Faculty Workload Policy

Approved September 3, 2004

Updated June 13, 2005

All faculty members are expected to contribute to the mission of the College that is defined as the creation, dissemination, and application of business knowledge. The contributions of each faculty member to this mission may vary. Because research leading to publication in major academic journals (defined by College policy as Top Tier and Examples of High Quality journals) is a high priority for the College and is time consuming, faculty who publish on a continuing basis in these journals normally will have fewer teaching responsibilities than other faculty. Faculty who do not publish regularly in these journals are expected to contribute more to the dissemination mission through additional teaching and/or service responsibilities. Exceptions to this policy require approval of the Department Head and Dean. A list of journals is provided in Section VI of this Handbook.
