Instructional Day. Without prior approval of the faculty, no faculty can be assigned contact hours to exceed a contiguous period (span) of seven (7) hours, including meal and travel times. The daily assignment span may be increased where it can be satisfactorily demonstrated to the parties to this Agreement that the extension of the limit is beyond the control of the administration. "Satisfactorily demonstrated" shall mean that courses necessary to maintain a full load are not available within the span, and that mutual agreement has not been reached regarding alternate non- instructional assignments or annualization, provided that the quarterly load was determined according to Section 11.3 below. Nothing in this section is to be construed that: (a) the teaching span must be seven (7) hours in length; or (b) faculty are expected to be on campus for this entire span if their professional duties require their presence elsewhere.
