Faculty and staff are reminded to follow and review UNL's "Conflict of Interest" policy.
The policy (No. 6.2.1.12, approved by the NU Board of Regents) states that the university is not permitted to purchase any goods or services from faculty or staff without prior approval of the Chris Jackson, vice chancellor for Business and Finance. Furthermore, university funds shall not be expended for the personal use of employees.
Additionally, in accordance with NU Regents policy 3.2.8.4, a conflict of interest can exist when a UNL employee or faculty member's immediate family member engages with business with the university.
