This document summarizes a study on academic workloads at Central Connecticut State University. The study examined how changing workloads affect faculty's ability to provide quality education. It found that full-time faculty work over 60 hours per week and spend 6 weeks of summer on academic work. Teaching loads limit pedagogical innovation and keeping current in disciplines. The study recommends reducing teaching loads to 3-3 or 3-4 courses per semester to allow more time for research, curriculum development and student support initiatives.
