semester, teaching responsibilities not met because of

must be reported as leave, regardless of whether a
qualified instructor covers the aforementioned
responsibilities.
• Teaching responsibilities include class time preparation,
actual classroom instruction, and scheduled office hours
to students for educational guidance.

and should be updated as they are taken for best
work practices.
