Faculty Workload: Towards a More Equitable Assignment and Evaluation

This paper reviews selected literature on workload, noting critical issues and efforts directed at a more equitable estimation, assignment and evaluation of faculty workload. It underlines the need to consider all factors and aspects of faculty work in assigning and evaluating workload. A flexible approach to evaluation is advocated since faculty have different strengths and interests and departments have different demands and requirements. It is also suggested that flexible formulas may be applied in evaluating faculty at the College of The Bahamas and that they need not be measured in an identical or uniform manner.
