It is the responsibility of every staff member working for ASU to be familiar with the ASU Conflict of Interest Policy. The policy for both faculty and staff can be found in the Academic Affairs Manual. The policy is based on the specific requirements of State law. Under the policy and state law, it is the obligation of the employee to recognize a potential conflict of interest, and to disclose that interest using the University’s Disclosure of Substantial Interest Form.(Word) or (PDF).
The Office of General Counsel has developed a Briefing Paper in question and answer format to help faculty and staff understand their obligations under the policy. If after reviewing the policy, the briefing paper, and the disclosure form, you still have questions about your responsibilities, please contact the Office of General Counsel.
