Work Load - Teaching Faculty Sample Clauses
The "Work Load - Teaching Faculty" clause defines the expected teaching responsibilities and duties assigned to faculty members. It typically outlines the number of courses, credit hours, or contact hours a faculty member is required to teach during an academic term, and may specify additional obligations such as office hours, advising, or committee participation. This clause ensures clarity and consistency in workload expectations, helping to balance faculty duties and prevent misunderstandings regarding teaching assignments.

Normally, the semester load will be fifteen (15) hours, but the annual thirty-hour (30) load may be distributed unequally between the two semesters: e.g., eighteen (18) hours the first semester and twelve (12) hours the second semester. All hours in excess of the annual thirty (30) hours, however, will constitute an overload. Full-time faculty members may teach up to two overload classes per semester (or 6 credit hours, whichever is greater). The faculty member may appeal to teach over this limit to the appropriate ▇▇▇▇ or the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will consider exceptions based on institutional need. All qualified faculty members will have their turn in a continuing rotation. Once all full-time faculty have been assigned load, all remaining sections are available for overload. All full-time qualified bargaining unit faculty shall have the "first right of refusal" for all overload sections. Full-time bargaining unit faculty shall also be notified and have first right of refusal for any sections added after the official published deadline. Full- time bargaining unit faculty shall be deemed qualified for overload sections by meeting the minimal qualifications as established by the college. Each ▇▇▇▇ will inform all full-time bargaining unit faculty of overload sections in writing and provide an overload request form to each qualified full-time bargaining unit faculty. On the form each faculty member may prioritize or decline the available course sections for which he/she is qualified. Deadlines for returning forms and requests will be determined by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. For full-time bargaining unit faculty, seniority shall prevail on overload assignments on a continuous rotational basis. Clarification of rotational basis for overload assignment can be found in the Faculty Handbook.
