11.02 General Procedures

No Curator, officer, faculty member, employee or volunteer of the University shall engage in any:

11.02.1 Outside Interests
Knowingly engage in any outside matters of financial interest incompatible with the impartial, objective, and effective performance of their University duties. They shall not use their decision-making authority to realize personal or political gain in any form or which would influence improperly the conduct of their University duties. They shall not knowingly use University property, funds, position or power for personal or political gain.

11.02.2 Use of Confidential Information
Use confidential information obtained in the course of or by reason of his/her employment or official capacity in any manner, with intent to result in financial or political gain for himself/herself, his/her spouse, his/her dependent child in his/her custody, or any business with which he/she is associated.

11.02.3 Disclosure of Confidential Information
Disclose confidential information obtained in the course of or by reason of his/her employment or official capacity in any manner with intent to result in financial or political gain for himself/herself or any other person.

11.02.4 Financial or Political Gain
Use his/her decision-making authority for the purpose of obtaining a financial or political gain which materially enriches himself/herself, his/her spouse, or dependent children, by acting or refraining from acting for the purpose of coercing or extorting from another anything of actual pecuniary value.

11.02.5 Selling, Renting, Leasing of Property
Participate in any matter, directly or indirectly, in which he/she attempts to influence any decision of the University, when he/she knows the result of such decision may be the acceptance of the performance of a service, or the sale, rental, or lease of any property to the University for consideration in excess of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) value per annum to him/her, to his/her spouse, to a dependent child in his/her custody, or to any business with which he/she is associated, unless the transaction is made pursuant to an award on a contract through the bid process or sale made after public notice and in the case of property other than real property, competitive bidding, provided that the bid or offer accepted is the lowest received and in all such cases the person shall abstain from any consideration or decision on any vote taken on any of such matters.

11.02.6 Outside Compensation
Perform any services during the time of his/her office, appointment or employment for any consideration from any person, firm or corporation, other than the compensation provided for the performance of his/her official duties, by which service he/she attempts to influence a decision of the University.

The employees of the University are hired to perform professional and skilled duties. Any outside employment or business interests must be clearly subordinate to and not interfere with the individual's obligations to the University.

Except during the summer when he/she is not under contract to the University, a full-time faculty member who engages in outside activities for which he/she is remunerated must report each such activity to his/her Department Head prior to,
when possible, the commencement of the activity. If in the Department Head's judgment the activity will interfere with the faculty member's performance of duties at the University or constitute a conflict of interest, it is the responsibility of the Department Head to discuss and attempt to resolve the problem with the faculty member. The Department Head must identify the specific nature and extent of the faculty member's diminished effectiveness or the conflict of interest. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter will be taken to the College Dean who will attempt to reach a resolution satisfactory to both the individual and the administration. If resolution is not possible at the college level, the VPAA will make a determination.

Because 色虎视频 faculty members are hired primarily to teach, outside teaching by full-time faculty members is permitted only with the knowledge of and written consent of the VPAA, except during the summer if the 色虎视频 faculty member is not under contract.

11.02.7 Faculty Consultation Activity
Consultation by the faculty, whether income-producing or otherwise, is the application of professional and scholarly expertise in the external community. It is a significant means of professional improvement as well as a form of community service. However, consultation may, in some instances, also constitute a business interest requiring disclosure and approval when the entity for which the employee consults also transacts business with the University or is in competition with the University, or where the consultation itself competes with the work of the University. The University permits consulting activities that:

1. are related to the professional interest and development of the faculty member or other exempt person;
2. do not interfere with regular duties;
3. do not utilize University materials, facilities or resources except as specifically authorized by the appropriate Dean;
4. do not compete with the work of the University, and are not otherwise contrary to the best interest of the University;
5. do not violate federal or state law; and
6. do not represent a conflict of interest under other policies of the University.

Each department shall make an annual report to the VPAA indicating the aggregate time and the nature of the service performed for each individual engaged in consulting. These reports shall be transmitted annually to the President.
