Information on Modified Instructional Duties
Full-time faculty members may request Modified Instructional Duties (MID) for one semester when certain personal circumstances prevent them from being able to perform their classroom teaching responsibilities, and when such modifications are found to be in the best interest of the University's instructional program. Eligible faculty include those who are a principal caregiver of a healthy pre-school child (or children), or who are required to care for or assist a member of their immediate family.
MID is not a leave, and does not affect the probationary clock. Approved MID only replaces the faculty's classroom teaching with an alternative work assignment; faculty on MID are still expected to participate in their normal departmental research and service.
See the HOP 2-2240 on Modified Instructional Duties for more informaion.
Process
MID Process
Faculty members who would like to request MID should submit their proposal to the Department Chair. If the Department Chair is in agreement with the request, they will forward it along with an accompanying memo of support to the CNS Facuty Affairs Office.
The Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs will review the proposal and forward it to the Provost's Office for final approval. If the MID request is approved, EVPP will notify the CNS Faculty Affairs Office, which in turn will notify the department.
