Management: The Conflict of Interest Committee (CIC) is a standing committee responsible for reviewing potential conflicts and approving/monitoring plans to manage institutional and individual conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment.
(a) The disclosing employee’s supervisor(s) may be invited to meet with the CIC to review a disclosure.
(b) If deemed necessary, the CIC will draft a management plan to mitigate the effects of any type of conflict of interest. An appointed member of the CIC will meet with the disclosing individual, and as appropriate with their immediate and/or unit supervisor(s), to review and implement the management plan.
(c) Appeal Process: A decision by the CIC may be appealed to the Sr. Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs within 30 days of the date the employee was notified of the need for a management plan by the CIC. The appeal must be made in writing and should detail the reason for the appeal. The Sr. Vice Chancellor will determine whether the CIC’s determination will stand, or whether the management plan or subsequent decisions should be sent back to the CIC for revision. The Sr. Vice Chancellor must provide written notification to the chair of the CIC and the appellant of his/her decision within 60 days of receiving the appeal.
