The guaranteed base salary is that guaranteed annually by contract with The Univer-sity of Oklahoma or one of its affiliated institutions. This is to compensate the individual for that portion of his or her time which will be devoted to academic programs and to ensure that the academic programs take precedence over other responsibilities as determined by the Department Chair. The maximum amount of the work week that may be devoted to professional practice activities shall be negotiated annually at the time of annual review with the Depart-ment Chair or if not affiliated with a Department, with the Director of the Center or Institute.
Any agreements are to be in writing.
The Chairman of the Department will allow faculty to have a reasonable amount of time for professional practice activities, in keeping with the terms of this plan. In the case of Department Chairs, the amount of the work week devoted to professional practice activities shall be negotiated annually with the Dean, and in turn, the Dean shall negotiate with the Senior Vice President and Provost. It is the prerogative of the individual faculty member to determine whether and to what extent he or she wishes to engage in professional practice activities subject to negotiation with the Chair. The decision to engage in such professional practice activities by the faculty members will be made with the knowledge and understanding that the fees received for professional services, earned during or outside the work week, are to be included as generated income governed by this policy. University fringe benefits will be computed on the guaranteed base salary.
