Faculty Reassigned Time (By Departments, Through Deans' Offices)
- Funding group: Deans of communication, business, education and Elon College
- Eligible to apply: Full-time permanent faculty
- Scope of funding: Each academic department will administer reassigned course time proportional to the number of its full-time faculty. Reassignments will be given for teaching activities that are not counted as part of the course load, for service (contributions to the life of the University), and for professional activity/scholarship. Examples of these activities are described in the Criteria for Evaluation of Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty (Faculty Handbook, II-8-E-3). It is expected that reassigned time will be distributed in a manner suited to address the University’s, the college’s/schools’ and the departments' objectives and to promote balance among teaching, service and scholarship. To request reassignment, members of the faculty must submit reassigned-time proposal forms to their department chairs in the fall and include the proposals as part of their Unit I development plans. Department chairs will recommend appropriate requests for approval by the deans. Faculty members must describe their progress on approved projects in the following year's Unit I reports.
- Number of reassigned classes in 2009-10: 159
