Outside professional work
The Institute recognizes that from time to time, our teachers may be invited as guests, as adjunct faculty, or as performers at nearby schools or universities. These experiences may foster development and permit faculty to interact with colleagues at other institutions. It is, expected that all full-time faculty members at Pratt Institute will first fulfill their responsibilities to the Institute in teaching, advising (including office hours), and committee participation.
Institute faculty members may engage in outside professional activities which are not part of their educational responsibilities at Pratt Institute, provided that such activities do not interfere with the satisfactory performance of the faculty member’s work obligation as set forth herein. Any full-time faculty member who is considering additional teaching responsibility, either at another institution or in the Institute’s continuing education or professional studies, or any other outside professional work that may interfere with his or her responsibilities as a full-time faculty member, must obtain the prior permission of his or her dean.
The following shall apply to any outside work, whether professional or nonprofessional in nature:
- no equipment, supplies or services owned or provided by Pratt Institute shall be used in conjunction with such outside work, except as provided as part of a separate contract or agreement with Pratt Institute and the individual faculty member;
- faculty members who work in a continuing relationship with any outside employer shall notify such employer that outside work is performed by the faculty member in an individual capacity as an expert and not on behalf of Pratt Institute. Pratt Institute shall receive a copy of such notification.
