    5. An academic staff member contemplating an activity listed in paragraph (1) shall report the matter to and seek advice from his or her immediate supervisor before undertaking the activity. A report under this paragraph shall be in writing and shall include a description of the nature of the activity, the estimated time required for the activity, and whether remuneration is anticipated. An academic staff member shall not proceed with a contemplated outside activity until he or she has either received a response or the time limit has expired under paragraph (4).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. In situations where a novel or unique outside activity is contemplated, or where additional advice is necessary, either the academic staff member or his\/her supervisor may request that the Academic Staff Committee, which functions as the Academic Staff Ethics Committee as specified in 51ÁÔÆæ 113.07, provide consultation and advice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. A supervisor who receives a report under this section shall promptly respond to the involved academic staff member, indicating whether or not the contemplated outside activity should be permitted to proceed. If no response is provided within 15 days, the academic staff member may proceed with the activity. In the event there is a difference of opinion between the supervisor and the involved academic staff member as to the propriety of proceeding with the contemplated outside activity, the procedures under UWS 8.04 and 51ÁÔÆæ Chapter 112 may be invoked to resolve the problem.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
