Outside Professional Activities 18.6.1 The nature of the professional competence of many Members affords opportunities for the exercise of that competence outside the Member's regular university duties, on both remunerative and non-remunerative bases. Recognizing that such professional activities can bring benefits to and enhance the reputation of the University and the capacity of Members, the University agrees that Members have the right to engage in part-time professional activities, paid or unpaid, provided that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the Member's obligations, duties and responsibilities to the University as defined in this Agreement, except as provided in clause 18.6.3 and subject also to the following conditions:
(a) When a Member's outside activities involve the use of the University's facilities, supplies or services, their use shall be subject to the prior approval of the University. Costs for such facilities, supplies or services shall be borne by the outside group at prevailing rates set by the University, unless the University agrees, in writing, to waive all or part of such costs.
(b) The name of the University shall not be used in any related professional activity unless agreed, in writing, by the Vice-President: Academic, although nothing shall prevent the Member from stating the nature and place of his/her employment, rank and title(s) in connection with related professional activities, provided that he/she shall not purport to represent the University or speak for it, or to have its approval unless that approval has been given in writing.
(c) A Member shall, upon written request from his/her ▇▇▇▇, provide all information on the nature and scope of related professional activities of a substantial nature, in so far as the information relates to a Member's duties and responsibilities as specified in this Article 18.
