 Subject: MASSMAIL - Conflict of Commitment & Interest Policy 

July 8, 2011


Dear Colleagues:
 
At the January 20, 2011 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved an 
amended Policy on Conflicts of Commitment and Interest, effective July 1, 
2011.  The new policy will ensure that the University of Illinois is well 
positioned to meet the increasing complexity of conflict management in 
the 21st century.
 
The amended policy replaces the previous version, which has been in 
effect since 1996.  We received thoughtful input from many stakeholders 
and we are grateful to the many faculty and staff across the three 
campuses and university administration who were involved in carefully 
amending the policy.  With the creation of the new office of the Vice 
President for Research, President Hogan has transferred the authority for 
administering the Policy to the Vice President for Research, Lawrence B. 
Schook, from that of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Mrinalini 
C. Rao.
 
The amended policy, frequently asked questions, the form and instructions 
for the report of non-university activities and contact information can 
all be found at <http://www.vpaa.uillinois.edu/policies/COCI.cfm>.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mrinalini C. Rao
Vice President of Academic Affairs
 
Lawrence Schook
Vice President for Research (Interim)
