Consulting

n. advising, counseling; receiving counsel

adj. engaged in the business of providing advice and counsel to other people who are in the same field

v. advise; ask advice; talk with; consider

Consulting by faculty members is defined as the use on behalf of individuals or agencies outside the university of essentially the same scholarly expertise that is used for their university position. Such activity, which for the purpose of this document includes overload teaching, is considered to be consulting whether or not the reward is financial. Exceptions to this are based on long-standing academic traditions and include such activities as the writing of works of scholarship or research, the presenting of invited seminars and lectures, leadership in learned and professional societies, public service participation in government established councils, and adjudicatory bodies relating generally to their university position and experience.
