Abstract
Creating an equitable faculty workload model is an ongoing concern. This research evaluated the effectiveness of and satisfaction with a new faculty teaching workload model 1 year after implementation. Data were collected through secondary analysis of faculty assignment spreadsheets, online survey of all full-time nursing faculty members, online survey of college of nursing administrators, and financial analysis. Individual faculty teaching loads were not consistent with the workload model. Tenure-track faculty members were assigned higher workloads than the model. Faculty members strongly preferred to have input into their schedule. Both faculty members and administrators identified strengths and opportunities for the model. Creating equitable faculty assignments is complex. Administrators and faculty members need to establish a mutual understanding of the process used to calculate equitable workloads and protect time for service and scholarship commensurate with faculty rank.
