Why do I have to disclose my Outside Employment and Outside Commitments to the Office for Responsible Outside Interests?

The University requires that all Investigators (regardless of their U of A FTE) and all University Employees with a 0.50 FTE or greater submit an Outside Commitment, Outside Employment or Other Support form in eDisclosure for review because the University has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that inappropriate external influences outside the course and scope of one’s University employment or research activities do not affect the performance of one’s primary duties to the University. Outside Activities raise important questions related to time and energy allocation, University resource allocation, intellectual property protection and potential for conflicts of interest.
