Conflicts of Interest Policy

It is the policy of UA Northark to comply with Act 69 . All Board of Visitors members shall treat their position with UA Northark as a public trust. Visitors shall use their positions and resources only to advance the public interest and not to obtain personal benefits or pursue private interests. Visitors shall conduct themselves in a manner that justifies the confidence placed in them by the UA Northark community and the greater Harrison and surrounding community, at all times maintaining the integrity and discharging ethically the high responsibilities of public service. A conflict of interest may make it difficult or impossible for a trustee to perform their duties effectively or to act in UA Northark's best interests. Thus, all trustees must avoid any situation that may give rise to a conflict of interest and the appearance of impropriety.
  1. Appearance of Impropriety is a circumstance that appears to a reasonable observer to be improper, whether such a circumstance is an actual violation of policy or law. 
  2. Conflict of Interest is a situation in which an individual might benefit or appear to benefit personally from a decision made in their official capacity.
  3. Visitor is any member of the UA Northark Board of Visitors. 
  4. Financial Interest is one in which the person or immediate family member has, directly or indirectly, through business or investment:
A. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which UA Northark has a transaction or arrangement.
B. A compensation arrangement with any entity or individual with which UA Northark is negotiating a transaction or arrangement, or a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which UA Northark is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.
C. A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. A person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the Board or appropriate committee decides that a conflict of interest exists.

 5.  Family of a Visitor For purposes of this policy, family of an Visitor includes spouse, domestic partner, parents, brothers, sisters, children, stepparents, stepbrothers and stepsisters, stepchildren, parents-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, and the immediate family members (parents, brothers and sisters, and children) of spouses and domestic partners, or is a person who receives financial support of more than 25% of their annual income, or is a person claimed as a dependent for federal income tax purposes. This policy applies whether the relationship exists at the time of employment or is established later.  
 6.  Honoraria Gifts given by way of honoring or paying respect to someone or something; spec. a (voluntary) fee for professional services which are rendered nominally without charge.

Each member of the Board of Visitors shall complete, sign, and file a Statement of Financial Interest form on an annual basis.
Each member of the Board of Visitors shall complete, sign, and file a Code of Ethics Disclosure form on an annual basis.


Prohibited Activities
  1. A visitor shall not use his or her position to secure special privileges or exemptions not available to others for his or herself, or persons standing in the first degree of relationship to the visitor, or for those with whom the visitor has a substantial financial relationship except as otherwise provided by law or policy of the Board.
  2. A visitor shall not engage in any public or professional activity while serving as a visitor which the trustee might reasonably expect would require or induce the visitor to disclose any information acquired by the visitor by reason of the visitors's official position, which is declared by law or regulation to be confidential. A visitor shall not disclose any such information gained by reason of his or her position, nor shall the visitor otherwise use such information for his or her personal gain or benefit unless as otherwise provided by law or policy of the Board.
  3. A visitor must abstain from voting on or influencing transactions where a conflict of interest exists. A visitor having knowledge of a conflict of interest shall disclose it to the Chairman of the Board within a reasonable time after becoming aware of the conflict of interest. A visitor having a conflict of interest shall not vote or otherwise take any action with respect to the matter as to which a conflict of interest exists. The visitor may, if requested by the Chairman of the Board, or the Chairman of a committee of the Board, participate in discussion of the transaction in public meetings of the Board or its committees but shall abstain from voting thereon.
