If I have an interaction with a non-U.S. government about my work, do I need to notify anyone at Yale?

In the event that you are contacted by a non-U.S. government in any respect including without limitation receipt of any complaint or other allegation of misconduct, please immediately contact the Office of General Counsel.  In the event that anyone attempts to serve you with notice or process in connection with any legal action against Yale, you should not accept such notice or process and you should immediately contact the Office of General Counsel at 203-432-4949.  For additional information, please consult Yale General Counsel, Service of Process.

Permits or licenses are often required in order to conduct field work at sensitive sites, deal with antiquities, collect samples of biological materials, etc.  If you maintain or require a permit or license to conduct Yale activities outside the U.S., you should coordinate through your business manager to notify and work with the Office of General Counsel and, depending upon the subject matter of your activities, other offices at Yale (e.g. Office of Environmental Health and Safety, the Office of Grants and Contracts).  Any permit or license application on behalf of Yale must be signed by an authorized signatory.
