Students' educational and research programs are to be entirely open.
Students have the right to publish and freely communicate their research progress and findings.
Upon review, exceptions may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies. This would make it possible for a student to be employed in a company in which the student's adviser had a financial interest that was NOT significant. Extend the Graduate Council policy in VI.A.3 above to prohibit postdocs from being employed by a company in which their UCSD mentor has a Significant Financial Interest, in recognition of the educational nature of the postdoctoral experience which is preparing the postdoc for an academic or research career. The student's faculty adviser and the researcher directing the project do not have a Significant Financial Interest in the company sponsoring the campus research project. The company places no confidentiality or non-disclosure restrictions on the student and permits the student to freely discuss and publish the results of his work without delays.
