The Equity Workload Working Group has representation from each school (SADAH, SOM, STAD), and collaborates with Dr. Dawn Culpepper (Facilitator), the respective School Director, and faculty in their unit. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact, as we work together to address concerns raised by faculty in CVPA and in the recent Climate Study. Our primary goal is to ensure that workloads are more equitably distributed among faculty, and to provide a better sense of agency in developing and accessing those workloads. Ultimately, we hope to promote a healthier work/life balance for all.

The project will be implemented over the course of the 2023-2024 academic year, and each member of the working group will receive one course release for their year-long efforts.
