Purpose

Persons potentially committing a conflict of interest violation under consideration by the committee will receive notice of the committee’s evaluation, and will be given an opportunity to appear before the committee. Following evaluation of any disclosure, the committee will render a decision regarding the issue(s) presented by the disclosure. Any disclosure which indicates an actual violation of law will be forwarded to the president along with the committee’s findings.
