Course Reduction Clause Samples

Course Reduction. Beginning in AY 2021-22, full-time Lecturers with four or more years of service shall be eligible to apply for a one-course teaching reduction for the purpose of creating high-quality instructional material that could not be created without the course reduction. Lecturers accrue service for each consecutive academic year spent in-residence meeting their full responsibilities. The eligible Lecturer must apply for their course reduction by written request to the relevant ▇▇▇▇ by January 15 of the academic year preceding the year in which the course reduction is requested. The Lecturer may apply for subsequent course reductions at the earliest following four year of continuous service after the year in which a course reduction was granted. Such requests must include a description of the nature of the proposed activity, what materials will be generated by the extra time afforded, why such materials could not have been created without the course reduction, and how the activity advances the University’s teaching mission.
