<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have finally read through the Faculty Workload Policies that I received. Of the 27 departments, 8 did not respond to my request for information over their policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The attachment summaries what I gleaned from the department heads responses and from reading the policy of those who did respond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It looks like the majority of department’s have not constructed a policy to fit their own department. Most seem to simply resort to the general University or College policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Doctoral departments all seem to provide course reductions for dissertation mentor work (based on the number of students mentored).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A handful of departments (maybe 3-4 it seems), have somewhat explicit policy stating course reductions can be had for significant scholarly, administrative, or service work. After the course reduction, documentation
must follow to demonstrate that the time was used productively.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The departments whose policy seems to be the best (most explicit in defining workload), based on those sent to me, seem to be History, Political Science, Physics and Nursing. I have attached those policies
here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
