CAS and, I believe the other colleges are currently revising their teaching release policies. I’ve asked the deans for the current drafts, and will add them below as I receive them.

Dear Deans –
I’m writing as Senate Pres, to ask that you provide the Senate with a copy of the current draft of your college’s course release policy, so that I can distribute it to the Senate before our October 5 meeting.
Thanks,

Dear Bill,
I’m responding to your request below for college course release policies. Attached are our proposed methodology and metrics in CAS, which we’ve drafted after discussions among the CAS deans and with the Wise Heads. We will be discussing the proposal with Academic Affairs and United Academics before it’s final.
All the best,
Karen

Dear Bill,
I’m sorry to say that A&AA does not currently have a draft school policy on course releases. We are currently working on developing/drafting such a policy, which will be available to share and circulate in due course.
best wishes,
