For Faculty

Workload Administrative Procedure

Updated: February 24, 2022

All Tenured, Tenure Track, and Professional faculty members must comply with the faculty workloads indicated in their appointment letters unless a change has been approved by the Dean’s Office.

The Dean’s Office will evaluate curricular plans, enrollment, and faculty workload assignments during the annual planning process to ensure faculty members are meeting College and School obligations.

Procedure

Directors are responsible for ensuring that faculty meet their workload expectations as indicated in their appointment. Any modifications to faculty workloads (e.g., sabbaticals, other leave agreements) must be submitted to the Deans Office for review and approval before changes are allocated.
