The details presented in this document’s “Procedures Statement” section are sufficient to understand how faculty workload is calculated and the basic method for calculating adjunct hours of service. This section, “Background and Rationale,” presents the underlying assumptions, the usefulness of faculty workload units (WLU), and the guidelines established for adjunct hours of service (ahs).
Kentucky State University historically has tracked faculty workload using credit hours and time-based units of measurement to track overload and distribution of effort. The system of faculty workload units (WLU) presented above incorporates several assumptions of the historical approaches to measuring faculty workload and overload in the credit hour system. It is helpful to state the historical assumptions here. The only new addition is related to the number of weeks in a sub-term.
Assumption Qty 1 Metric 1 Qty 2 Metric 2
A semester (sem) is the equivalent of 15 semester weeks (semwk). 1 sem = 15 semwk
A sub-term (sub) is the equivalent of 7.5 sub-term weeks (subwk). 1 sub = 7.5 acwk
A credit hour (cr) is the equivalent of 2 faculty work hours (fwh) per academic week for a semester course. 1 cr = 30 fwh
A faculty workday (fwd) is the equivalent of 10 faculty work hours (fwh). 1 fwd = 10 fwh
Adjuncts are paid at $900 per credit hour, up to $2700 per course. 1 cr = $900 $
