Conflict of interest. The presence of a conflict of interest is independent of the occurrence of impropriety.
Therefore, a conflict of interest can be discovered and voluntarily defused before any corruption occurs. A widely used definition is: "A conflict of interest is a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgement or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest. "[1] Primary interest refers to the principal goals of the profession or activity, such as the protection of clients, the health of patients, the integrity of research, and the duties of public office. Secondary interest includes not only financial gain but also such motives as the desire for professional advancement and the wish to do favours for family and friends, but conflict of interest rules usually focus on financial relationships because they are relatively more objective, fungible, and quantifiable.
Cronyism. Cronyism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications.
Hence, cronyism is contrary in practice and principle to meritocracy. Cronyism exists when the appointer and the beneficiary are in social contact. Often, the appointer is inadequate to hold his or her own job or position of authority, and for this reason the appointer appoints individuals who will not try to weaken him or her, or express views contrary to those of the appointer. Politically, "cronyism" is derogatorily used.[1] Etymology[edit] The word "crony" first appeared in 18th century London, according to the Oxford English Dictionary to be derived from the Greek word chronios (χρόνιος), meaning "long-term".[2] Concept[edit] In the private sector, cronyism exists in organizations, often termed "the old boys club" or "the golden circle", again the boundary between cronyism and "networking" is difficult to delineate.[5]
Nepotism. Nepotism is favoritism granted in politics or business to relatives.
The term originated with the assignment of nephews to cardinal positions by Catholic popes and bishops. Nepotism is found in the fields of politics, entertainment, business and religion. Origins[edit] The term comes from Italian word nepotismo,[1][2] which is based on Latin root nepos meaning nephew.[3] In the Middle Ages some Catholic popes and bishops, who had taken vows of chastity, and therefore usually had no legitimate offspring of their own, gave their nephews such positions of preference as were often accorded by fathers to son.[4] Paul also engaged in nepotism, appointing, for instance, two nephews, aged 14 and 16, as cardinals.
Trek eredoctoraat Winnie Mandela in! Geen eredoctoraat politicus - Archief. Dolly Parton? Michelle Obama? Who should get an honorary degree? Posted at 3:22 PM ET, 10/22/2009 By Valerie Strauss First Lady Michelle Obama is eligible to receive an honorary degree from George Washington University, the student newspaper reports today, because the Board of Trustees just approved her.
It is not yet clear that she will receive a degree, but The Hatchet quotes a school official saying that he expects her to get one in the spring, especially if she agrees to deliver the commencement address. That would certainly be a coup for GWU. Honorary degrees are given by colleges and universities at their commencement ceremonies, though the selection process can take months. The degrees are said to honor someone’s work in their own field.
The Answer Sheet wonders, though, if it is a way for some schools to get famous people to attend their graduation ceremonies. Meanwhile some students say they think that honorary degrees devalue the degree they have worked--and paid--to receive.

Cattrall flew over specially from Canada to receive her honorary degree from John Moores University in Liverpool where she grew up. For Bloom it was also a return to his roots when he turned up for a presentation at the University of Kent.
