| Advisory opinion request by Derek Boese regarding whether he may serve as an adjunct instructor at Tulane University while serving as the Chief Administrative Office (CAO) of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority- East (SLFPAE). |
|
Derek Boese would be teaching a course in Critical Infrastructure and creating and teaching a course focused on Planning and Operations Management utilizing military principles in person and online. These courses would be taught after 6 p.m., which takes place after his 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. work hours for SLFPAE.
In his position as CAO of SLFPAE, he is responsible for protection against hurricane and river flooding in a specific area, and oversight over the administrative functions of Human Resources, Finance, Information Technology, Police and Administration for the agency. SLFPAE is not required to perform any education services to the public and he does not direct any business from SLFPAE to Tulane University. There is data that he could use from his tenure with SLFPAE, but it is publicly available information and is the same information he could use from his tenure with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
