11.09 Conflicts of Commitment
A conflict of commitment may arise when employees undertake any outside activity that interferes with their ability to operate at the expected level of job performance. University employees should therefore carefully consider whether the outside activity, i.e., political office, would require a level of time and commitment that could impinge (or could reasonably be conceived as impinging) on the ability to meet the requirements of their University position. Before employees undertake such an outside activity, they must disclose the intention to their supervisor, who will forward this notice of intention through the proper channels. The University President will have the final authority in approving such outside activity.
