Listed Reason

I have agreed to give a 30 minute presentation on REEF polling on Tuesday 2/23. I will be describing my experience using REEF polling in my classroom during the Fall 2015 semester. I do not currently use REEF and I do not intend to use REEF in the future. They recently offered me an honorarium of $ for my participation, but I am not interested in jeopardizing my job here at UT for a silly seminar.

Additional Comments

The seminar will only last 30 minutes. I have yet to receive any money. I am trying to determine if I am allowed to accept this honorarium.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
