The provost will be charged to work with the faculty to develop such a system. One model for consideration could be that each year, faculty members select either a “Normal Load” of five courses, and demonstrate teaching and research excellence in and outside the classroom; a “Teaching Load” of four courses, and demonstrate superior teaching and the development of new teaching strategies that can benefit other faculty; or a “Research Publication Load” of three courses demonstrating high-level scholarship that is likely to become a truly significant publication with a major impact on the direction of a field.
