On the Workload <strong>of</strong> Faculty<br />
WillardB. Bleything, O.D., M.S.<br />
An increasing need for higher education to address the issue <strong>of</strong> faculty load, particularly with regard to health pr<strong>of</strong>essions<br />
education, has prompted this comprehensive review <strong>of</strong> the literature on the subject under three separate discussion topics.<br />
Part I: Defining Faculty Workload<br />
Teaching effectiveness, time analysis <strong>of</strong> work, equity <strong>of</strong> load, cost analysis,<br />
<strong>and</strong> accountability all must be taken into account when defining faculty workload<br />
Part II: Elements <strong>of</strong> Faculty Workload <strong>and</strong> Their Relative Weightings<br />
A single indicator as classroom instruction presents a considrably limited<br />
view <strong>of</strong> faculty workload—several other indicators, such as research <strong>and</strong> public service,<br />
are needed to present a complete view.<br />
Part III: Faculty Load Formulas<br />
A number <strong>of</strong> formulas have been attempted to produce a precise index <strong>of</strong><br />
faculty workload; these are explored in an effort to find a measurable balance<br />
<strong>of</strong> a faculty member's responsibilities.<br />
