One Thousand, Six Hundred dollars ($1,600) per semester for each course assignment at least sixty (60) miles, one way, from NJIT. D.

E. To the extent practicable, a faculty member teaching at an off-campus site will not be assigned on campus teaching duties the same day, unless mutually agreeable to the faculty member. F. The remuneration provided for under this Article is intended to accommodate both additional costs and inconvenience reasonably associated with directed travel that is further from the faculty member’s personal residence than NJIT. Where the faculty member’s personal residence is closer to the off campus teaching site than to NJIT, and where the faculty member teaching off campus is not also scheduled to teach at NJIT on the same day, this provision is not applicable. Where significant professional inconvenience can be demonstrated by an unusual set of circumstances where this article’s travel stipend does not apply, yet an economic injustice to a faculty member is caused by the administration of this policy, the matter may be referred to the Joint Advisory Committee for review as to whether a special accommodation should be afforded. Accommodations will only be afforded where the spirit of the article would be more accurately served thereby.
