Philosophy and Purpose of Reduced Workload Status Recognizing that faculty members have a variety of personal and professional goals as they approach retirement, the Association and the College have adopted reduced workload status for those full-time tenured faculty members who wish to reduce their teaching load for a predetermined period of time before retiring from Xxxxxxx College of Art and Design of Xxxxxx State University. Despite being on reduced workload status, a faculty member continues to be treated as a member of the bargaining unit for all other purposes. Reduced workload status is not designed for faculty members who must reduce their teaching or other activities due to illness or disability and thus does not replace or take precedence over the policies governing sick leave or disability. Instead, reduced workload status is designed for those faculty who wish to transition to retirement. While teaching a reduced number of courses, the faculty member must continue with all other responsibilities in Article 3.1. including, but not limited to, institutional and community service, and professional and/or scholarly activity. If a faculty member wishes to just teach after retirement, the College may hire the faculty member as an adjunct faculty member.
