Faculty Workloads in the Age of COVID-19 Executive Summary

The Tennessee University Faculty Senates (TUFS), in collaboration with our member institution Faculty Senates and the Center for Organizational and Human Resource Effectiveness (COHRE) at Middle Tennessee State University, conducted a survey in Fall 2020 to assess faculty workloads across the state universities in Tennessee. The results shed light on faculty workloads and the particular pressure COVID-19 put on the work of university faculty in Tennessee.
