Abstract | This booklet offers guidelines for conflict of interest issues and disclosure for members of governing boards of institutions of higher education. It urges institutions to develop conflict-of-interest policy documents to guide decisions concerning such topics as defining what constitutes "conflict of interest"; the board's role in cases of an "appearance" of conflict of interest; when a perceived conflict of interest should be addressed; who is responsible for requesting board attention and action; maintaining balance in light of the need to seek members who are influential people with diverse affiliations; and whether board policy should specify most possible conflicts of interest. A general guideline offered suggests that any time a trustee or institutional officer (or family member or business associate) stands to gain financially (either directly or indirectly) from a specific transaction, there is a potential conflict of interest. Examples of relatively easy and more difficult situations are offered. The booklet warns that policy guidelines and annual disclosure requirements should strike a balance between being overly prescriptive or so vague that they are easily ignored or ineffective. Also provided are some criteria for defining conflict of interest, as well as a sample conflict of interest policy statement. (DB) |
