Summaries of Faculty Workload
The table below includes data from the 1996-2000 AACTE/NCATE annual reports (Exhibit G-6) concerning mean teaching loads for faculty members appointed full-time in professional education. These data have not been requested for the PEDS report since the 2000 report and they have not been gathered or calculated. It is estimated that current data are similar to these.

Relatively small numbers (app. 10% of the full time equated faculty of the COE) of professional education faculty members are employed as "lecturers," e.g., full-time faculty members not on the tenure track. In general, the lecturers hold one- or two-year term appointments, potentially renewable. A 15-semester hour load is the "norm," although there are provisions both for accreditation considerations and various equivalencies. In general, lecturers are responsible for instruction-related activities but have no responsibility for scholarly/creative activities or service-related activities. Extensive policies governing the employment and use of lecturers are covered in the "Collective Bargaining Agreement by and Between Eastern Michigan University and the Eastern Michigan University Federation of Teachers (EMU-FT)" ("Lecturers Contract") (Exhibit 6.13).
