and Administrators, as revised.)
Extra compensation through the University should
not be paid for undertaking research during the academic year. Similarly,
extra compensation should not be provided for undertaking unusually heavy
teaching responsibilities in the regular academic programs of the University.
Such unusual overload should be offset by corresponding lighter loads in
a future semester.
Extra
compensation may be provided when a faculty member:
-
has been appointed to an administrative post in addition to his or her
faculty appointment and for which additional salary has been authorized
by the dean or provost;
(1) holds a nine-month appointment and teaches in summer programs
of the University;
(2) holds a nine-month appointment and receives a summer salary from
the University for other than teaching purposes, in which case the faculty
member may receive up to one-ninth of his or her academic base salary times
the number of months spent in full-time service on the project during the
months of June, July, and August. The normal pattern is two-ninths additional
salary for two months' work and one month's vacation. In some cases, if
the granting agency approves and the faculty member takes no vacation three-ninths
may be paid. But in no case will payments exceed one-third of the base
academic salary.
teaches in evening, extension, and specialized or supplemental programs
which may be established from time to time provided:
(1) They are conducted by a faculty or a school of the University;
(2) The function of the program serves an extramural purpose for which
the need is broadly recognized;
engages in clinical practice in an established group practice within the
University, the University hospital, and affiliated hospitals.
is asked to engage in "internal consulting" where services essentially
of an intramural consulting nature are required for very short periods
of time within a semester and where reduction in departmental loads is
not feasible. The rule excluding extra compensation may be waived by the
provost. Extra compensation may be paid only in cases which meet all the
following criteria:
-
The time involved would be limited to approximately four days per project
during an academic year, and the total time for all intra-university consulting
or research (for extra compensation) would be limited to eight days per
academic year.
-
The work must not interfere with the regular work of the department or
of the individuals concerned.
-
The work must either have been unforeseen at the time the faculty member's
duties for the period were planned, or no feasible alternative means could
be found for absorbing it into his or her work schedule.
-
The administration of such arrangements must include an exchange of correspondence
between the chairs of the departments involved prior to the start of the
work as well as approval by the provost.
In addition, home department chairs or other appropriate
immediate superiors should be made aware of all activities undertaken by
faculty members for extra compensation, with a view to prevent conflicts
of interest and to avoid excessive overall commitments. |
