This essay provides an analysis of conflicts of interest (COIs) that arise in university relationships with private industry and articulates the concept of an "institutional" COI. It compares personal and institutional COIs in order to shed some light on the difficulties universities face in managing their own COIs. The essay discusses some proposed strategies for responding to institutional COIs, such as developing independent boards to monitor and oversee the university's COIs, building firewalls between various parts of the university to prevent financial interests from affecting university functions, creating independent research institutes, and prohibiting some types of university investments.
本文分析了大学与私营企业关系中产生的利益冲突,并阐明了“机构性”利益冲突的概念。为了揭示大学在管理自身利益冲突时所面临的困难,本文对个人利益冲突和机构性利益冲突进行了比较。本文讨论了应对机构性利益冲突的一些建议策略,例如设立独立委员会来监督和管理大学的利益冲突、在大学各部门之间建立防火墙以防止经济利益影响大学职能、创建独立研究机构以及禁止某些类型的大学投资。
