Yes, in July 2005, the President and the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs revised SPG 201.65-1 to provide a framework for addressing potential conflict situations. The University s approach is to take steps that would assure an objective observer that employees make University-related decisions without conflict and that an employee s commitment to his or her job is commensurate with that employee s percentage appointment. These steps are called conflict management plans.
