REQUEST FOR APPROVAL FOR EXTERNAL EMPLOYMENT
8.26 EXTERNAL EMPLOYMENT
External employment is defined as a faculty member's participation for financial gain by means of any job, private business or in the conduct of any profession during the specific starting and ending dates as stated in the faculty member's contract.
External employment must be approved by appropriate administrators. The "Request for Approval of Outside Employment" form must be filed prior to engaging in any external employment. This form may be secured from the chairperson or immediate supervisor. Failure to submit request for approval shall lead to censure or dismissal.
Faculty members may be called upon to assist outside agencies, firms, or individuals in connection with matters within their area of professional competence during periods in which they are employed full-time by the University. Such consulting arrangements are encouraged by the University and may be sought out and entered into by faculty members, provided that:
1. The assistance provided is not part of their normal responsibility to the University;
2. The work undertaken contributes to their professional development and/or to the benefit of the University;
3. The work can be accomplished without interference with their assigned duties and does not involve more than one day per week, nor exceed five days in any five week period;
4. University resources and facilities are not involved.
