Policy Regarding Flexibility in Teaching Assignments for Full-Time Faculty

Full-time Faculty instructional assignments do not require a minimum number of weighted teaching units (WTUs). Teaching assignments for full-time tenure-track faculty and full-time lecturer faculty shall be characterized by a principle of flexibility. Decisions regarding faculty instructional assignments reside with college deans (via delegation from the provost) after consultation with department chairs and/or the individual faculty member. Ordinarily, colleges, departments and programs will be permitted to meet their full-time-equivalent-student (FTES) targets and curricular objectives through flexible use of teaching loads, course schedules, number of sections, and section sizes.
