AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Board of Higher Education Act by adding a new section that requires the Board of Higher Education to establish, through formal rule-making, a maximum limit on the number of classes that a teaching assistant (TA) can teach independently without direct supervision from a professor, instructor, or teacher. Teaching assistants are typically graduate students who help professors with instructional duties in colleges and universities. The purpose of this bill appears to be ensuring educational quality and appropriate oversight by preventing teaching assistants from being solely responsible for too many classes. By mandating that the Board set a specific limit through official rules, the legislation aims to create a standardized approach to defining teaching assistant responsibilities across higher education institutions in the state.
