Statute of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
TITLE II - University bodies and regulations
Art. 22 - Academic positions. Ban on cumulation of responsibilities. Incompatibility. Eligibility for election. Full-time positions
The terms of office begin upon appointment. In the event of an election resulting from early termination, the newly elected remains in office for an entire term.
The members of the Academic Senate and the Board of Directors cannot hold other academic positions, with the exception of the Rector limited to the Academic Senate and the Board of Directors, and for Department Directors limited to the Academic Senate itself. Furthermore, they cannot be members of other bodies referred to in art. 9 of this Statute, nor can they hold functions or carry out the activities referred to in art. 2, paragraph 1, letter s) of Law no. 240/2010.
The members of the Board of Directors and of the Academic Senate cannot hold any position of a political nature for the duration of their mandate, nor can they hold the office of Rector or be part of the Board of Directors, the Academic Senate, the Evaluation Board or the Board of the Auditors of other Italian state, non-state, telematic universities. It is forbidden to perform functions related to the planning, financing and evaluation of university activities in the Ministry and ANVUR.
The status of fixed-term professor is incompatible with the exercise of the following academic positions: Rector, Pro-rector Vicar, Pro-rector of Reggio Emilia, member of the Board of Directors, Department Director, University School Dean, Doctoral School Director, Study Program President, Director of Service Centre and Interdepartmental Research Centre, member of the Board of Discipline. The status of fixed-term researcher is incompatible with the exercise of the office of member of the Board of Directors and member of the Board of Discipline. To be elected, professors and researchers must have opted for the full-time regime or have submitted a declaration of option prior to the vote to be valid in the event of appointment.
The passive electorate for academic positions is reserved for personnel who ensure a number of years of service at least equal to the duration of the mandate before the retirement date or, in the case of temporary employees, before the end date of the contract.
Temporary professors and researchers cannot carry out freelance and self-employment activities that lead to situations of conflict of interest with respect to the university to which they belong or that harm its dignity and decorum. Full-time professors and researchers can carry out, with the authorisation of the Rector, teaching and research functions, as well as institutional and managerial tasks without subordination constraints in public and private non-profit organisations, provided that these do not give rise to situations of conflict of interest with the home University, and that the activity does not represent a detriment to the didactic, scientific and managerial activities entrusted to them by the home University.
