Assignment of Classes. For each Academic Year the University shall offer available classes to qualified Adjunct Faculty (unit employees) in the following order:
i. In order of those who have taught the course previously, starting with the most senior incumbent (most Dominican Points) in the hiring pool for that course (and its class sections) up to the Minimum Anticipated Course Unit Load. Any incumbency tie-breaker shall be the earlier hire date. An incumbent is an Adjunct Faculty member (unit employee) who has taught a course at least once within the last three (3) Academic Years and who has taught that course at least twice during her/his employment at the University.
ii. The remaining pool of classes (new and non-incumbent classes) shall be offered to qualified Adjunct Faculty (unit employees) in the hiring pool for that course (and sections) to fulfill Minimum Anticipated Course Unit Load in seniority order, and then each qualified Adjunct Faculty shall be offered one course (or section) in excess of Minimum Anticipated Course Unit Load in rotational seniority order, until all qualified Adjunct Faculty have reached a full-time course load or all available courses and sections have been assigned (whichever comes first). If, after completing steps i-ii above, some class sections are still unassigned, the University may hire additional Adjunct Faculty (unit employees). Once other Adjunct Faculty members in a hiring pool for a course have been offered the number of Minimum Anticipated Course Units contemplated under his/her contract OR if there are no other Adjunct Faculty members (unit employees) in the hiring pool, an Adjunct Faculty member may accept classes that would cause him/her to exceed the number of Minimum Anticipated Course Units contemplated by his/her contract. An Adjunct Faculty member (unit employee) who receives a class assignment shall notify the University in writing of her/his acceptance as soon as possible, and within one (1) week of the date sent by the University. An Adjunct Faculty member (unit employee) may choose to select fewer than the number of units to be offered under his/her contract. Exceptions to the above course assignment process: Faculty hiring and assignment to courses offered in the First Year Experience “Big History,” VisionQuest, and Colloquium will continue to be determined according to existing University policies for those programs or by future revisions to such assignment/hiring policies and practices, as approved through shared gove...
Assignment of Classes.

Evaluations of part-time faculty member will be considered.

Evaluation of part-time faculty is also an element of the process through which part-time faculty earn Reemployment Preference (see Article 9.05). Part-time faculty seeking promotion shall be evaluated based on total professional performance, according to criteria to be developed by the Part-time Faculty Criteria and Placement Committee, as defined in Appendix K. • Classroom Observations and Student Surveys of Teaching to supply first-hand information about the faculty members’ teaching practice. • Procedural Responsibilities which include Syllabus Review, and Administrative Feedback on submission of grades and use of DCC email to communicate with the College and students.
