Common use of FACULTY OVERLOAD Clause in Contracts

FACULTY OVERLOAD. The use of full-time faculty to teach overload courses can contribute in a number of ways to effective instruction. Most importantly, these contributions include greater consistency between day and evening offerings and expertise in both course content and teaching effectiveness. However, the amount of full-time faculty overload must remain reasonable and be linked to an evaluation process to help assure the quality and effectiveness of instruction. In a semester when a faculty member is under contract to provide full-time instruction at the College, they may be teaching a course in which part of the hours move them to full load (15 credit hours or 18 contact hours), and the remaining course hours are overload. These overload hours are excluded from the restrictions outlined in the next paragraph. When a faculty member is under contract to provide full-time instruction at the College, their overload will normally not exceed ten (10) credit hours or twelve (12) contact hours per semester. All overload hours must have the approval of the faculty member's Assistant Xxxx. Any exceptions to these restrictions must be approved by the Chief Academic Officer. In a semester when a faculty member is not under a full-time teaching contract with the College, their teaching load (payable at the appropriate overload rate) will normally not exceed twenty-five (25) credit hours or thirty (30) contact hours during a sixteen week session, or eighteen (18) credit hours or twenty-two (22) contact hours during an ten week session. All hours must have approval of the faculty member's Assistant Xxxx. Any exceptions to these restrictions must be approved by the Chief Academic Officer.
