Common use of Load Reduction Clause in Contracts

Load Reduction. ‌ A faculty member might be granted a reduction in instructional workload. The amount of workload reduction shall be dependent upon the duties performed by the faculty member and shall be determined by the Chief Academic Officer of the College. Such reduction shall not be made in an arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable manner. Where faculty members are given load reduction within the instructional workload for any activity other than teaching, the number of hours required for the activity will be equal to twice the contact hour reduction with the proportional reduction in office hours of one hour per three contact hour equivalent load reduction. These reductions in instructional workload will be posted with the appropriate number of hours, responsibilities required, and compensation offered.
