ACE Offers Guidance on Conflicts of Interest in Higher Education

Washington — The American Council on Education has released a working paper meant to provide guidance to college administrators on conflict-of-interest issues. The paper outlines the kinds of policies that higher-education institutions should have in place, along with situations that administrators should consider under conflict-of-interest policies, such as when a college official can accept a gift or own stock in a company.

 

The paper also covers conflicts of interest that institutions might face in research or commercial deals, such as when a vendor offers a gift to an institution.
