State House tightens college teaching to nine hours weekly
Kentucky House budget writers back a tough stance on college faculty, requiring instructors to teach nine hours per week or seek other work. The plan contrasts with the Senate’s 21.9 million dollar raise package and trims higher education funding by more than 100 million. House leader Rep. Heatly cites widespread light workloads at UT Austin, noting 779 of 1,145 faculty taught fewer than two courses last year.
