Anticipating and Managing Conflicts in Commercialization Activities Jeff Roberts Frederick L. Hovde Dean College of Science Academic Leadership Forum November 3, 2010
Three Points Understand what a conflict is- and the difference between conflict of interest and conflict of commitment. Know Purdue s policy, and- where it is appropriatemake sure that your students, post-doctoral associates, and collaborators know it too. Optics can be just as important as reality. So disclose, disclose, disclose. Make sure that your department head is in the loop. Academic Leadership Forum November 3, 2010
Conflicts of Interest and Commitment FROM EXECUTIVE MEMORANDUM C-39: Conflict of Interest occurs when a Faculty or Staff member, any of his/her family or associated entity, receives personal financial reward from his/her University position in a manner which may bias the individual's judgment, or compromise his/her ability to carry out the contractual obligation for teaching, research, administrative, and service responsibilities. In certain cases where a Faculty or Staff member may benefit personally from his/her activities, this benefit may be permitted following disclosure and approval. Conflicts of Commitment relate to the devotion of time and energy to external activities. With the acceptance of a full-time appointment to the University, an individual makes a commitment to the University that is understood to be full-time in the most inclusive sense. Full-time members of the Faculty and Staff are expected to devote their primary professional loyalty, time and energy to their teaching, research, administrative and service activities. Accordingly, they should arrange outside activities and financial interests so as not to interfere with the primacy of these commitments. Academic Leadership Forum November 3, 2010
