Ethics disclosures are due
July 1, 2014
University employees are responsible for complying with the Alaska Executive Branch
Ethics Act (Alaska Statute 39.52). The act governs how you do your university job.
For example, the act regulates action you undertake as an employee that affects your
personal or financial interests. All forms are available at the University of Alaska Statewide Office of Human Resources website.
Please refer to the Ethics Act quick reference guide with your employees annually
and discuss ethical scenarios that might come up within the university setting.
Disclose the following:
- Employees must disclose any work they perform outside of their university employment, including self-employment, independent contracting or consulting.
- Any volunteer or uncompensated work must be disclosed if there is any possibility the work involves the same issues or people as your university duties.
- All employee and employee family member interests in contracts with the university must be disclosed and preapproved using the Interest in Contracts form.
- Employment of your immediate family members by the university must be disclosed using the Nepotism or Interest in Contracts forms.
- You may be required to submit other disclosures if you engage in sponsored research.
Outside employment must be disclosed:
- Prior to beginning the employment
- When changes occur
- Every July 1, even if a form was previously submitted (or within 30 days of beginning or resuming university employment).
Two different forms for Disclosure of Employment or Services Outside of the University of Alaska are available, one for faculty and one for staff and students.
You do not need to fill out the disclosure of outside employment or services form if you do not engage in work or volunteer activities outside your university employment.
Contact Brad Lobland, UAF designated ethics supervisor, at 474-7700 if you have questions.
