At University of New Orleans, we consider full time to be fall & spring
semesters, 4 "units" each semester.  One unit = 1 course (or, 1/8).  The
majority of the "research faculty" have a 2/2 course load, which means
theoretically 50% of their time/effort is available for research,
supervising theses/dissertations, and service.   Having said that, we do
have some faculty who, due to their own constraints, may budget for smaller
(or different) increments depending on their circumstances.  For example,
1/9 (instead of 1/8), or 10% (instead of 25%), or whatever suits their
needs.  As long as this time is "available" and we have a Chair and Dean's
signature saying so, we'll let that go.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] What is 100%?

At College of Charleston, faculty carry a 12- hour (4 course) load each
semester.  For faculty evaluation purposes, teaching is generally
considered to be 80% of the faculty member's time/effort, with the
remaining 20% being devoted to a combination of research and service.
 However, in budgeting for grants, we figure one course release at 1/8
of salary.  So we seem to be saying two different things for different
purposes.  But that was the way it was when I got here ten years ago and
looking at pros and cons of changing it has just not been a priority.
 So the results of this query will be interesting....
