In the course of doing College business, actual and potential conflicts of interest 偶尔会出现. At Montgomery County Community College, a conflict of interest is present whenever one’s professional duties or obligations are compromised, or appear to be compromised, by outside interests or concerns, personal gain or personal relationships.

When presented with a potential or 实际的冲突 of interest, or whenever an employee is in doubt as to whether or not such a conflict exists, 学院 expects that employee to understand that there is a responsibility to disclose the potential or 实际的冲突.

In particular, in the event that an employee of 学院 has an external business or external financial interest in entities that are also doing business with 学院, there shall be full disclosure to both the immediate supervisor and to 人力资源, by the employee, as to the exact nature of that business or financial interest.

Additionally, in the event that an employee of 学院 is in a position to evaluate the candidacy, promotion or tenure of a potential employee of 学院 with whom that employee has a familial or otherwise close, extra-institutional connection, it is incumbent on that employee to disclose that connection and ask to be recused from the employment decision making process. The same expectation holds for any employee in a position to impact an academic decision with respect to any student with whom that employee has a familial or close, extra-institutional connection.

Supervisors are strongly encouraged to consult with 人力资源 in the event of any concerns or questions, with regard to any particular disclosure of a potential or 实际的冲突 of interest, from a subordinate employee.

Following disclosure, employees, when necessary, should recuse themselves from direct involvement in any decision making regarding that business activity or financial enterprise as it concerns 学院, unless 学院 determines otherwise.

Anyone found to be in violation of this Conflict of Interest policy could be subject to progressive disciplinary action, up to and including a recommendation for termination 从就业.
