The vice president for compliance, ethics, and risk, chief compliance and ethics officer oversees the university’s foreign influence compliance program. As part of this oversight, University Compliance and Ethics performs foreign influence red flag reviews during the potential outside activity, employment, and conflict of interest and commitment disclosure review process and monitors completions for required disclosures outlined in Florida Statutes Section 1012.977 and University Policy 4-504 Reporting Outside Activities, Financial Interests, and Potential Conflicts of Interest or Conflicts of Commitment in Research.
University Compliance and Ethics also provides oversight and administrative management of the foreign source gifts and contracts reporting process for identifying gifts and contracts with foreign sources and for submitting the required reports under FSS 1010.25 and Section 117 of the Higher Education Act.
The university website, Protecting Against Foreign Influence, provides an overview of the risks related to inappropriate foreign influence.
