Workloads

Academic Workload Taskforce 2014
As a result of our 2013 negotiations an Academic Workloads taskforce has been set up. Initially the information about making submissions on your workload came out from both the TEU and the University before Christmas with a cut-off date as 14 February 2014. Due to a change in circumstances the submissions period has been extended to the end of March.

We encourage you to make a submission if you feel your workload is too large. We encourage you to attend any of our TEU time slots to hear the conversations from other members and participate in open, frank discussion with the Task force. You can email your submissions to teu@massey.ac.nz and we will forward them on to the members of the task force.
