JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY
OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT POLICY & DISCLOSURE FORM
Revised: August 06, 2018
Jacksonville University Faculty Bylaws state,
“Individuals accepting full-time faculty employment at Jacksonville
University recognize that their primary professional responsibility
is to the fulfillment of their obligations to Jacksonville University.
Full-time faculty engaged in outside employment shall inform their
immediate supervisor of such employment, make certain that this
outside employment does not represent a conflict of interest with
employment at the University, and not accept an employment
schedule that could or does present a conflict with duties and
responsibilities as full-time employees of the University” (1266-
1272).
Underscoring the primary professional obligation of full-time faculty to the University, the
Jacksonville University Outside Employment Policy specifies that approval is based upon
assessment of the degree to which outside employment adheres to University policy, poses
conflicts of interest, and/or presents conflicts of commitment. Outside employment includes
compensated work such as consulting, serving on a paid board of directors, teaching elsewhere, or
paid work for a business. Jacksonville University believes that no member should engage in any
outside activity that is beneath the dignity of the professional community, or so time-consuming
as to undermine his/her ability to carry out his/her duties as a member of the faculty.
Faculty may identify their affiliation with Jacksonville University when engaged in activities
outside the University. Faculty should make reasonable efforts to ensure that indication of their
university affiliation in outside employment or professional practice does not reflect institutional
endorsement of any action or position taken by the employee.
Faculty are required to seek University approval for outside employment by completing and
returning this form to her/his respective dean by September 1, indicating whether or not the
member has accepted employment outside of Jacksonville University. Should outside employment
be considered for any opportunity occurring after September 1, the faculty member must complete
and submit a form to her/his respective dean as soon as possible.
