C.  Outside Activities  

No employee shall engage in any outside employment or activity which substantially interferes with regular duties.  Any outside employment involving time or honorarium must have prior approval of the Executive Head of OSU.  The Faculty Handbook defines and discusses regular work duties and outside activities, paid and non-paid.  

Federal accounting rules limit faculty members on Federal grants to a maximum of 5% of their time on matters not directly involved with the research for which they are funded, even if those activities are of benefit to the University.  This rule can limit participation in Committee work and other University matters.
