Flexible Load Assignment (2008-2009) applications
Due to the DEO - Friday, October 26, 2007
Due to the Dean - Friday, November 2, 2007
The following materials must be submitted to the Dean’s Office:
- the Application Form for Flexible Load Assignment, completed by the applicant and signed by the DEO (please contact Billie Townsend at 5-3994 or billie-townsend@uiowa.edu to obtain the Application Form,
- the faculty member’s one page summary of the work to be accomplished during the assignment, and
- the faculty member’s updated CV.
Many departments have established their own requirements (often including a more detailed prospectus, similar to a CDA application) and have processes for internal evaluation. Departments may continue these practices, but need not forward the additional materials to the College.
Please ensure that your faculty members understand the two major stipulations of this program. First, faculty receiving a flexible load must maintain a normal presence on campus during the flexible load semester (i.e., only occasional travel). Second, faculty must show some teaching (at least one student for one semester hour) during the flexible load semester.
