What if a faculty or staff member is uncertain whether a given situation constitutes a potential COI or COC?
The faculty or staff member does not need to decide whether there is a conflict. Instead, whenever there is any possibility of a conflict, the individual should discuss the matter with the person designated by the unit to handle potential conflicts. That person may decide there is no potential conflict, that any potential conflict can be easily managed, or that a more ambitious management plan must be adopted.
