(c) The standard teaching load for Faculty Members who do not demonstrate a level of scholarship appropriate for their discipline and rank will be increased to 3.0 full year credit courses or equivalent. The ▇▇▇▇, in consultation with the Chairperson, shall assess the Faculty Member’s scholarship for a two year period immediately preceding the academic year in which the 3.0 teaching load is to take effect. Any such increase shall be in effect until the faculty member applies for reinstatement of the 2.5 teaching load and the ▇▇▇▇ and the Department support reinstatement. (d) In those cases where the teaching load has been increased to 3.0 full year credit courses or equivalent, and in those cases where the ▇▇▇▇ and Chairperson disagree on the reinstatement of a 2.5 full year credit courses or equivalent teaching load, such cases shall be referred to the University Review Committee.
