Common use of Bumping Rights and Procedures Clause in Contracts

Bumping Rights and Procedures. If one or more classes that a full-time status faculty member is scheduled to teach in order to make his/her 18% load is canceled due to insufficient student enrollment, or has been removed from the faculty member’s schedule for some other reason, then that faculty member has the right to select a course (or courses) to teach from among the courses in the faculty member’s area that have been assigned to another faculty member. In order to do this, the faculty member must take the first course(s) that fits his/her schedule starting with any unassigned course(s), followed by the course(s) assigned to the newest Part-time faculty and moving up the Part-time preference point list, followed by the course(s) assigned to Full-time faculty with the least seniority and moving up the Full-time faculty seniority list. No Full-time faculty member may bump any other full-time faculty member with equal or greater seniority in order to make 18% load. No full-time faculty member may be bumped out of a class in this way if the bumping results in that faculty member not having a full 18% load. Full-time faculty members may not bump any other faculty member from his/her classes should an overload class (one not needed to make the 18% load) be canceled or otherwise removed from their tentative schedule.
