The University will not enter into any contract supporting research for the purpose of killing, maiming or incapacitating human beings through chemical, biological or other types of military warfare.
The University will not enter into any contract which would restrain its freedom to disclose (1) the existence of the contract, or (2) the identity of the sponsor (Clause (2) shall not apply to anonymous gifts or grants that do not call for the performance of specified lines of inquiry, or to research grants or contracts from individuals or nongovernmental entities who request anonymity out of a justifiable motivation to protect individual privacy.).
The University will not enter into any contract which would restrain its freedom to disclose the purpose and scope of the proposed research (1) to permit informed discussion concerning the appropriateness of such research within the University and (2) to apprise colleagues in immediate and related disciplines involved.
The University will not enter into any contract which requires the approval of any outside person or agency prior to publication and dissemination of the results of the research unless, in the opinion of the Review Committee and the Vice President and Provost, such restrictions are relatively minor and outweighed by important scholarly, scientific or educational benefits.
