XX.E   Outside Interests and Employment

The University encourages its faculty to participate in sponsored research, consulting, and other activities that may benefit not only the individual faculty member, but also the University and society. Although activities directed outside the University are often compatible with teaching, scholarship, and research at Yale, they may in some cases conflict with these on-campus responsibilities or with the University's institutional goals. Outside interests and commitments may divert essential faculty creativity and energy away from Yale and may appear to compromise the integrity of Yale teaching, research, clinical care, or scholarship. Therefore, Yale reaffirms its unqualified commitment to the following key principles:

a. The overriding professional obligation of all full-time members of the University community is to Yale and to its mission of creating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge.

b. No outside activity or financial interest of any member of the University community will be permitted to compromise the integrity of teaching, research, clinical care, and scholarship at Yale, to detract from the fulfillment of that member's fundamental obligations to Yale, or to compromise the welfare of Yale students.

Note also that faculty members should refrain from using University facilities more than occasionally and incidentally in performing any of the outside activities described in this subsection.
