University Employees

COI:  Income received from the University of Arizona is exempt from the COI disclosure requirements

COC:  Please work with your college/unit leadership to determine if they consider this to be an Outside Commitment.  Pursuant to policy, Outside Commitments (1) are professional and other activities that are related to a University Employee’s professional expertise, outside of their University duties and responsibilities; (2) are for the benefit of an external entity or individual and are not covered by a fully executed written agreement between the University and the external entity; and (3) require a time commitment.  Here, the teaching commitment is not for the benefit of an external entity or individual. With that said, an individual’s supervisor/department/college could require submission of a COC form for review and approval to ensure the individual’s institutional duties and responsibilities are properly covered if they desired to do so.

As a public University and recipient of federal research funding, UArizona is required to comply with federal regulations, state law and ABOR policies.  Additionally, UArizona has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure inappropriate external influences do not affect the performance of one’s primary duties to UArizona.

The information collected in eDisclosure allows UArizona to ensure development and implementation of management strategies in order to facilitate our faculty’s continued cutting-edge research and that all University Employees meet regulatory requirements.

More information on disclosure requirements can be found on our History of Disclosure Requirements webpage.
