How may a faculty member refer to himself/herself when consulting with industry?
A faculty member may use the university’s name and campus names in making a true and accurate statement of his/her relationship with, or employment by, the University of California. For instance, a faculty member may correctly state his or her official university appointment such as “John Smith, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.” Employees may not, however, use the university’s names or campus names, or their affiliation with the university in any manner that suggests or implies university support or endorsement of any activity or program. In circumstances where there is a potential for university endorsement or support to be construed from an individual’s use, a disclaimer is required. Employees should consult with the appropriate Vice Chancellor if any doubt exists regarding the requirement for a disclaimer.
