An article from Today's Chronicle "Hebrew U. Develops Program to
Encourage Entrepreneurship Among Professors" states that Hebrew
University of Jerusalem has created a program to encourage its
scientists to develop high-tech computer and software startup companies.

Some at our University have expressed interest in allowing on-campus
research for "startup" companies in exchange for stock in the company in
lieu of paid research costs.  I have conflict of interest concerns with
the proposed arrangement.

This article seems to indicate that MIT and Hebrew University of
Jerusalem have hound a way around the potential conflict issues. Where
can I locate a copy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
arrangement on which the Hebrew Univeristy plan is modeled and What are
your thought on the idea?
