  <title><![CDATA[Faculty and Staff Required to Disclose State Business Activities]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>State law requires that all public officials and employees disclose all
business transactions occurring during the previous calendar year in which the
individual has (1) transacted with the state of Georgia and any agency of the
state of Georgia for himself or on behalf of any business, or (2) any business
in which the individual, or any member of his/her family, has a substantial
interest.</p>

<p>These State Business Transaction Disclosure Reports for 2010 are due on
<strong>January 31, 2011</strong>. If an employee has no business transactions to report, then
it is not necessary for that employee to complete and file the State Business
Transaction Disclosure Report.</p>

<p>The State Business Transaction Disclosure reporting form, along with
instructions that explain what type of business transactions must be reported,
is available at <a href="http://www.usg.edu/legal/docs/bus_transact.pdf">http://www.usg.edu/legal/docs/bus_transact.pdf</a>.</p>

<p>This disclosure is separate from — and in addition to — policies on
institutional and financial conflicts of interest that have been established by
Georgia Tech.&nbsp; A description of those
policies and associated reporting requirements may be found at <a href="http://www.compliance.gatech.edu/conflicts-of-interest-gt">http://www.compliance.gatech.edu/conflicts-of-interest-gt</a>.</p>

<p>Questions regarding this requirement may be directed to the Office of
Legal Affairs at <a href="mailto:asklegal@gatech.edu">asklegal@gatech.edu</a> or
404-894-4812.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
