Conflict of Commitment and Interest (COCI) and Report on Non-University Activity (RNUA)
Active participation by academic staff members in external activities that enhance their professional skills or constitute public service can be beneficial to the University as well as to the individual. Because such activities can lead to conflicts of commitment or interest with regard to one's University responsibilities, it is necessary to measure and monitor the non-University activities of staff members.
The University of Illinois Policy on Conflicts of Commitment and Interest provides a framework for measuring and monitoring the propriety and advisability of non-University activities of academic staff members.
The answers to many frequently-asked questions regarding the reporting of non-University activities may be found here.
The Report of Non-University Activities form is the University's implementation of state law and University regulations requiring all faculty and academic staff to report their non-university, income producing activities each year. Here you will find the necessary form and instructions.
If you have questions not answered in the Frequently-Asked Questions or need other assistance, you can find information for contacting the conflict of interest officer on your campus here. There is also information regarding available training.
