Workload Equivalents for Research and Advising
Tenure-track Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Campus faculty active in research or creative writing also normally will be given equivalents for appropriate scholarly or creative productivity according to the schedule in Table 2. The review period for research productivity is 5 years. Scholarship points follow guidelines for research for Graduate Faculty Status, referenced in Section 4. Tenured faculty who receive these equivalencies will be reviewed annually by the Chair by means of the faculty member’s Annual Workload Summary Report. Equivalencies above the hours indicated in Tables 2 and 3 below are subject to approval by the Chair and the Dean.
