Common use of Instructional Load Clause in Contracts

Instructional Load. It is understood that an instructional LHE comprises three elements: course preparation, delivery of instruction, and evaluation of student work. Variations in LHEs assigned to courses reflect the varying proportion of one or more of these elements. Ordinarily, a load will be 15 LHEs each semester but, depending on institutional needs, the total load may be determined on the basis of both semesters in the academic year (30 LHEs). Ordinarily the regular load in any given semester will not be less than 12 LHEs nor more than 18 LHEs. In those cases where a faculty member routinely must teach in excess of base load in the spring term due to built-in overload, at the request of the faculty member, the ▇▇▇▇ will work with the faculty member in an attempt to find an alternative schedule. See Appendix A - Workload Policy, Article V, p.78. If a load is possible that meets the stipulations below, but the faculty member chooses a load that is inconsistent with them, the faculty member must sign a waiver of the additional LHEs.
