You must disclose any significant financial or beneficial interest held by yourself or your immediate family in any entity engaged in the delivery of goods and services to Drexel University or its members. Any exceptions that would be beneficial to the University require the written approval of the President. Any such activities would require dean, provost or vice presidential written approval. This does not include books and other educational materials that faculty may receive to review for classroom adoption. This does not include acceptance of items of a nominal value intended as a good will gesture and not to influence decisions or actions affecting the University.
Examples are calendars, paperweights, and pens used in advertisements by an organization.
The purpose is to avoid accepting anything offered with the appearance, intent, or effect of influencing the exercise of the employee's professional judgment on behalf of Drexel. For example, under the proper circumstances, a business lunch would not be a conflict of interest. An organization or individual desiring to make a gift to the University should be asked to contact Institutional Advancement. I further acknowledge my duty to disclose any significant financial or beneficial interest held by myself or my immediate family in any entity engaged in the delivery of goods or services to Drexel University or its members. I also agree to report in writing any personal activity or business opportunity within the scope of activity of Drexel University and shall refrain from exploiting any such opportunity except under written approval of the senior vice president responsible for my area.
