UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine faculty participants
in the Plan are obligated to contribute through their individual efforts
to the overall financial support of the Plan. A complete copy of the
SFT Cost Recovery Guidelines can be viewed here. Participants shall
not retain any net income from professional services except as listed
below.
Income which faculty may retain:
- Royalties
Shares of proceeds for contributions as authors or inventors, as allowed
under the University's patent policy. (Interpreted to include fees
received for writing short reviews for scientific journals and material for
inclusion in book manuscripts. Fees received for services as a journal editor
may not be retained.)
- Honoraria
Payment by agencies outside the University for occasional lectures and
similar public appearances beyond normal academic responsibilities
and which are not in return for other services, whether given directly
or indirectly (includes fees for lectures, seminars, or presentations
to other educational institutions or to veterinary medical and other
professional associations.)
- Prizes
Gifts in recognition of personal past achievement and not for services
rendered.
- University Extension Fees
An occasional lecture or course participation beyond normal academic
responsibilities not to exceed eight lectures per academic year;
or coordination of a short course not over one week in length, not
to exceed one course per quarter. (Where the services involve a continuing
or regularly recurring commitment to University Extension activities,
the faculty member's Department Chairperson shall determine whether
redistribution of his or her regular workload is appropriate to accommodate
these activities. In such cases due recognition shall be given in
merit and promotion recommendations.)
- Certain Consultantships
Occasional service (excluding patient-care service), not to exceed
three days of such service per quarter, to governmental agencies
or non-profit health or education-related organizations including
service as an expert witness, when such service is of substantive
academic benefit to the University in the judgment of the Chancellor
acting upon the advice of the Dean.
- Administrative Stipends
Payment by the University for responsibilities related to University
administration beyond normal academic responsibilities. (Included
are stipends paid to Department Chairpersons, Assistant and Associate
Deans, and Directors, including those serving on Assistant or Associate
basis.)
- Salary from Non-University Employment Involving Professional Services
When, within the scope of his or her full-time University duties, a
participant in this Plan agrees to accept an appointment which provides
a salary from an outside source, the President may implement administrative
procedures that will allow the individual to retain such income provided
there is a corresponding reduction in the University salary. In those
cases where an outside salary is retained in lieu of receiving from
the University a full SFT salary, the outside salary may be treated
as University compensation for the purpose of determining eligibility
for and extent of employee benefits.
Income which is received, but which may not be retained, must be turned
over to the SFT Plan. However, where travel and other expenses incurred
in rendering the services are not separately reimbursed, the faculty
member may retain income sufficient to cover these expenses. The net
income must then be turned over to the SFT Plan.
Checks written by outside parties for consultant and other services
may be made payable (a) directly to The Regents of the University of
California; (b) to the faculty member, who then endorses them over to
The Regents; or (c) to the faculty member, who in turn writes a personal
check payable to The Regents. To facilitate individual income tax reporting,
it is suggested that checks to be turned over to the Plan be made payable
directly to The Regents rather than to the faculty member. Alternative
(c) is advantageous where travel and other expenses are not separately
reimbursed and only net income will be turned over to the Plan. Checks
(and cash when received) should be forwarded to the Research Office of
the School of Veterinary Medicine, which will issue a receipt and credit
the amount to the SFT Plan. (Revised 07/2001)
