COI Committee

The COI Committee (COIC) will administer the Board of Regents Individual COI Policy to preserve the integrity of the University and maintain compliance with applicable federal regulations, while respecting academic freedom and acknowledging the desire of some to participate in outside scholarly and entrepreneurial activities. The COIC will review individual COI disclosures as assigned by the COI Officer (COIO). 

Members are appointed by the Faculty and Staff Senate and approved by the Senior Vice President and Provost and President. Additional members with specialized competencies and expertise may be selected by the Provost or Committee to assist with reviews of potential conflicts when appropriate.
