There are two classifications of Faculty Chair based on required work hours. A Faculty Chair-40 works 40 hours per week during the academic year performing Faculty Chair duties and working in their core functional area (instruction, library, counseling, educational support). The ten additional hours of work are compensated with a Chair stipend. In unique circumstances, for instance where a Department/Division requires multiple Program Directors and other supervisory roles, the Residential Faculty in a Department/Division may opt, in consultation with the VPAA, to elect a Faculty Chair-34 instead of the standard Faculty Chair-
Faculty Chair. Candidates must be tenured at the time of their election by the Resident Faculty. The Chair is elected at a faculty meeting, following a call for nominations that is initiated by the individual currently serving in this position. Elections will take place in the fall quarter for a two year term to begin in the following summer quarter. The Faculty Chair will serve as Co-Chair of ACCIL and chair faculty meetings. In conjunction with ACCIL, the Faculty Chair schedules elections, organizes the election process for membership on University committees, creates agendas for faculty meetings, and collaborates with the Associate Xxxx for Curriculum and Instruction to appoint members to SNL committees.
