Common use of Recurring Assignments Clause in Contracts

Recurring Assignments. Assignments are made for a period of one semester or a part of an academic year in Management’s discretion. To be eligible to be considered for assignment in a subsequent semester, a part-time employee must be in good standing (i.e., has not been issued written or greater discipline). An employee who is in good standing and who has taught the same course for at least four (4) semesters in the immediately preceding six (6) academic years, will receive good faith consideration to teach that same course if it will be offered within one year of the employee’s most recent assignment, except in the following circumstances: (a) elimination or downsizing of a Center or program, or a reduction in the number of courses or sections offered in a semester. (b) creation of a full-time faculty position that absorbs existing courses taught by employees, or any other circumstance in which the course will be taught by a full-time faculty member. (c) cancellation of a course due to under-enrollment or for demonstrated programmatic reasons, as determined by Management in its discretion. (d) unsatisfactory performance of an employee, as evidenced from an employee’s formal evaluation, observations, student evaluations, or student or other complaints; the employee’s failure to meet the obligations specified in Section 9.6 of Article 9 of this Agreement; or the employee’s failure to correct a performance problem identified by the Center Director; except that student evaluations alone shall not be used as the exclusive basis to deny or cancel an employee’s assignment. (e) discharge, or misconduct or neglect of duties resulting in written or greater discipline of the employee. (f) availability of an alternative part-time instructor who has not taught as a part-time instructor at Xxxxxxx College in the preceding three (3) academic years, and who in the College’s reasonable discretion has greater professional qualifications or who has a demonstrably better record of teaching performance. (g) where an employee exceeds eight (8) credits in a semester or twelve (12) credits in a year, unless the employee can establish that he or she was authorized to do so in writing by the Xxxxxxx. (h) other demonstrated reason necessitating a change in academic, fiscal, program or organizational needs of Xxxxxxx College, as determined by Management in its discretion. If an employee is affected under subsections (a), (b), (c) or (h) of this Section 6.4, Management will make a good faith effort to assign the employee an alternate course that the employee is qualified to teach. If an employee is affected under subsection (f) of this Section 6.4, Management will make a good faith effort to assign the employee an alternate course that the employee is qualified to teach. If no alternate assignment is available, the employee shall forego his or her right to future good faith consideration for the course assignment and receive a onetime payment of seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount the employee would have received for teaching the course. If the part-time instructor who displaced the employee under subsection (f) stops teaching the course within three (3) academic years, however, good faith consideration will be reinstated upon the employee’s written request. After receiving an employee’s request in writing at the normal time for requesting good faith consideration as set forth in subsection 6.3(B), the employee will be notified of the status of the course.
