Restrictions

To:  Deans, Directors, Department Chairs, Administrative Officers, and Faculty
Dear Colleagues,
Please refer to the attached guidance from UCOP regarding “University of California’s Systemwide Restrictions on Engagements with Huawei,” issued on July 18, 2019 by Arthur Ellis, Vice President, Research and Graduate Studies, and Alexander Bustamante, Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance & Audit Officer, and ensure it is distributed to appropriate researchers and staff within your respective units.
Under this moratorium, the UC will not accept new engagements or renew existing engagements with Huawei. Campuses are prohibited from purchasing equipment or devices; receiving research grants or contracts; accepting gifts; entering into MOUs, membership or consortium agreements, technology transfers or licensing of UC IP; or exchanging any technical information with Huawei.
UCOP also recommends that campuses consider a moratorium on new funding from Huawei’s US subsidiary, Futurewei. At UCLA, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research will review each new engagement proposal with Futurewei and other Huawei subsidiaries on a case-by-case basis.
Sincerely,
Roger Wakimoto
Vice Chancellor for Research
