Board of Regents Policy: Outside Consulting, Service Activities and Other Work

The primary missions of the University that define the professional activities of the faculty* are teaching and learning, scholarship (including research and artistic creation), and service to the University and to the wider community. While these missions are usually complementary, they sometimes generate conflicting demands on faculty time.

Faculty responsibilities for teaching, scholarship, and administration, for example, must frequently be met off campus, at odd hours, and often exact commitments of evenings and weekends. Similarly, as faculty members respond to the needs of the wider community, they may be required to spend some time on "outside activities" during the "ordinary" working week.
