Common use of Contracting Out Review Process Clause in Contracts

Contracting Out Review Process. a. When an instructional contract is entered into by the College, the following information shall be provided promptly to the Association: i. title and length of course; ii. names of contractors and qualifications required by the College and/or specified by the third party; iii. credit, certification or recognition received by the course or program; iv. full description of the course or program similar to the course descriptions found in the College calendar; and v. target population and/or prospective clients. The information shall be of sufficient detail to enable the Association to assess whether the course/program being contracted out is consistent with the provisions of this Collective Agreement. The foregoing does not preclude the College from providing such information to the Association in advance of entering into an instructional contract, if timing and circumstances permit. b. A Joint Contracting Out Committee will be established immediately. The Committee will be comprised of two appointees of the College and two appointees of the Association and may be supplemented by resource persons as required given the nature of matters raised. If the Association has a concern arising from the information provided under 1.2.7 a, the matter will be referred to the Joint Contracting Out Committee for discussion; in requesting a meeting in this regard, the Association will provide the College with reasonable advance notice of the particular areas of concern to be discussed.
