Members of the academic staff are free to engage in outside activities, whether or not such activities are remunerative or related to their fields of academic interest or specialization. However, no member of the academic staff may engage in an outside activity if it conflicts with his or her public responsibilities to the University. Policies and procedures governing outside activities are designed to encourage appropriate participation by members of the academic staff in public service or outside activities related to their fields of academic interest or specialization while ensuring adequate attention to their responsibilities. Academic staff members may not be absent from their regular responsibilities, except as permitted by their supervisors under applicable personnel rules, and shall avoid a concentration of outside activities that is detrimental to the effective performance of their responsibilities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
