Program Variability Sample Clauses
The Program Variability clause defines the right of a party, typically the provider, to modify, suspend, or discontinue aspects of a program or service. In practice, this clause allows the provider to make changes to program features, schedules, or content as needed, often without prior notice to participants. Its core function is to give the provider flexibility to adapt the program in response to operational needs, regulatory changes, or unforeseen circumstances, thereby managing risk and setting participant expectations regarding potential changes.
Program Variability. Up to 10% of the College Supervision Budget may be set aside for program variability. These funds will be allocated to the departments/divisions to address supervision factors not adequately represented by instructional load. Such factors include but are not limited to additional funding for OPDs, special accreditation requirements, oversight of building spaces such as labs or libraries, number of FSAs within the department/division, supervision of non-Library/Counseling service faculty, and number of campuses where services are provided.
Program Variability. The existence of several programs within the English Department calls for awareness of and sensitivity to differing standards of Normal activity in some areas. For example, Creative Writing has a large number of graduate students with an accompanying amount of thesis direction and application review. English Teaching has a smaller faculty and handles a great deal of advising, mentoring, and thesis direction. Literature faculty often teach larger classes with extensive amounts of grading. Composition handles a large administrative load, including the supervision of TAs. Such variations should be recognized as Normal.
Program Variability. Depending on the need for flexibility and the amount of funds available, a College may set aside up to $160,000 of its supervision budget for program variability. Program variability funding is to address supervision needs not directly related to Load and Load-Equivalents. If the work is compensated with a stipend, the stipend will be based on the 2023-2024 midpoint hourly rate of a Grade 121 Classified Staff position (which was $49.50 for 2022 - 2023). If the work during the academic year is compensated with reassigned time, each 32 hours worked will equate to one (1) Load or Load-Equivalent. Decisions related to the distribution of program variability funds will follow the process outlined in the College Plan. In addition to program variability, Colleges may provide supplemental reassigned time funded outside of the Supervision Budget to address accreditation requirements.
