SUBJECT: EMPLOYEE CONSULTING, OUTSIDE PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT, AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The primary mission of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University is to serve the needs of the students through excellence in teaching, scholarly and creative activities, and service to the residents of the community and beyond. The university also has a commitment to allow its employees to make their expertise and services available to business, industry, government, professional societies, and other appropriate entities to the extent that such outside services of a professional nature generally strengthen the individual employee and contribute to the fulfillment of the university's mission. The university encourages the involvement of its employees in extramural activities which are consistent with their primary responsibilities to the institution. The first priority of full-time employees is the accomplishment of the duties and responsibilities assigned to their position of employment within 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University. Outside employment and consulting of such employees are considered as secondary activities which may be engaged in only after their duties and responsibilities to the university are fulfilled.

Consulting and outside professional employment should conform to the following conditions:

  1. It does not interfere with the assigned workload and responsibilities of the employee;
  2. It is reasonable in amount;
  3. It does not bring an employee into conflict with the interests of the university; and
  4. The consulting or outside employment activity is not represented as having the endorsement or sponsorship of the university.

The use of the facilities, equipment, or personnel of 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University for consulting or outside employment activities is prohibited. However, to the extent that university resources are available to the general public, they are similarly available to the employees for activities covered by this policy.

If a finding of conflict of interest is made, the university may require that the employee take steps to minimize and/or eliminate such a conflict.

Part-time professional employees are expected to observe the elements of this policy, and to keep the appropriate officials informed of the general nature of their other professional activities.
