FACULTY LOAD AND OVERLOAD Sample Clauses
The "Faculty Load and Overload" clause defines the standard teaching or work responsibilities assigned to faculty members, as well as the conditions under which additional duties, known as overloads, may be assigned and compensated. Typically, this clause outlines the number of courses or credit hours that constitute a normal workload and specifies the process and pay rates for taking on extra classes or responsibilities beyond this standard. Its core function is to ensure clarity and fairness in workload expectations and compensation, preventing misunderstandings and overburdening of faculty.
FACULTY LOAD AND OVERLOAD. A. Regular Load Regular load for faculty is fifteen (15) load hours per semester plus ten (10) office hours per Article 36. Faculty load will include a combination of classes to bring their load to at least fifteen (15) equated hours. Faculty whose load is calculated by clock hours will be thirty-five (35) hours per week which includes ten (10) office hours per Article 36. Faculty who teach classes that begin in one term and conclude in another will have the load for that class split between the two terms for purposes of load calculation. The faculty member and the ▇▇▇▇ will agree in advance of the assignment on how the hours are to be split. This will not change the calculation of winter/summer session load as defined in Article 17. All assignments of faculty to classes that carry over from one term to another shall be voluntary and shall take place within the same academic year. For purposes of determining load, department chair hours will be counted first followed by instructional load hours, instructional alternative load, and then non-instructional alternative load last.
