Benchmarking Data on Out-of-Classroom Faculty Activity: Results from the Expanded Delaware Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity
Presenter(s): Heather K. Isaacs, University of Delaware; Michael F. Middaugh, University of Delaware
Convener: David E. Hollowell, University of Delaware

The Delaware Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity is widely acknowledged as the preeminent data collection tool for analyzing faculty teaching loads, instructional costs, and externally funded research and service expenditures, by academic discipline. However, the magnitude of faculty teaching loads and associated costs, as well as the extent to which faculty engage in funded research and service activity, are mitigated by other out-of-classroom demands on faculty time. This session reports the preliminary results of the first data collection cycle, and ties the information to more traditional Delaware Study measures of faculty productivity.
