From Board of Regents Bylaws, Section 3.4.5

Outside Employment. Staff members employed on a part-time basis by the University, such
as practicing lawyers or physicians, may engage in outside employment or activities unless it
is expressly stipulated to the contrary in the conditions of employment.

Staff members employed by the University, other than those covered in the preceding
paragraph, shall be encouraged to engage in professional activities outside the University as a
means of broadening their experience and keeping them abreast of the latest developments in
their specialized fields; provided such activities do not interfere with their regular duties at
the University, or represent a conflict of interest. Staff members may accept temporary or
occasional employment for such professional services when such employment is recommended
by the Dean of the college or director of the division involved and approved by the Chancellor.
Specific approval of the Board is required before members of the full-time professional staff:

(a) Accept retainer fees or other remuneration on a permanent or yearly basis as professional
consultants.
(b) Accept professional employment requiring more than an average of two days per month
during the period of their full-time employment.
(c) Charge fees for work performed in University buildings with University equipment and
materials.
(d) Provide professional services for remuneration to departments or agencies of state
government.

Nothing contained in Section 3.4.5 shall, however, prevent the Board from continuing the
Medical Service Plan at the University of Nebraska Medical Center adopted March 5, 1972, and
the Dental Service Plan at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, adopted January 16, 1982,
or from making amendments, changes, or alterations thereto.
