POLICY STATEMENT
October 24, 1983
Obsolete Policy
Number: 80-13 (Revised)
File: Faculty Workload
SUBJECT: FLEXIBLE FACULTY WORKLOAD
This policy statement, recommended by the Academic Senate at its
meeting of October 9, 1980, and approved by the President on October
29, 1980, and modified in conformance with the Unit 3 Memorandum
of Understanding in August 1983, is as follows:
Faculty/student ratios and FTE Targets and other measures of faculty
workload for departments and schools shall not be established, altered,
or abolished by implementation of the flexible workload system.
The normal indirect instructional activities shall be maintained.
With the approval of the appropriate administrator, individual
faculty members during a certain time period may obtain a reduced
number of Weight Teaching Units (WTU) in direct instructional workload
in some semesters if this reduction can be compensated for in one
of these ways:
1. The faculty member will teach an increased number
of WTU's in direct instructional workload in the subsequent semester;
2. The faculty member will teach some classes
with sufficiently larger than standard enrollment and is given appropriate
indirect workload;
3. Other equitable means or arrangements will
be provided which ensure the condition outlined in the first paragraph
of this Policy Statement; or
4. The variations or deviations from normal workload
standards require that agreement of the faculty member shall be
sought.
Overall equality of opportunity for all faculty members to receive
reduced WTU's in direct instructional workload shall prevail.
All variations or deviations in normal workload plans for individual
faculty members shall be recorded in a written memorandum.
Copies shall be kept by the department, the dean, and the Vice President
for Academic Affairs, as well as by the faculty member. Deans
shall consult each semester with their faculty on the means used
to implement this policy in their departments.
Workload plans may be appropriately revised during the period of
coverage, if warranted by new circumstances.
None of the above shall be interpreted as precluding the award
of assigned time for other under assigned time codes.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
