Conflict of Interest
Wayne State University encourages external activities that enhance an employee’s value to WSU. WSU’s presence in local, national, or international communities, provides public service, or brings cutting edge research to the public via industry partnerships. In order to protect the public trust and promote objectivity in these activities, the University has adopted a Research Policy on Individual and Institutional Financial Conflict of Interest. This policy establishes standards to ensure that there is no reasonable expectation that WSU employees will be biased in these endeavors by competing financial interests.
