Initial assignment of an employee to a course group, or reassignment of an employee to a course group, shall exclude any course group in which that employee’s assignments have been exclusively overload assignments under paragraph 5.6.C. A teaching faculty member shall be assigned to the course group in the employee’s current School which contains the greatest proportion of contact hours taught by the employee within the current and five (5) prior academic years. If a teaching faculty member has equal contact hours in two (2) or more course groups within the employee’s current School, the employee shall be assigned to that course group among the groups in which the tie exists on the basis of the section scheduled first in the most recent term. There shall be no retrenchment of a member of the teaching faculty assigned to a course group until the elimination of all overload and part-time teaching in that course group unless no member of the faculty assigned to that course group is qualified to teach such courses as determined by an accrediting agency. In the event that the Employer undertakes a retrenchment, a teaching faculty member subject to retrenchment shall be known as an identified employee. Prior to retrenching the identified employee, the Employer shall reassign the identified employee as hereunder. If the identified employee has teaching experience in multiple course groups, reassignment shall be to the course group within the current School which contains the next greatest proportion of contact hours taught by the employee until all reassignment possibilities within that School are exhausted. If the identified employee has equal contact hours within two (2) or more course groups within the current School, the employee shall be assigned to that course group among the groups in which the tie exists on the basis of the section scheduled first in the most recent term.

Teaching Bargaining Unit Members. Non-teaching bargaining unit members within the same department or School and with the same title and whose job duties require the same or similar qualifications shall be terminated in reverse order of their accumulated seniority. Upon final approval of any elimination, creation, or consolidation of department(s) or School(s), the College shall notify the Association in writing within five (5) business days. There shall be no retrenchment of a non-teaching bargaining unit member until the elimination of part-time professional employment and on-going compensatory time within the employee’s title until less than a full work load remains. In the event that the Employer undertakes a retrenchment, a non-teaching bargaining unit member subject to retrenchment shall be known as an identified employee. Prior to retrenching the identified employee, the Employer shall reassign the identified employee to a bargaining unit position previously held and currently staffed. If the identified employee has held multiple positions, initial reassignment shall be to the most recent position which the employee has previously held. Within the reassigned position, a work load shall be made available to the identified employee at the expense of part-time professional work and on-going compensatory time. If the elimination of part-time professional work and on-going compensatory time creates less than a full work load, the identified employee, if not the least senior person in that position, shall displace the least senior person in that position. If least senior, the identified employee shall continue to be reassigned as herein until eligibility for reassignment is exhausted. At that point the identified employee becomes a retrenched employee. Notification of Retrenchment When the number of teaching bargaining unit employees is to be reduced, the Employer will, in writing, notify those employees affected by five (5) business days after the April Board meeting prior to the effective date of retrenchment. When the number of non-teaching bargaining unit employees is to be reduced, the Employer will provide not less than six (6) months written notice thereof prior to the effective date of retrenchment.
