Presenter: David Godow

Faculty are the institution’s most precious resource, and their activities largely determine the success or failure of the institutional mission. However, most faculty utilization policies fail to focus faculty effort on the highest high-value work that promotes institutional goals.

This webconference will discuss how institutions are making more effective use of faculty time without crude, politically unacceptable “productivity improvement” policies like increasing teaching load or course size caps. It will also explore how metrics are being integrated into unit-level strategic planning and budgeting processes to create faculty buy-in for data-informed decision making

Learn how to ensure departments are maximizing use of available instructional capacity, better align faculty workload policy with institutional priorities, engage units more fully in “data-informed decision making” by connecting use of metrics with their own goals.
