Returned to Committee

Policy 10.08: University of Northern Iowa Policy on Distributed Learning and Intellectual Property Rights was last updated in 2003 (https://policies.uni.edu/1008). The Educational Policies Committee (EPC) proposed a set of “round #1” changes, and these were approved by the Faculty Senate on 4/26/21 (https://senate.uni.edu/current-year/current-and-pending-business/policy-...). At that time the Faculty Senate also requested some additional clarifications.

The RSP office has created a policy concerning workload certification that extends control over faculty activities beyond the scope of most grants or external funding agencies.
The policy can be found here: https://rsp.uni.edu/effort-certification
The policy directly relates to how much time a faculty member must spend on a given project without regards to the particulars of a given funding agency or acknowledging the possibility that said faculty member has any right to determine appropriate work levels.
