Subject: statements of economic interest

This year the University Ethics Officer has informed a huge number of
faculty members, not just department heads, that they are required to
file Statements of Economic Interest with the Secretary of State.

When asked for an explanation, the University Ethics Officer blamed the
Office of University Counsel. When asked for a copy of the memo, the
University Ethics Officer said that she hadn't actually ever seen it,
but that she had heard about it from her predecessor.

Is it true that the Office of University Counsel had something to do
with this? If so, who at the Office of University Counsel should I
discuss this with?
