A. Teaching <strong>Faculty</strong>:<br />
1. Courses Taught by Traditional Methodology:<br />
a. All present department workload policies continue unless<br />
revised under this Section, provided that present policies which identify semester<br />
workloads which can be annualized as the sum of the semester workloads shall be<br />
so annualized.<br />
b. The establishment or revision, as applicable, of any workload<br />
policy may be requested by either the written request of a majmity of a<br />
department's members or directed by the provost/vice president for Academic<br />
Affairs.<br />
i. A member request shall be made to the department<br />
head and shall include the proposed policy or changes and the rationale.<br />
ii. If the provost/vice president for Academic Affairs<br />
directs, the department head shall notify the department members and<br />
provide them an opportunity to participate in the preparation/change<br />
within the time directed by the provost/vice president for Academic<br />
Affairs.<br />
m. Workload policies shall incorporate relevant criteria<br />
including but not limited to the following:<br />
(a)<br />
contact hours.<br />
Semester credit hours, student credit hours, or<br />
In this regard, twenty-four (24) semester hours per academic year,<br />
excluding summer shall be weighed as a standard workload but,<br />
recognizing the differences between colleges and between<br />
departments within colleges, shall be neither a minimum nor a<br />
maximum. For equivalency purposes, twenty-four (24) semester<br />
hours is equivalent to thirty-six (36) contact hours or seven<br />
hundred twenty (720) student credit hours per academic year,<br />
excluding summer semester.<br />
Provided that not more than two-thirds (2/3) of an annual normal<br />
load will be assigned in any one semester unless the member<br />
