Change in Overload Pay for Full-Time Faculty

During last week’s Faculty Senate meeting, we announced that full-time faculty teaching courses as overloads will receive a flat rate of $12,000 per three-credit course (or $4,000 per credit) starting in summer 2024. This change comes in response to hearing from deans and faculty members that the overload pay amount needed to be increased. After considering a variety of models, we selected this approach to simplify the previous calculation that used a percentage of base salary and to nearly double the payment amount. 

Wishing you all the best for the final week of the semester. We hope to see many of you at the Faculty and Staff Holiday Reception tomorrow!
