PRIVATE PRACTICE AND CONSULTATION. The Board encourages faculty members to participate in outside professional activities that contribute to their professions, to the broader community, to the expansion of South Dakota’s economic and cultural resources and generally to the system’s public service mission. Engagement with the outside community is also an important component of the academic enterprise and one way in which faculty members and other researchers maintain contact with research directions and priorities that exist in the private sector. This knowledge also guides faculty members in preparing students for careers in the private sector. Although consulting may enhance faculty member service in their instructional and research roles, the consulting process also harbors the potential for diversion of faculty member effort from primary activities and responsibilities. Consequently, the prerogative of engaging in consulting activities is subject to checks and balances to assure that authorized consulting serves the larger goals of the State, its institutions of higher education, including faculty development, without compromising the timely, effective performance of primary responsibilities.
