Faculty Workload Policy
The Faculty Workload Policy describes standard workload expectations to assist Department Chairs and/or Vice-Chairs/Program Directors in setting faculty loads and responsibilities that allow faculty to accomplish the quality and quantity of work for which they were employed. The policy helps ensure consistency from one department to the next and from one faculty member to the next. The policy also helps ensure faculty resources are effectively employed to support the University’s primary instructional mission and to support the variety of work instrumental to accomplishing the University’s mission.
