Remunerative Outside EmploymentA full-time faculty member's primary responsibility is to the university;
however, there are occasions when a faculty member may engage in outside remunerative
employment. Outside employment means work for any nonuniversity entity whether
or not such work is performed on campus, and includes self-employment. Faculty
members participating in outside remunerative employment are to adhere to the
following set of guidelines: The remunerative outside employment should not exceed 20 percent of the
faculty member's time per week. If university space, services, supplies, or equipment are to be used to
perform the outside activity for compensation, and where the work is in the
interest of the university, permission must be obtained from the Office of
Academic Affairs and arrangements made for payment of a reasonable fee for
such use. University nonfaculty personnel will not be used to support remunerative
outside employment activities by the faculty. A faculty member who engages in outside employment will not use the name
of the university in such a manner as to suggest institutional endorsement. Written permission must be granted from the department chair and dean
for each outside activity. If the chair or dean does not grant permission
for a particular activity, the faculty member may appeal to the provost and
vice president for academic affairs. In the instances where university services,
supplies, or equipment are to be used, the faculty member must notify the
chair of what facilities are to be used and why they are needed. Work supported by grants and contracts awarded to the university does not
constitute outside activity. As a rule, a faculty member will not engage
in teaching or research for another institution or agency, except for participation
in university-approved interinstitutional programs. Each college's annual report will include a summary of the college's
remunerative outside employment activities. This policy also applies to persons holding faculty administrator positions.
The mechanisms outlined in this policy may be appropriately modified to fit
the circumstances of individual cases regarding who grants permission and
hears appeals. The appropriate official in such cases will normally be the
vice president responsible for that area of university activity.
