Load Assignment Process. 10.1 In order of consideration as set forth in this section, and subject to the availability of units/hours for unit members to work, all unit members who have achieved rehire preference status shall be assigned the amount of load they have requested pursuant to Section 9 as long as the request does not exceed the legal maximum of 67% of a full-time load. It is understood that the District is not required to create or split any assignment or course in order to provide a unit member with requested load.
Load Assignment Process. Each semester the administrator/designee shall by district email, provide the associate faculty notification of class availability and request for preferences. The administrator/designee shall notify associate faculty when no load is available. Schedule requests will be given serious consideration in building the schedule. However, it is understood that it may not be possible where it results in some SRP associate faculty not receiving load that they could otherwise receive. • When assignments are offered as part of the regular planning process, associate faculty will be given at least two working days to accept or decline the assignment. Requests for additional time to respond will not be unreasonable denied. • When assignments are offered outside the regular planning process (e.g.: when sections are added after the schedule has been published) associate faculty will be given at least two working days to accept or decline the assignment. In the special circumstances where an associate faculty member with SRP does not receive the 33% SRP load (underloaded) in the SRP discipline, the associate faculty member may be entitled to additional assignments outside the single discipline based on the following: • Current SRP Faculty in a single discipline (prioritized by SRP date within discipline) • Underloaded associate faculty member is placed at the bottom of the SRP list in the alternate discipline • Underloaded associate faculty member does not “move up” the SRP list according to their original SRP date • The underloaded faculty member may not displace any assigned sections with other associate faculty members in the alternate discipline. Underloaded associate faculty member bears the responsibility to notify alternate discipline xxxx for additional assignments. Alternate assignments shall be made on a semester basis only.
