Ohio Administrative Code|Rule 3341-1-09 | Faculty Workload Assignment Policy.

                                                
(A) Policy statement and
		  purpose
This policy was approved by the BGSU board of
		  trustees on May 8, 2015 (resolution 39-2015) to establish a workload policy
		  that supports quality and excellent work of the faculty in the areas of
		  teaching and learning, research and creative work, and professional
		  service.
(B) Policy scope
This policy applies to all BGSU full-time faculty
		  members covered under the collective bargaining agreement between BGSU and the
		  BGSU faculty association  AAUP.
(C) Policy
(1) Annually, each
			 faculty member at BGSU will be assigned duties that ensure that he/she is fully
			 engaged in the university work of providing an outstanding education for our
			 students and building the university's reputation through scholarly work
			 and service. Service should be aligned with the expertise of the faculty and
			 could be outreach in the region and beyond, to the profession, or leadership in
			 university governance. Collectively, the faculty's assignment will be
			 subdivided in the three major areas previously mentioned-teaching, research,
			 and service. The allocation in each area depends on the discipline and faculty
			 member's expertise. A faculty member assignment could be completely
			 allocated in any one of the three areas but, in most cases, a tenure-track
			 faculty member will have assigned duties in each of the areas of teaching,
			 research and service and a non-tenure-track faculty member will typically have
			 assigned duties in each of the areas of teaching and service.
(2) The assignment will
			 be made during the preceding spring term before the beginning of the academic
			 year by the department chair/school director. These assignments must be
			 approved by the deans and the provost. The collective bargaining agreement
			 provides the process for the annual faculty evaluations.
