The initial teaching load will be 8 courses over 2 semesters (4-4), with a possible reduction to 7 courses in subsequent years. The faculty will be expected to teach 2-3 sections of “Ethics for Professional Responsibility” each semester, with the remainder of the load being in the faculty’s area(s) of competence.
