Common use of Determination of Additional Assignments Clause in Contracts

Determination of Additional Assignments. 5.2.4.1 Prior to the beginning of each semester, after all tenured/tenure-track, pro-rata, and overload, assignments have been made based upon program needs, adjunct faculty who have qualified for priority of assignment rights will be contacted by the appropriate manager and advised of the availability of additional assignments from their approved list. The adjunct faculty member will be offered additional assignments from within their list of assignments in the discipline for which they hold the priority of assignment right. These additional assignments will be made following the adjunct faculty member’s priority of assignment status as determined in 5.2.2 above. If acceptance of an additional assignment increases a faculty member's annualized FTEF load, her/his POA rights to said load will be increased accordingly (up to the 67% annualized maximum). These additional assignments may only be made from the pool of available adjunct assignments. Available adjunct assignments shall generally mean those assignments which have become available due to either growth or attrition of other faculty. Adjunct assignments which will NOT be considered as available include those assignments made available by adjunct faculty during a break in service as defined in Article 5.2.6.1 and 5.2.6.2 below, or tenured/tenure-track faculty on approved leave, reassigned time, or who have retired. Assignments made available due to retirement will become available if not filled by a new tenure-track hire within one (1) year. 5.2.4.2 Each semester, the appropriate manager may, at her/his option, exclude the greater of: ten percent (10%) of the total number of adjunct assignments (rounded to the nearest 0.20 FTEF) OR one (1) course section, OR eight (8) hours/week in a non-teaching area, from being selected by those adjunct faculty eligible for priority of assignments for the express purpose of hiring new adjunct faculty who have not previously held an assignment in the particular discipline during the past eighteen (18) months. 5.2.4.3 In the event that the above exclusion results in excluding all available adjunct assignments from selection by those adjunct faculty eligible for priority of assignments, a minimum of 0.20 FTEF must be made available, provided it was not the only 0.20 FTEF available.
