believe that the university should be a place where people can
work and learn together in a safe environment, free of
violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, and
intimidation. As such, finalists for any faculty position that
carries tenure must sign an authorization and disclosure form,
which will allow current or prior employer(s) to share
information to the University regarding any findings of
employment-related misconduct or disciplinary proceedings
against a candidate and/or any pending investigations related
to alleged misconduct. Such information shall include findings
and pending investigations with respect to sexual harassment,
violence, or harassment; research misconduct; financial fraud
or misconduct; foreign influence violations, grant misuse or
misconduct; and/or any other type of finding or pending
investigation relating to a candidate's employer's policies
and rules governing faculty conduct that may reasonably be
expected to affect a candidate's appointment. If the
University becomes aware of any past finding of misconduct or
pending investigations that were not disclosed, Ohio State
will treat that as a serious omission and reserves the right
to rescind an offer or terminate employment.
