CLASS AND COURSE ASSIGNMENT. The instructional assignment of a faculty member should be made in his/her field of competence. There are common instructional components in each discipline that all faculty should be able to teach. Therefore, the need for change of assignment within his/her field for the purpose of providing better service and a higher quality program is acknowledged. Instructional assignments shall be based on a consideration of the needs of students (including the need to make the curriculum available throughout the day and evening), the continued necessity for revitalization and improvement of the instructional program, academic qualifications and expertise of the faculty and, where practical, faculty preference. Instructional assignments shall not be made arbitrarily, capriciously, or with the intent or effect of discriminating against any faculty member. The duties and duration of release time granted shall be reported in writing to the faculty member and, upon request, to the local union. Release time for faculty shall be calculated in credits and recorded as faculty member teaching load. A faculty member shall not be required to teach both evening and early morning classes unless the faculty member concurs with this kind of assignment.
