As I currently sit on our campus committee to figure out how to respond to this new state law dictating instructional workloads, this hits close to home.

The Campaign to Make Professors Teach More

Lawmakers say faculty members don’t work enough. Is this about productivity or punishment?

@drb this is a real problem in Canada where tenured faculty agreed to have each other do more and more research while provinces think they are mostly paying them to teach (this lead to sessionalization)

At my institution at least, we are generally not doing a ton of research since we are teaching focused, but that is definitely a consideration.

@drb Institutions which did what they were meant to do, not what the system rewards, often get punished in the reaction (eg. cutting all international student places proportionally not focusing on places that took in too many)
