(A)
Policy
statement
The university of Toledo recognizes the
work of its tenured and tenure-track faculty to be of utmost importance to the
accomplishment of its mission. Recognizing also that measurement of that valued
contribution is essential to the welfare of the institution and its
stakeholders, the policy of the university of Toledo will be that each
department chair, college dean and unit leader develop a faculty workload
measurement methodology which will be translated into credit hour equivalent
per semester ("CHE/s").
(B)
Purpose of
policy
To set forth requirements for the
measurement and reporting of faculty workload.
(C)
Scope
This policy applies to the tenured and
tenure-track faculty of the entire university and all colleges within the
university and is in accordance with section
3345.45 of the Revised Code and
resolution 11-02-02 of the board of trustees ("faculty workload
policy").
(D)
Procedure
(1)
The dean of each college, in consultation with the
department chairs, will develop appropriate equivalencies between research and
other forms of inquiry, service, classroom and other teaching to allow
recording and reporting of CHE/s. Records of the work of individual faculty
members, departments, colleges, and other units will be maintained and be made
available to the provost or chancellor annually or upon
request.
(2)
These workload measurements and records will be a
necessary part of all requests for new faculty lines (any track), part of all
offer letters, and a necessary part of annual budget hearings at the
department, college or unit level.
(3)
Faculty workload
should be part of the post-tenure review process or professional assessment
process described in rule
3364-72-52
of the Administrative Code (post tenure review) or the applicable collective
bargaining agreement. Should reported measurements indicate an inadequate
workload, a special post-tenure review ("special review") or special assessment
will be performed in accordance with the applicable policy or collective
bargaining agreement.
