Faculty:
At UW-Madison physics faculty teach half-time, one course per semester. Additionally, faculty who are members of WIPAC (Karle, Halzen, Westerhoff, Vandenbroucke) are relieved of teaching for one semester per year. Thus faculty are on research except for the time spent on teaching one course per year.
