Common use of Faculty Load Clause in Contracts

Faculty Load. If a faculty member is at risk for not fulfilling his/her contract load for a given semester covered by this Amendment One due to low enrollment, the faculty member will be provided with flexible options to fulfill his/her contract obligations without requiring an extra term agreement or application of dynamic banking for the WLU associated with at least one (1) course per tenn. Options may include scheduling new courses within the faculty member's two (2) teaching terms (per the current CBA) and/or arranging release time for approved College projects/initiatives. Per the CBA, full-time faculty will be given preference over adjunct faculty for courses for contract load and overload. Per the CBA, overload will be granted once load is met. If a faculty member chooses to pursue a third term agreement, then that agreement will be paid per the CBA terms regardless of what means were pursued to facilitate the faculty member reaching load status in the previous two (2) semester sequence. Note: any combination of two semesters applies, as is articulated in the current CBA.
