Standards of Conduct--LEAA Employees' Teaching at American University

The document addresses the question of whether there would be a conflict of interest if three LEAA employees were to teach at American University, which has received grants and funds from LEAA. The conclusion reached is that there would be no violation of the Department's Standards of Conduct, as the teaching assignments would not involve official duties, draw on official data, or create an appearance of conflict of interest. The document also presents a concise summary of the questions surrounding the potential conflict of interest and the standards of conduct that would apply to the situation.
