教育工作者的合规

Even if you aren’t RSCA active, you still have compliance responsibilities. 下面 are some of the most common compliance issues encountered by faculty.

合规委员会

If your instructional activities include human subjects, living or deceased animals, or biohazardous materials, you may still need approval from the appropriate compliance 委员会. Check the links in the left sidebar for the IRB (人体), IACUC (动物),或 IBC (biohazards) to review the requirements and find application forms and instructions.

大学政策S14-6 [pdf], any faculty member with an IACUC-approved protocol is directly responsible for the welfare of the animals associated with that protocol. 教员也有责任 for meeting all IACUC requirements and safety recommendations. 这一责任 persists irrespective of whether the PI is located on or off campus. 

Once an IACUC protocol is approved, neither the faculty member nor any other personnel can make changes to the protocol without prior written approval from the IACUC unless the immediate well-being of the animal is at stake. 如果教员或职员 make unapproved changes to the protocol to protect the health and safety of the animal, the PI must contact the Campus Veterinarian, Dr. Rosemary Broome, and the IACUC 立即.

FERPA

FERPA protects student records and requires the students' consent to release any information 除此之外,还包括在目录中. 菠菜网lol正规平台 considers the student's enrollment dates and degrees earned to be "directory information" for purposes of FERPA.

Grades and other official student records cannot be provided to any一个 (excluding 军事招聘人员),未经学生同意. It is a best practice only to keep records of these types on the cloud or other online locations and not download them onto a digital 设备.

You should inform them 立即 if your 菠菜网lol正规平台 digital 设备 has FERPA-protected records and Customs and Border Protection seizes it while traveling. 如果你的数字 设备 contains FERPA-protected records and is lost or stolen, please contact the 菠菜网lol正规平台信息安全官 立即.

利益冲突

The Political Reform Act of 1974 limits the decisions that 菠菜网lol正规平台 employees can make 代表加州政府. This legislation prohibits 菠菜网lol正规平台 employees from “making, participating in making, or in any way attempting to use their official position to influence an 菠菜网lol正规平台 decision in which the employee knows or has reason to know that 他们有经济利益.”

The State of California defines a Financial Interest as:

  • Any business entity in which the employee is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any management position.
  • Any business entity in which the employee has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 或更多的, including stock ownership by the employee or the employee’s spouse 或者受抚养的孩子.
  • Any source of income that provides $500 或更多的 in value promised to or received by the employee within 12 months before the decision is made.
  • Any real property in which the employee has a direct or indirect interest worth $2,000 或更多的. The employee’s home is not included in this calculation, but any other investment 财产是.
  • Any donor of a gift or gifts totaling $520 或更多的 received or promised to the employee within 12 months before the decision is made. 520美元的限制包括餐费和交通费 成本,或者其他任何有价值的东西.

If you have a Financial Interest, you must disqualify yourself from any involvement in a decision by 菠菜网lol正规平台 or the State of California. 取消资格包括不参与 in any written or oral communication regarding the decision.
