(d) During the portion of the survey archeologist's time contracted for by a cooperating institution, he or she may perform research, teaching, or other related functions as directed by the cooperating institution in accordance with the terms of the contract, provided these other functions shall not be such as to interfere with the effective performance of his or her duties as a survey archeologist.
