[Unit Heads], Department Chairs, or Division Chairs are responsible for establishing procedures and for supervising the use of secretarial services in individual departments.
It is appropriate for department secretaries to type articles for journals, papers to be presented at learned gatherings, and manuscripts as long as such publications are not expected to bring direct remuneration to the author. The criteria for eligibility in such cases would be enhancement of professional or university prestige. Such work may be done during regular working hours and on a time-available and priority basis, with the understanding of all concerned that this work also constitutes normal university business.
Secretarial services supported by State funding and State payrolls are not to be used for the preparation of theses, dissertations, or like documents which have for their purpose the obtaining of a master's degree or a doctorate.
