Overload beyond the normal faculty workload assignment of instructional contact hours shall be limited as determined by the Academic Dean so as not to erode the quality of the learning environment.
An overload assignment shall occur when the assigned instructional contact hours for a fulltime faculty member exceed the workload limitations and may be necessary from time-to time due to faculty availability and student needs.
If a full-time faculty member is asked to accept an overload assignment during a given semester, there shall be a comparable adjustment in the workload assignment for the subsequent semester within the academic year.
To the fullest extent possible, faculty members will not be asked to teach an overload unless they agree to the terms.
