Academic Workload. In Departments where it is beneficial to do so, there should be a system of allocating academic workload that is fair, equitable and transparent.
Academic Workload. 13.1 Workload of Faculty Employees The normal workload of faculty employees shall include teaching, research/scholarly/creative activities, and service to the University in proportions of approximately 50%, 35% and 15% respectively of each employee's time, as governed by and varied in accordance with past practice. For each faculty a normal workload shall be defined by past practice.
Academic Workload. 1. The academic workload shall be assigned in a fair and equitable manner. To help ensure this goal, each member of a unit shall receive a copy of the Chair’s recommendations to the Xxxx/Director of the Library on workload, including any recommendations for overload payments, as well as a copy of the Xxxx’x/Director of the Library’s decision on these recommendations.
2. The academic workload of a Member in the regular stream includes in varying proportions teaching/professional librarianship, including the supervision of graduate students, scholarly activity including commitments to external granting agencies, administrative duties and other contributions to the University. The academic workload of a Member in the alternate teaching stream may include teaching, clinical supervision, coaching, professional development, and administrative duties.
3. The assignment of the workload shall be communicated in reasonable detail, in writing, to the Member by 1 June by the Xxxx/Director of the Library. The Xxxx/Director of the Library shall request the written advice of the unit concerned at least one month prior to 1 June and the Xxxx/Director of the Library shall normally accept the advice of the unit. The time-tabling of the teaching load/library assignment shall be communicated in writing to the Member by 1 July by the Xxxx/Director of the Library after consultation with the Registrar. For the duration of this agreement the Registrar shall have final authority in time-tabling all courses.
4. The composition of the workload of particular Members may vary with their discipline, and will take into account the capabilities of the Members, the need to maximise their potential and any obligations placed on them within the University's operations, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the assignment of teaching loads, the Deans, in consultation with the academic units, shall consider, not only the number of courses taught by a Member, but the size and type of such courses. It is understood that there will be no rigid formula for course assignments based solely on the number of separate courses taught by a Member.
5. The Xxxx/Director of the Library may include in Members' workloads any teaching/professional library assignment related to their discipline and any administrative activity that the Xxxx/Director of the Library considers necessary for the effective operation of the Faculty/Library or of the University program.
