The university encourages individual participation in outside activities, such as collaborations with government, industry, and other private institutions, because such participation helps advance the university’s mission through mutually beneficial partnerships and contributes to social and economic development and increased knowledge. Participation in outside activities therefore is permitted to the extent that the activity aligns with an individual’s responsibilities to the university, and that participation does not create a conflict of commitment (COC) or conflict of interest (COI).
