Conflict of Interest Practice Statement:
The Community Education Advisory Council has established the following “Conflict of Interest Practice Statement”. When instructors use the  Community Education program as a source of new customers for the products they sell, or services they provide, a conflict of interest occurs.
“I, the instructor , agree to offer a program to community individuals regarding the specific subject matter, for the enjoyment of the activity, or as a form of self-expression, or to provide information and education about the topic of interest as promoted by Community Education. I will not use this class to gain new clients/customers or for my own personal self-interest.”  
Community Education instructors cannot promote their own products/ services or advertise during the class period. Community Education instructors may not use the class rosters to solicit business before, during and/or after the class has been conducted.
All students enrolled in this class are informed that instructors are prohibited from using classes for their own personal gain. For example, if students request a business card, this IS permissible, but should be handled after class and not as a part of the class curriculum.

Failure to Comply:
Failure to comply with this list of expectations will result in  the instructor being barred from teaching Community  Education courses in the future.
