(a) The boards of trustees of the state institutions of higher education are authorized to grant permission to employees of those institutions to conduct, on and in campus facilities, certain outside work for private compensation as described below which are to be engaged in only after they have discharged fully their employment responsibilities to those institutions. (b) However, in each instance where permission is granted, the governing board shall have the nondelegable duty to make express findings of fact that: (1) The activity in question involves no conflict of interest with the mission and purpose of the institution itself; (2) The activity proposed would bring to the campus a significant number of persons who are potentially future students who might tend to enroll on that campus as a result of their exposure to its facilities and its personnel while engaged in this activity; and (3) The contemplated activity will, as a part thereof, generate funds to be paid to the state institution for housing, meals, and for the use of other institutional resources which will produce significant revenues in support of the auxiliary functions of the particular campus serving its enrolled students. (c) (1) Each permission granted by a board of trustees pursuant to the findings of fact stated in subsection (b) of this section shall, with those findings of fact, be reduced to writing by the board and shall include a statement of charges to be paid to the state institution by the employee as the direct and indirect costs associated with operating and maintaining the facilities which will be temporarily devoted to the particular activity conducted by that employee. (2) The charges shall be paid promptly, by the employee or by the participants at the direction of the employee, to the state institution. (d) In conducting an activity permitted under this section, the employee shall make known in all advertising and other publicity involving the activity that participants are contracting with that employee and not with the institution and that the institution and the State of Arkansas do not assume any contractual obligations for the conduct of the employee's activity. (e) (1) Each employee who is authorized under the provisions of this section to engage in outside work for private compensation on or in campus facilities shall, within a reasonable period of time after completion of the employment, submit a complete financial report relating to the employment to the chief financial officer of the institution.
