Employment as a professor at LSU and somewhere else

I've taught as an adjunct and no one took a part of my pay.

What would be the reasoning behind them being able to do that?

I was skeptical at what I heard hence why I asked the question. If anyone with knowledge of health and human sciences at LSU might chime in, that was the specific college.

They may be talking about the retirement plan. They have a separate retirement system and don't pay into social security. In that case, if you have a second job that does pay into social security, you get a reduced social security check when you retire. It sucks and it's unfair, but that's the law.

You get what you put in.

From what I was told it was related to percentage of pay at the other job. Again, sounds ridiculous which is why I was hoping someone with direct knowledge could chime in.

There's more to it than that. You actually pay a penalty on your social security earnings. Plus your spouse doesn't get a survivor benefit.

You have to disclose outside employment and be prepared to address potential conflicts of interest. But they can't take away pay so long as you are still doing the same amount of work.

this.

In my experience, if you come up with an idea or invention while working there, they take some type of cut. That's how it was for two projects I worked on, but I wasn't the professor, so idk.

As far as actually being employed elsewhere or consulting, they don't take money

Cool. I appreciate the responses y'all.
