Stonehill College recognizes that faculty members, on occasion, are presented with opportunities to engage in academic or professional activities outside the College, for which they are compensated. Such activities may provide valuable experience and enhance the teaching and research capabilities of faculty members. Because the primary professional commitment of full-time faculty members is to Stonehill College, it is important that such activities not interfere with the performance of their duties at the College, as defined in the Faculty Handbook, and must be approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs. When outside employment includes teaching, full-time faculty are generally expected not to teach more than one course per semester at another institution.
- The policy applies to full-time faculty members during the period of their contracts with Stonehill College and to the activities during that period for which they are compensated over and above their compensation from Stonehill College.
- At the time of reappointment each year, all faculty are required to submit a Remunerative Employment Request Form indicating whether they will be compensated for outside employment during the upcoming academic year. The form asks for the following information:
a. the institution or organization;
b. the position held; and
c. the amount of time involved. - The Office of Academic Affairs will inform individual faculty members if their request for outside employment has been approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs
