Instructional Workload Clause Samples

It typically outlines the number of courses, contact hours, or credit hours to be taught within a specific period, and may also address additional obligations such as office hours, advising, or committee participation. This clause ensures clarity regarding workload expectations, helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes about teaching assignments and associated responsibilities.
