- The following is a statement, in part, of section 3.4.4 of the Bylaws of the Board of Regents:
Assignment of Duties. The service and teaching obligations for each full-time member of the instructional staff in any semester shall consist of such amounts of one or more of the types of services necessary for a successful University program, including teaching, research, directing and supervising research, advising or counseling, committee assignments, administrative duties, field work, extension activities, and other miscellaneous assignments as may be deemed reasonable in each instance by the department chair and Dean or director concerned, within standards approved by the Chancellor, the President, and the Board. - The normal allocation of effort for all Research Assistant, Associate, and (full) Professors in the GKSOM is as follows: teaching (15%), research/creative activity (75%), and service (10%). Merit recognition and reduction in teaching load may be provided for efforts beyond the customary expectations. The development of new courses; the continuous refreshment of old courses; recruitment/retention; and service to the School, the College, the University, and the profession are normal parts of the ongoing duties of all faculty members.
- Faculty members wishing to alter their official allocation of effort must negotiate individually with the Director of the GKSOM. Quoting from the Bylaws of the Board of Regents:
The specific apportionment of a faculty member’s responsibilities shall be reviewed periodically. Either the faculty member or the responsible unit administrator may initiate discussions of changes in apportionment of teaching, extension, service, research, and administrative responsibilities. In the process of any such discussions, both the faculty member and the unit administrator shall act in good faith to reach a mutual agreement.
