External professional
activities for pay
The Board of Governors' Policy on
External Professional Activities of Faculty and Other Professional
Staff, last revised on April 16, 1993,
defines
and establishes reporting procedures concerning external professional
activities for pay undertaken by full-time members of the university
faculty and professional staff. Such procedures ensure that external
professional
activities for pay will not create a conflict of commitment or interest,
will not involve any inappropriate use of University resources, will
not make any use of the name of the University of North Carolina for
any purpose
other than professional identification, and will not claim any university
or institutional responsibility for the conduct or outcome of such
activities. The following highlights are of special note:
- Failure to comply with policy requirements may result in disciplinary
proceedings.
- A separate written application to engage in external professional
activities for pay must be filed for each such proposed activity.
- If the approved activity will extend beyond the end of the fiscal
or academic year in which it was begun, permission to continue
the activity
must be obtained
in a timely manner.
- An employee who files a notice of intent to engage in external
professional activities for pay must complete a form that summarizes
all such activities
in which he or she engaged during the immediately preceding fiscal
year.
- For those on academic year contracts, professional activity
for pay performed between the day following spring commencement
and the
first
day of registration
for the fall semester need not be reported if the activity does not
conflict with the Board of Governors' policy and it is not conducted
concurrently
with a contract service period for teaching, research, or other services
to the
institution during a summer session. Pay is defined as compensation
other than a small honorarium or the reimbursement of expenses. Generally,
royalties from
scholarly books are not covered.
A Notice
of Intent form is to be filled out by all faculty
and professional staff who wish to engage in external professional
activities for pay. Forms are available from the department chairpersons
or the appropriate
dean.
