Professors now have a limit of four courses they teach in a semester.
The new limit would be three classes. The purpose of this change would be to increase the amount of time a professor can dedicate to working with individual students, meaning they would be responsible for more office hours and class preparation time. On surface, this appears to be a wonderful change. We know how important it is for students to interact individually with their professors. We are also aware that some professors are currently too busy to spend adequate time with each student from all four classes.
