VII. Course Load Redistribution Policy
Be it resolved that as it is the sole authority of faculty to establish
promotion and tenure guidelines and the mechanisms for evaluating faculty
performance, the Faculty Affairs Committee of IUN, charged with creating policy
for evaluating the one course release policy for active faculty research,
recommends the following:
1. All procedures and processes that appear in the Post Tenure Review Policy,
which have been accepted and approved (including the appeal process) by the
Faculty Organization, apply to this process.
2. Standards of review and evaluation stated in the Promotion and Tenure
Guidelines may not be superseded by this process.
3. Department and discipline-specific guidelines regarding expectations for
research should be clearly articulated in a statement available to faculty.
4. Responsibility for identifying faculty who are unable to meet expectations
for a course load reduction for research, and for developing a remediation plan,
falls to the Chair, Dean, and/or Director of the faculty member'
s academic unit.
5. In the case that a faculty member does not meet the requirements for a course
load reduction for research, as determined by the unit head per #4, s/he enters
into a remediation process, as prescribed by Post-Tenure Review guidelines. An
unsuccessful remediation process, or voluntary choice, ultimately results in a
course load increase. After two years of full load teaching, the faculty member
may again receive a reassignment upon presenting a research plan and with the
agreement of the chair/dean of the academic unit to which s/he belongs. This
process may be repeated a maximum of three times during an academic career at
IUN before the course load reassignment becomes permanent.
6. As teaching on the IUN campus is highly valued and central to our mission,
course load redistribution should be respected as a choice and an opportunity
for faculty who prefer to emphasize teaching over research.
