Faculty Load

• Create better incentives for teaching larger classes
• Evaluate load disparity taking into consideration out-of-class responsibilities or lack thereof
• Increase teaching workload of all faculty
• Institute “load banking” (where faculty teach overload for future paid leave) on a “one-for-one” basis
• Have only part-time faculty or consultants teach continuing education courses
• When classes are cancelled, have faculty “owe” that class in the future
• Limit funds available for substitutes
• Do not allow substitute instructors for the first day of absence
• Eliminate substitutes and have faculty cover for each other
• Limit release time
• Introduce a self-funded faculty sabbatical program
• Substantially curtail sabbatical replacements
• Defer sabbaticals for one semester or more

“Reeling and writhing of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied, “and the different branches of arithmetic—ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision.”
- Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
