Full
Time Faculty Contract and Duties
|
| Contract:
Full time faculty are On Contract beginning the Monday of the week
prior to the start of each long semester. Workload: Under Board Policy D‐3, Faculty Workloads, each full‐time faculty member is “expected to share responsibilities related to the total concerns of the College. Such responsibilities include instructional development, faculty meetings, committee and task‐force assignments, registration duties, student advisement, other assigned responsibilities, and appropriate self‐directed professional activities.” This policy also says that the “total responsibilities of (full‐time) faculty shall require at least 40 hours per week…” Under Administrative Rule 4.03.004, “teaching assignments (for full‐time faculty) may include teaching during the day or evening or weekends and at more than one location.” When teaching lecture courses, the full‐time workload for the academic year (Fall, Spring, and Summer) is 36 LEH (lecture equivalent hours) during a 10.5 month contract (15 LEH in the Fall, 15 LEH in the Spring, 6 LEH in the Summer), or 30 LEH during a nine‐month contract (15 LEH in the Fall and 15 LEH in the Spring). Only hours above the 36 or 30 are considered an overload, overload hours will be paid at the adjunct faculty rate of pay. The maximum load for a faculty member in any 16‐week semester is 21 LEH, including overloads. A maximum load or the entire summer is 16 LEH, including overloads, with no more than 10 LEH in a single summer session. •
Full‐time
faculty must be in good evaluative standing to be eligible to
teach overloads.
• Full‐time faculty may not select or reserve a second overload class until adjunct faculty with special hiring designations (Multiple Semester Term Appointments, Highest Priority to Hire, Instructional or College Associates) have been staffed for the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Office Hours Input link: In addition to teaching responsibilities, full‐time faculty are expected to make themselves available to students, staff, and other faculty by scheduling and holding required office hours. In the Fall and Spring, full‐time teaching faculty contractual obligations begin one week prior to the first instructional day of the semester and end with the last instructional day of the semester. In the Summer, they begin and end with the first and last instructional days of the session that is taught. Full‐time teaching faculty are required to work a minimum of forty hours per week. Teaching and office hours are structured to allow a minimum of fifteen unscheduled hours per week for instructional preparation/development and other college‐related activities. Full‐time teaching faculty must schedule a minimum of five regularly scheduled office hours, and make an additional five office hours available to students by appointment. This requirement applies to Fall and Spring Semesters, as well as to the Summer session in which full‐time teaching faculty are on a 10.5 contract. Those on a 10.5 month contract who teach the 11 Week Session must schedule a minimum of three office hours per week and make an additional two hours per week available by appointment. For each Distance Learning class, faculty must schedule additional office hours each week equal to the time that a classroom version of the Distance Learning section(s) would have met on campus. Full‐time teaching faculty teaching overloads during the Fall, Spring, or Summer Semesters are required to hold one office hour per week for each 3 LEH. Office hours, office location, instructor phone number, and email must be publicized to students through the course handout/syllabus, web address and must also be posted outside the office each semester. Each full‐time teaching faculty member shall be expected to share responsibilities related to the total concern of the college. Such responsibilities include instructional development, faculty meetings, instructional department committee meetings, registration duties, student advisement, and other responsibilities as assigned by the College. |
