WL faculty, exempt staff to receive email today on Reportable Outside Activities; action required by Sept. 15

All faculty and exempt staff on the West Lafayette campus will receive an email today (Aug. 28) requiring them to indicate their status of Reportable Outside Activities.

The following must be completed by Sept. 15:

• Certify that you have no Reportable Outside Activities or have disclosed all that exist; and
• Fill out the Reportable Outside Activities Form if required. 

A Reportable Outside Activity is defined as any work, advice or service for an entity other than Purdue University, including those appointments that may not be required in any particular funding agency’s research proposal submission. Examples include, but are not limited to, any type of faculty or administrative appointment at another university, including honorary, visiting, tenured, tenure track, research, adjunct, contract, paid or unpaid, in-person or remote appointments.

To assist faculty and staff in determining what needs to be reported, the Office of the Vice President for Ethics and Compliance provides a list of frequently asked questions. A Purdue Today story with more information about Reportable Outside Activity is also available online.
