Mielke reported that the Provost would endorse giving equal load credit to each faculty member the first year a course was team-taught. The second year load credit would be split between each faculty member. Mielke confirmed the Gen Ed Committee has never discussed whether the load credit should be any different from year to year. It is on the agenda to discuss at the next Gen Ed meeting. It was mentioned that if Administration was going to balance Gen Ed by redefining load credit, the faculty needed to know.
Schools have their own load policies.
A motion was made to ask for a statement in writing from Shepard to help clarify matters a document that would specify the load assessment relative to team teaching and where the funds would come from to fund the Gen Ed program. Motion was seconded. A friendly amendment was made to include a request for the number of load credit hours that will be given for Gen Ed courses in the future. Original model 2. Gen Ed Light 1 3.
