(please read the policy before applying)
This policy is to be read in conjunction with other DUT regulations, policies and guidelines relating directly or indirectly to the duty of loyalty to the institution that is owed by members of the DUT community.
Every member of the DUT community becomes involved in situations where their loyalties may be divided or where their personal interest may conflict with their duties. This policy sets a general standard to govern conduct when such situations arise. It serves as one mechanism to improve governance at DUT.
The Conflict of Interest Policy in particular is applicable to staff members affiliated with the DUT as an academic/support staff member, student, member of the management of the university, including DUT council members.
However, DUT expects its' staff members to accord a full professional commitment to DUT during the terms of appointment by meeting DUT obligations first and foremost.
Each staff member of DUT is required to obtain prior written approval from DUT before undertaking, contracting for, or accepting anything of value in return for consulting or research from any external person or organization.
DUT members must disclose external activities that constitute actual or potential conflicts of commitment or interest. These include:
