UCI Employment Misconduct Disclosure Questionnaire and Authorization of Information Release

UCI Employment Misconduct Disclosure Questionnaire and Authorization of Information Release

Required by finalists as a condition of academic employment.
The UC is committed to maintaining, building, and supporting an inclusive, healthy, and safe work environment for all to thrive in. To that end, it has pre-employment processes that gathers information about current or past conduct that may impact a workplace or its members. Within its review, the University aims to determine whether such conduct has an impact on an individual’s ability to perform the underlying duties associated with their proposed employment at UC.

The submission of this form indicates that you have been informed by a member of the University that you are under serious consideration (a finalist) for work opportunities at UCI. All information received is treated confidentially and will be subject to applicable retention policies. UCI wants to make sure that you understand the questions found on this form. If you are unsure about the meaning of any of the questions or the definitions found below, please reach out to your hiring department. Should you require further assistance, please contact aprefcheck@uci.edu.

Note: If you are a UCI graduate student who is enrolled in an academic degree program, please DO NOT submit this form. You may instead complete your submission here: https://form.jotform.com/UCIAcademicPersonnel/UCI-MDR-GradStudentEmp. Thank you.

  regarding the candidate’s Misconduct that is recorded in a judgment or order
  of that court.
Appeal is defined as:
