Members of the Notre Dame community are committed to identifying and avoiding situations and activities that constitute a Conflict of Interest in the execution of their duties for the University. Furthermore, activities, situations, and relationships that might create the perception of or potential for a Conflict of Interest must be identified and managed appropriately. The University believes that clear guidelines and principles for reporting and managing actual, potential, and perceived Conflicts of Interest will assist our Faculty, Staff, and Students in maintaining the highest level of integrity in their endeavors.
