As a public institution, Purdue University is responsible for assuring the citizens of the state of Indiana that it is focused on fulfilling its mission and is a good steward of its resources. Each faculty and staff member is held to certain standards, which are outlined in the University’s policies on Conflicts of Commitment and Reportable Outside Activities (III.B.1), Individual Financial Conflicts of Interest (III.B.2), Institutional Conflicts of Interest (III.B.6), Nepotism (III.B.3), and Political Activities (III.B.4).
The links below direct you to each policy, the policy’s forms and any additional resources available. Hard copies and accessible copies of any of the PDF forms listed below are available through our request form.
New ROA pre-approval requests must be submitted using PERA’s Conflict of Interest/Conflict of Commitment Module. The PERA system includes training for conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment. Once on the page, scroll down to see the available options.
