Common use of Priority of Assignment Clause in Contracts

Priority of Assignment. (POA) rights shall begin at the beginning of the third semester following the semester during which the initial request was made. For example, if the adjunct faculty member makes the request during semester six (6), POA rights take effect at the beginning of semester nine (9). Semesters seven and eight may be used to schedule additional evaluations of the requesting faculty member. However, the act of applying for POA may not be used as grounds for termination, nor shall the District discourage adjunct faculty from exercising their right to apply for POA.
