Pursuant to Kansas Board of Regents and WSU Policy, all employees are required to annually disclose certain external interests, activities and consulting arrangements. The university has an internal platform designed for the collection and review of all such disclosures. The platform can be found in the myWSU portal under “Employee Required Training.” Employees who have not yet completed a disclosure will be prompted to complete the disclosure in its entirety. Employees who have timely previously completed a disclosure will simply be prompted to review and certify the accuracy of their prior submissions. Employees must complete and submit their disclosures by end of day Wednesday, April 30.

For additional guidance on how and what disclose, please review the conflict of interest “Frequently Asked Questions.” For any additional questions, email coi@wichita.edu.

As a reminder, in addition to the annual disclosure process, WSU employees are required to disclose new external interests, activities, and consulting arrangements as soon as such situations become known.
