Harvard University Policy:
To assure Harvard’s many constituents of the integrity of its academic, research, and business endeavors, the University has had long-standing policies directing its most senior officials, among others, to act in a manner consistent with their responsibilities to the University and to avoid circumstances where their financial or other personal ties to outside organizations could present an actual or potential conflict of interest or could discredit Harvard’s good name and reputation.
This Policy applies to Senior Officers and Senior Administrators as defined in the policy document. For more information, refer to the HU Office of General Counsel (OGC) website.
