If a faculty is teaching in a different unit than they are budgeted, should part time replacement dollars be shifted?
Given the great importance of showing teaching effort in appropriate colleges and institutes, it is important for faculty funding assignments to be correctly shown. For example, if Professor “A” teaches in Unit “B” for a semester, a TAD (Turn Around Document) should be submitted moving his assignment to Unit “B” for that semester. In turn, budget dollars directly corresponding to that assignment would be moved from Unit “A” to Unit “B”. In turn, the Deans or Directors for those affected Units should reach an agreement as to what, if any, part time funds may be available to Unit “A” since the professor’s assignment has been moved. Often, part time replacement dollars are shifted from Unit “B” to Unit “A” for this reason. But again, it is up to the affected units to reach these decisions and notify the Office of Budget and Planning.
