Conflict of Interes t Policy
All employees (faculty/ staff) and members of the Board of Trust.ees
of Central Michigan University serve a public interest role and
must. conduct all affairs of the University in a manner consist.ent
~ith this concept. Decisions made in the course of employment. or
as an official or representative of the University are to promote
the best interests of the university. This policy is desioned to
foster high ethical st.andards of performance by ensuring t.hat.
actual or apparent. conflict. of interest situations are avoided.
Every University faculty/staff rncmber is expected to accord t.he
universit.y his/her primary professional loyalty, and every
faculty / staff member and Trustee is expected t.o arrange out.side
obligations, financial int.erests, and activities so as not to
conflict with their convnitment. to the Universit.y . At the same
time, Trustees and facult.y/staff have t.he right. t.o acquire and
retain interests of a professional, personal or economic nature.
These outside involvements often serve not only t.he employee, but
also the University and the public interest as well. In a
corrmunity as diverse and complex as the University, t.here is always
the possibilit.y that t.he pursuit of individual interests may
conflict with the int.erest.s of the University. Every individual,
especially those with significant exposure to potent.ial conflict of
interest. sit.uations, should develop a sensitivity t.o this issue and
seck guidance ~hen appropriate .
Honesty and professional integrity are expected of all faculty/
staff and the Board of Trustees , and it would be a serious
violation of this trust if t he interests of the University were to

university faculty/s t aff and members of the Board of Tr us t ees
shoul d not normally have a persona l f i nancia l interest in
transactions involving t he unive r sity. However , when they do , full
disclosure of the int e rest is necessary in advance of Uni ve r sity
action , and where appr opr iate , special approva l of t he transacti on
is requi red to insure t hat the university ' S best i nt erest s are t he
paramount consideration .
Since 1984, Michigan Public Act No . 184 , MCLA 15 . 323 has a llowed
public uni ve r sities to contract with t heir own employees . Thi s
change genera t ed severa l policy alternatives . The Uni ve r sity has
elected to allow contracting wi th University facul ty/staff, but
wi th some limitations .
It is not expect ed tha t every faculty/staff member wou l d ha ve a
complete and current knowledge of the laws and regula t ions which
apply to conflic t of i nte r es t. Advice is ava i l abl e fr om the Off ice
of the Unive rsity counsel through the facul ty /staff membe r' s Vice •
Presi dent regarding speci f ic situations .

Endowment Fund I nvestments
Gifts of cash or marketable securities restricted by the donors for
specif ic purposes and for which only the income may be expended are
recorded in the Endowment Fund. Cash is usually invested immedi­ately
in common stock, bonds , or other marketable sec urities. The
first consideration in endowment fund investments is t o adhere t o
the donor's wishes concerning the retention of a particular
marketable security. Otherwise, the Inves tment Committee would be
r esponsible f or buying and selling the securities to maximize t otal
return within an acceptable l evel of risk in order t o keep pace
with i nflationary trends . At the committee's discretion, the funds
could be handled by an outside agency or could be retained locally
in a bank safekeeping vaul t. Inves tments in the Endowment Fund
will be hi gh grade securiti es.

t o use are recorded in the Development Fund. In most cases, these
se curit ies are purchased fr om t he Deve l opment Fund (De s ignated) and

Ge nerally, the i ntent is t o sell these securities and not reinvest
the proceeds. The cash i s then available for General Fund
purposes.
•
Whi l e it is permissible to accept corporate bonds and stocks in the

quickly as possible . The acceptance of unrestricted marketable
securities should produce General Fund cash for unrestricted
purposes .

needs is t o be invested in income-bearing instruments to seek the
maximum return available at the lowest possible risk . The preser­vation
