Massachusetts S938 mandates disclosure of conflicts of interest for faculty and staff in academic institutions.

Massachusetts S938 requires academic institutions to establish written conflict-of-interest policies for faculty and staff. These policies must mandate public disclosure of any financial relationships with entities other than their primary employer or a government agency. The board of higher education will collaborate with the state ethics commission to issue guidelines for these policies, considering existing practices and best methods to minimize conflicts of interest.
