Good morning! Thank you all for your participation in the Ethics Awareness presentation yesterday! Only 2 ethics questions remain as we CELEBRATE Our ETHICAL CULTURE.

Today’s question concerns the USG’s Conflicts of Interest, Conflict of Commitment and Outside Activities policy.

Q:      Which of the following statements are true regarding USG employees seeking to engage in side jobs, outside consulting and other outside employment? 

1. Prior written approval is needed for compensated, outside employment that relates to the employee’s responsibilities as a USG employee.
2. Employees who work less than 30 hours per week do not need prior written approval to engage in outside employment so long as the outside activity does not create a conflict of interest or otherwise violate Board policy.
3. USG institution employees are generally prohibited from consulting with or otherwise receiving compensation from a current vendor of, or an entity seeking a vendor relationship with, the USG institution where the employee works.
4. All of the above.
