Off-Campus Activities
It is the policy of the University to encourage the faculty to participate individually and collectively
in the religious, cultural, and welfare activities of the community. Faculty are qualified to assume
positions of leadership and to provide technical assistance to community organizations. The
importance of this relationship to the University and community can hardly be overestimated. The
University will profit as greatly as the community. Naturally, community activities should not be
undertaken to the extent of impairing effectiveness as a member of the faculty. Neither should
faculty members force themselves to participate in activities without having an intrinsic interest in
them. If, however, a place in the community can be found where faculty members can make a
positive contribution to any of its many important activities, they will at the same time be
improving university-community relations.
