Policy for Review: Course Buyouts

The University Committee on Administrative Policies has posted a new policy for review: the Course Buyout Policy. Grants and other sponsored programs often allow the prinicpal investigator to buy a course release in order to complete the work of the grant. This policy establishes the cost of a course buyout, where the money for the buyout goes, and other important guidelines around this issue. We invite the campus community to comment on the policy proposal at https://jcu.edu/university-committees/ucadp/ucadp-polices-review

The committee will review all comments at an upcoming meeting. Responses will be sent to respondents who sign their comments. Responses to anonymous comments are posted with committee minutes in the JCU Faculty & Staff Shared Drive. The thirty-day comment period is open until January 17, 2024. Questions regarding the posting of comments may be directed to the committee chairs at Todd Bruce, rbruce@jcu.edu, or Rebecca Drenovsky, rdrenovsky@jcu.edu
