In Spring 2022, the Office of the Provost approved the West Virginia University Workload
Guidelines Procedures. Colleges and departments/other equivalent academic units shall
also have a workload document that is approved by the dean and Provost’s Office.
These guidelines ensure that faculty work is equitably distributed, evaluated and
rewarded within academic units.
WVU Workload Guidelines
West Virginia University - Approved 3/8/2022
Each of these guidelines:
- Sets standard workload expectations for all faculty members and provides a rationale for the unit’s approach.
- Identifies factors that may result in a differentiated workload assignment, as well as a general explanation as to why and how a differentiated workload may be assigned.
- Identifies research, teaching and service equivalencies within and across the three mission areas.
- Outlines multiple pathways for faculty in all types of positions to be successful. The department workload documents will provide greater specificity.
