8.6 Occasional or Irregular Conflicts of Interest
(Amended 4/1/25)
If a conflict of interest in employment is occasional or irregular (e.g., a tenure or promotion vote), there must be a mechanism in place for managing the conflict. Recusal typically is required in any situation that involves a discussion and/or decision that could result in a direct benefit to an associated individual. In such cases, the disclosure and recusal or other management plan must be documented.
