Employee obligations under Indiana statute, federal regulations, and University policy

All employees of Purdue University are required to disclose to the Board of Trustees, through the University’s Conflict of Interest Officer, any financial interest in a contract, procurement, investment or loan by their employer (Purdue University). After approving management of the financial interest, the Board of Trustees files the disclosure with the Indiana State Board of Accounts. Employees who fail to disclose these financial interests commit a felony.

Full disclosure of financial interests and management of potential financial COI is required to ensure the integrity and objectivity of University research, instruction, outreach, and business practices.

University employees holding a financial interest in the outcome of their University responsibilities, including instruction, research, and engagement activities, or in an external sponsor of their University activities, must disclose this financial interest to the University Conflict of Interest Officer before the activity is initiated or as soon after initiation that the financial interest is recognized.
