Management Commitment Statement

It is OHIO’s policy to abide fully by federal laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”), Office of Foreign Assets and Control (“OFAC”), and all other applicable export and import regulations, including those in the U.S. and abroad.

The Department of Commerce, Department of State, Treasury Department, and other federal agencies regulate these items, which may require university personnel to secure appropriate authorization such as a license before the items or information can be exported to another country or shared with foreign nationals working on or visiting OHIO’s campus. With the full cooperation of all faculty and staff in support of these policies and programs, OHIO will manage and minimize risks associated with our international mission. As part of our strategic vision to increase international collaboration, OHIO has implemented export and import internal controls that improve compliance and better support our international mission. Specifically, Ohio University has:

• Established an Export Compliance Committee
• Appointed Empowered Officials pursuant to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations
• Implemented policies and procedures for international shipping and receiving of material and technical information
• Developed roles and responsibilities for export control on all campuses
