or outside board service and owning certain interests in business entities) that might otherwise raise concerns about Conflicts of Interest or Conflicts of Commitment. HOP 1.33 also serves the purpose of ensuring compliance with state ethics laws and Regents’ Rules. Finally, it is intended to provide the framework for rules and procedures that will clearly delineate allowable outside activity.
