UC Outside Activity Tracking System (UC OATS) Information
OATS = Outside Activity Tracking System
- What is UC OATS: UC OATS is an easy-to-use, web-based application through which university faculty members can report outside activities and income, in accordance with UCOP conflict of commitment policies. It employs a simple, yet interactive format that facilitates the collection of information about outside professional activities, and helps faculty understand the related policies.
- What is Conflict of Commitment: A conflict of commitment occurs when a faculty member’s outside activities interfere with the faculty member’s professional obligations to the University of California.
- What are Outside Professional Activities: Outside professional activities, compensated or uncompensated, and regardless of financial interest, are defined as those activities that are within a faculty member’s area of professional academic expertise, and that advance or communicate that expertise through interaction within the industry or community, or with the public. Outside professional activities are distinct from non-professional activities, i.e., activities that are part of the faculty member’s private life, and are not expressly governed by University regulations, or by the guidelines on outside professional activities. Outside professional activities must not interfere with a faculty member’s obligations to the University.
