coe-staff: Externally funded course buyout rate remains at .15 for FY 19

[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I write today to inform you about our continuance of the buyout rate established last year (See excerpt from our TTF workload policy below related to course buyouts).  This decision is the result of numerous discussions among faculty, administrators, OVPRI staff, OPAA staff, and others.  We will revisit this rate annually to ensure that it remains appropriate.

Regards,

A. Course buyouts
A course buyout permits a TTF to gain release from a single course assignment
(or equivalent) in order to assume administrative duties or external professional
service appointments, or to devote an equivalent amount of instructional time
(e.g., teaching a course) in another academic unit or conduct externally funded
research. The COE course buyout rate document in effect on the date the course
load reduction is first approved will be used as a guideline to determine the
internal or external buyout rate for a faculty member.
1. Internal course buyout: A buyout funded from another unit within the
university.
a. When a COE faculty member receives a course buyout from another UO
unit (i.e., outside the COE but within the university), the amount the COE
or the home unit receives from that unit should be at or above the
approved COE rates, which are periodically set in the COE course buyout
rate guidelines.
b. When a COE faculty member receives a course buy out from another
unit within the COE (e.g., COE EDUC courses, or a non-home department
course), the amount the COE EDUC home or the other COE department
home unit receives from that unit should be at or above the approved COE
rates, which are periodically set in the COE course buyout rate guidelines.
c. When a COE unit buys out a non-COE UO faculty member, the amount
paid is subject to the buyout rate set by, or negotiated with, that unit.
Approval is required from the Department Head and depends on adequate
funding.
2. External course buyouts arise from external grants, contracts, designated
operations, foundation, or research funds controlled by an individual faculty
member and should be at or above the COE rates, which are periodically set in
the COE course buyout rate guidelines.
