C 'READER
Faculty
Workload
Studied
Hempstead, N. Y.-
(1.P.) Those who say that
college and university
faculty are overworked don't
know what they are talking
about. But then again,
neither do those who say
that professors do not work
hard enough.
The plain truth, according to
Dr. Harold Yuker, director
of the Centerf or the Study of
Higher Education at Hofstra
University, is that nobody
knows what faculty
workload really is, although
the schedule of teaching and
administrative assignments
obviously has something to
do with it.
Dr. Yuker came to his
conclusion after a study of
hundreds of articles on
faculty workload and
productivity. "Many
colleges and universities
will lighten the schedule of
air instructor teaching a
graduate course," notes Dr.
Yuker. "But graduate
courses involve no more
faculty time than un
dergraduate ones. The
available literature in
dicates that the actual hours
spent in the classroom, in
preparing lessons and in
evaluating student per
formance is the same
regardless of the level of the
course involved."
In like manner, a large class
does not necessarily mean a
greater investment of time
by a teacher. More im
portant factors are the type
of subject matter
(mathematical vs. literary,
for example) and the mode
of presentation--(laboratory
vs. lecture).
Most educators agree that
faculty workload--which
generally determines sal
ary, promotion and tenure --
musttake into account more
than instructional hours
alone. Scholarly research,
improvement of
professional expertise by
reading or by attending
seminars, public activities
which advance the state of a
discipline, and informal
contact with students all
are, to some degree or
another, activities which
should make a faculty
member more valuable to
his students or his In
stitution.
Yet, "although many for
mulas for the calculation of
faculty workload have been
developed, they should be
approached with caution,
since they are frequently
based on unproven
assumptions, and they
ignore , individual dif
ferences among faculty and
subject matter," states Dr.
Yuker.
