A Message From the Director of Compliance Services and Chief Privacy Officer
 
As we begin a new semester, it is important that all faculty and staff be informed about certain policies that are most relevant to UVM's stated values and to UVM's compliance program. Please review this information carefully and if you have any questions, reach out to the contact person listed in the policy. You can always reach out to the Office of Compliance Services directly if you have additional questions.
 
 
CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICAL STANDARDS

The intent of the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards (the Code) is to communicate the principles and standards that have been identified as most relevant to the University's stated values. While the Code is the foundation of the compliance program and highlights those policies most critical to the program, UVM's policies and procedures extend beyond those identified in the Code and all members of the UVM community are required to adhere to those policies applicable to them.

Conflict of Interest and Conflict of Commitment
 
 
 
All UVM employees, whether full-time or part-time, whether faculty, staff, administrators, or others, are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest/commitment as they arise. Beginning in October, all faculty and exempt staff ("covered persons") will also be required to file an annual conflicts disclosure form. Non-covered staff (non-exempt) are still required to disclose, in writing, potential conflicts; however, the method of disclosure is at the discretion of the employment unit. Additional information including training on using UVM's conflicts disclosure system will be forthcoming. Examples of potential conflicts and individual requirements are outlined in UVM's policy.
