Work Load. During each academic year, full-time teaching faculty shall: (1) teach twenty-four contact/credit hours and perform related duties as provided in Section 1 above (one 50 minute lecture hour/clinical hour shall equal one contact/credit hour for purposes of this provision); (2) perform Additional Responsibilities equivalent to the preparation and teaching of an additional three contact/credit course or an average of nine hours per week for each semester within the appointment year or teach an additional three contact/credit hours each semester or combine Additional Responsibilities with additional contact/credit hours as provided in Section 2 above. (See Side Letter Re: Additional Responsibilities of Teaching Faculty and Additional Responsibilities Addendum.) The parties agree that it is desirable to limit the number of class preparations required of a teaching faculty member to three per semester; however, it is recognized that the assignment of a fourth preparation may be required in special cases to accommodate the needs of the college. Whenever possible, the fourth preparation will be assigned on the basis of mutual agreement between the teaching faculty member and the President or his/her designee. Individuals responsible for four different class preparations in a semester shall be credited with two hours per week toward the satisfaction of Additional Responsibilities. Where a course includes a laboratory component, the parties agree that the laboratory component shall count as an additional preparation. The parties recognize that in some cases, in order to accommodate the needs of the college, the teaching load of a teaching faculty member may have to be unequally divided between the semesters of an academic year. Whenever possible, such an arrangement shall be on the basis of mutual agreement between faculty member and the President or his/her designee. No teaching faculty member shall be assigned more than 16 contact/credit hours – including the time spent on Additional Responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement – during any one semester. The parties agree that an individual cooperative education or field-work placement which involves both the development of work placement and on-site evaluation by the unit member may be considered to be equivalent to six (6) student contact hours. This provision constitutes a general guideline and shall not be deemed to require a reduction in work load for any unit member. 1.

Full time faculty hired on or after July 1, 2017 shall be required to teach a course in lieu of Additional Responsibilities (AR); b. Teaching faculty hired on or after July 1, 2017 shall be hired at step 3 of their respective rank on the salary schedule. Step movement shall mirror the 2017 SEBAC Agreement; c. Faculty hired on or after July 1, 2017 shall be released as appropriate with approval from the college so that they may work on professional obligations toward the goals of attaining tenure and/or promotion; d. All faculty employed on or before June 30, 2017 shall elect to either complete AR or teach a 3-credit course for $2,500 compensation. The parties understand that compensation shall be pro-rated based on the number of credits taught, not necessarily the number of courses. Said election shall be made by the faculty member no later than May 15th of the preceding academic year. AR approval decisions shall be made no later than June 1st of the preceding academic year. The existing practices and rules regarding AR proposals/approvals shall remain in place; e. If a faculty member elects to perform AR and such election and proposal is approved, any additional course(s) taught by such faculty member shall be paid at the prevailing PTL rate; f. The parties agree to continue discussions regarding limitations (policy and/or contractual) on teaching assignments. (See side letter Re: Teaching Workload Obligation.)
