Purpose:Release time is the reallocation of elements of faculty load to other duties, as illustrated by, but not limited to, administration, curriculum development or special programs. When faculty members are released from all or part of their full-time teaching duties, such time is allocated to special projects (release time), and the total salary paid for such release time assignments and full-time teaching duties shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the total remuneration paid under their full-time teaching contract.
