Feb 13, 2016 at 14:17 comment added Bill Barth @Azor-Ahai, for a semester-based system, it means how many "full" courses per semester a professor must teach or account for. Where by a full course I mean a class that meets 3 hours per week. Typically a professor can either teach those classes or buy out part of their teaching load with research funds or a chair or something similar.

Sep 12, 2015 at 20:57 comment added Bill Barth Seems unlikely that a professor would be paid 0% on tuition dollars and be carrying a teaching load, but I can't speak to academic department budgeting.
Sep 12, 2015 at 20:42 comment added Fomite Importantly, the percentage can also be 0% for 100% soft money positions.
Sep 12, 2015 at 0:45 comment added user10636 "whether the teaching load is a 1-1, 2-1, or 2-2", or 2-3, or 3-3, or 3-4, or 4-4, or 5-4 or . . . . n-m, where n and m are both too damn high.
