Work Load During Phase Down. Period Eligible faculty members will reduce their normal work load to 6 credits during each academic year during the elected phase-down period, with no opportunity for overload or research reduction. Faculty Librarians shall work half-time throughout the phase-down period. Participants may elect to satisfy the teaching load in any combination. For instance, a Participant could teach all credits in one semester, or could teach class(es) in both Fall and Spring. Accommodation of teaching preference will be based on need and approval of the department. A faculty member teaching a split load over the fall and spring semesters may propose a modified schedule for office hours. The proposal will require the approval of the Department Chair, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Department Chair’s decision is final and non grievable. Based on the needs of the department, a participating faculty member may teach class during the summer sessions. Any summer class would be in addition to the six credits agreed to in the phase-down period and shall be compensated for each credit hour taught at the rate of 1/36th of participant’s salary.
