Given much of what has been said on this issue, I think the only definition that really makes sense is that "company time" is any time during which the professor is doing tasks that are within the scope of her employment. That is a circular definition, of course, reflecting the fact that the scope of employment test is a multi-factor balancing test where no one factor is dispositive. In the case of a university professor, the issue of company time simply won't be very important because of the pecular circumstances of academic employment.

Therefore, again I ask:
Would someone please define "company time" for a university professor?

That's one reason why it's not dispositive.
