KSA's/Required Qualifications
3.5 Faculty Responsibilities The major emphasis shall be on teaching, by working with students in classrooms, distance learning, laboratories, individual conferences, and related activities to help the students develop their interests and abilities to the fullest capacity to become better persons, better workers, and better citizens. To accomplish this goal, the following workloads are expected of faculty.
3.5.0 Classes Faculty teaching loads during the academic year shall include such combinations of on- and off- campus, day, evening, distance learning, and weekend classes as the needs of the college require. Twelve-fifteen (12-15) credit hours and fifteen-twenty (15-20) contact hours per semester are required for all full-time faculty. For the purpose of workload calculations, every lecture hour shall equate to one (1) credit hour and one (1) contact hour; and every laboratory hour shall equate to one-half (1/2) credit hour and one (1) contact hour. When the number of credit hours falls below twelve (12) because of the number of laboratory hours involved, the number of contact hours should be increased to bring the teaching load to the minimum of twelve (12) credit hours (utilizing the standard of two (2) laboratory hours equal one (1) credit hour) or to a maximum of twenty-four (24) contact hours. Faculty teaching loads shall be calculated for the academic year, with a teaching load less than or in excess of normal for the fall semester being compensated for with adjustments in teaching load in the spring semester. A faculty teaching load may also be adjusted by the college to take into consideration such factors as the use of instructional assistance, team teaching, the use of non-traditional instructional delivery systems, special assignments, and curriculum development. Curriculum development should be primarily for the development of a new program or new course in a program and/or the complete revision of an existing course or program. Teaching-load adjustments shall be expressed in terms of an equivalent teaching load for the purpose of computing a faculty member's total teaching load.
3.5.1 Office Hours To promote the availability of faculty to work with individual students, all full-time faculty members are required to post on or near their office doors a minimum of 10 hours per week as office hours to be available to work with students on their individual academic and occupational problems. All adjunct faculty are required to provide for student advising and related activities. Each adjunct faculty member shall ensure that all students have been informed of the contact details including location and time. Exception due to distance learning, off-campus assignments, or use of technology to serve students may be approved by the Academic Vice President or designee. 3.5.2 Teaching Faculty Assigned Temporary Administrative/ Professional Duties Regular nine and twelve month teaching faculty may be temporarily assigned non-teaching duties (released time) for administrative/professional activities of more than 50% of an individual's full-time teaching load for a maximum of two academic years by the college president. Faculty assigned more than 50% released time for non-teaching duties for more than two years must be classified as administrative faculty unless an extension beyond two years is approved by the Chancellor. The college shall maintain a record of all released time for audit purposes.
3.5.3 Additional Activities Faculty responsibilities include committee work, student activities, community activities, student advising, and professional activities. 3.5.4 Professional Activities and Contributions In addition to teaching effectiveness, faculty are expected to engage in and contribute toward the good of the college and its community. This requires that faculty members maintain current competence in their disciplines or specializations and that they share their expertise, time, and talents with the larger college community. Performance in this category will be measured not only by membership or affiliation but also by the quality of the contributions made by faculty members toward these endeavors. Such activities may include but are not limited to:
Membership and activity in professional and civic organizations (general and/or specialized organizations at the local, state, and/or national levels);
3.5.5 Academic Freedom and Responsibility (SB) To ensure the college an instructional program marked by excellence, the Virginia Community College System supports the concept of academic freedom. In the development of knowledge, research endeavors, and creative activities, college faculty and students must be free to cultivate a spirit of inquiry and scholarly criticism. Faculty members are entitled to freedom in the classroom when discussing their subjects, but should be careful not to introduce topics unrelated to their fields. Faculty and students must be able to examine ideas in an atmosphere of freedom and confidence and to participate as responsible citizens in community affairs. The System also recognizes that commitment to every freedom entails attendant responsibilities. Faculty members must fulfill their responsibility to society and to their profession by manifesting academic competence, professional discretion, and good citizenship. When they speak or write as citizens, they will be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As professional educators, they must remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, exercise appropriate restraint, show respect for the opinions of others, and make every effort to indicate that they are not an institutional spokesperson.
Nursing faculty must also meet the Virginia Board of Nursing requirements as set for by the Regulations for Nursing Education Program as outlined in 18 VAC 90-27-10 et seq.
