The Office of the Vice-President Administration and Finance wishes to inform the University community that the Board of Governors has approved a new Conflict of Interest Policy.  The purpose of this policy is to define conflicts of interest at the University and establish procedures to effectively address and manage them. 

All members of the university community, including faculty and staff, have an obligation to declare any conflicts of interest in accordance with the policy.  Please keep in mind that a conflict of interest can be actual, perceived, or foreseeable; when in doubt, seek guidance from your conflict officer as outlined in the policy.

The policy can be found here: https://files.upei.ca/policy/conflict_of_interest_policy_govbrdgnl0018.pdf.  It is important that all members of the university community review the policy carefully and become familiar with the standards and requirements it contains.
