Conflicts of Interest and Conflicts of Committment

Managing a Potential Conflict of Interest
or Conflict of Commitment

Who will be involved in developing a plan to address the potential conflict of interest or conflict of commitment?

In addition to talking with the faculty member, the unit’s COI/COC manager almost always will consult with the chair, academic program director, or head of unit in which the faculty member holds an appointment.  

If warranted, the COI/COC manager will also contact one or more central UM offices. Depending on the nature of the potential COI/COC, the manager may, for example, consult with

  • The Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs,
  • University Human Resources, or
  • The Office of the Vice President and General Counsel.
