Scheduling Considerations Sample Clauses

Scheduling Considerations. As the Chairperson, or their designee, makes course/section assignments, they will take faculty seniority, the faculty member’s preference, their assigned campus, and the faculty member’s full-time status into consideration. If these assignments cannot be agreed upon, the Chairperson shall retain authority to make a final determination of course assignments. Upon request, the Chairperson will give the faculty member the rationale for the assignment. The faculty member may request a meeting with the Chairperson and the ▇▇▇▇ to discuss further the rationale of the assignment. An Association Representative may be present at such a meeting. It is expected that faculty will focus on meeting their workload within their department and content area. However, there may be occasions in which a faculty member wishes to teach a portion of their minimum workload or overload in a different department or discipline; or that due to an operational need, a Chair or ▇▇▇▇ may request that a faculty member teach in a different department or discipline. In order for a faculty member to be considered for such assignment, the faculty member must be properly credentialed and current within the cross discipline. Any such requests to teach across departments or disciplines must first be submitted to the home department Chairperson for consideration. Chairs of both impacted departments must agree to grant a faculty member’s request to teach overload hours across disciplines and academic departments. The request will be considered after all full-time faculty of the department in which the faculty member seeks to teach have selected their desired overload. Such requests will not be unreasonably denied, and full-time faculty requests will not be denied in favor of an adjunct instructor. Cross-departmental teaching is voluntary, and faculty may decline a request from another department to teach outside of their home department.
