Policy AC80: Faculty Outside Professional Activities and Conflict of Commitment
The purposes of this policy are (1) to set forth policies and principles that permit University faculty to engage in activities outside the University (“Outside Professional Activities”) while preserving their primary professional duties and responsibilities to the University and remaining consistent with federal regulations and guidelines, and (2) to provide a basis for reporting Outside Professional Activities of faculty to the University.
The policy requires colleges and campuses to maintain their own guidance under this policy. Those documents are linked below.
