Common use of WORKLOAD PILOT PROJECT Clause in Contracts

WORKLOAD PILOT PROJECT. The District and AFT shall implement a two-year pilot program utilizing the process set forth in this Article for the allocation of professional responsibilities. The pilot program shall be conducted in the 2022-23 and 2023-2024 academic years. During the period of the Pilot, subsection 6.5 supersedes any conflicting provisions of Article 6, and replaces Appendices Full-time faculty members shall participate in a range of professional responsibilities. These professional responsibilities are in addition to classroom time, preparation and grading time, and office hours. Participation, to be initially determined by the faculty member, subject to limited review by the supervising Xxxx as summarized in this Article, may include but is not limited to the committees and activities listed in the table below. First-year contract faculty are not otherwise subject to the terms of this Article, and will work with their deans in taking on an appropriate level/type of professional responsibilities that allows them to focus primarily on teaching. The faculty member will create a professional responsibilities plan (“Plan”) by selecting items from the table below that they will perform over the academic year. The Plan will describe the professional responsibilities with specificity. For example, activities related to course development will identify the specific course; similarly, activities related to training will describe the subject matter and general scope of the training. Professional activities that depend on appointment by the Academic Senate may only be included in a Plan if the appointment has already been made. Activities that depend on xxxx approval (e.g. program coordination) may only be included after securing xxxx approval. The professional responsibilities are divided into four (4) tiers, the activities under each tier will be given different numbers of points. The professional responsibilities plan will need to include a mix of activities with a minimum combined points of value within the range of 6-7 points each academic year. Where a faculty member’s particular professional activity could fall under more than one of the activities generally described in the table, it will be counted once, under the activity with the highest point value. Activities that have an assigned FLC value in Appendix F, or activities for which a faculty member is receiving release time, shall have a point value of “0”. The faculty and unit administrator may jointly include items that are not on this list and add them to one of the tiers. Once the faculty member has created a draft Plan, the member will submit it to their xxxx for review and approval. Plans for the following academic year will be submitted for review no later than May 1 . Plan’s shall be approved unless one of the following applies: a) The Plan includes activities for which there is no institutional need during the academic year covered by the plan. For example: A Plan includes evaluation of tenured faculty and no tenured faculty evaluations are scheduled for this period. In this case, the Xxxx will advise the faculty member that a chosen activity is not available and the faculty member will revise the plan accordingly. b) The Plan includes activities for which the demand exceeds supply. For example, multiple faculty include in their plans writing a new course curriculum for the same course. In this case, the xxxx will inform all faculty interested in this activity, and request that they resolve among themselves who will take on this particular activity. If the faculty are unable to resolve among themselves, the xxxx will make the assignment and instruct the others to revise their Plans. c) There is an institutional need for a professional activity that an insufficient number of faculty have included in their Plans. For example: there is need for a particular curriculum review that no one has included in their Plan. In this case, the Xxxx will first ask for a volunteer to modify their Plan. If that fails, the Xxxx may assign the activity. However, a xxxx may not require a faculty member to serve on more than two tenure review committees, or more than 2 hiring committees in an academic year, even where the total points do not exceed 7 points. The assigned faculty member may then, at their sole discretion, determine what to delete, of the same point value, from their Plan. This same approach shall be used if an urgent, unanticipated, institutional need arises after the academic year has begun. An “urgent” institutional need is one where, if not addressed, the District will: 1) be in violation of law; or 2) be unable to proceed with a hiring process. No faculty member will have their professional plan involuntarily adjusted in this manner more than once during the period of the pilot program. existing services on the member’s plan, the xxxx may request that the member not delete any activities, so long as the total point value does not exceed 7. Any additional assignment that results in an increase in points may be appealed to the pilot review committee. If the faculty member is requested by the xxxx not to delete any activities resulting in a plan that exceeds 7 points, and the faculty member agrees to do so, the faculty member will be compensated for the additional service at the special rate for the actual hours spent. Alternatively, faculty requested to exceed the point requirement in year one of the pilot may opt to receive credit for the following year. No faculty member can be required to exceed more than 7 points in an academic year. If the xxxx does not request additional service, the faculty member may choose, at their sole discretion, not to delete any activities from their Plan. However, such voluntary additional service does not result in additional compensation. Nothing in the Plan development and approval process precludes a xxxx and faculty from mutually agreeing to modifications to a Plan after the academic year has begun to address new opportunities or areas of need. The parties further agree that annually, no later than June 15, each faculty member shall prepare a brief professional responsibility report covering each professional activity included in that 1) The specific project or activity undertaken; 2) The status of the project or activity at the time of the report; 3) Whether the expected progress on the project or activity was made; and 4) If the expected progress was not made, why not. The Report **In reaching this Tentative Agreement regarding Article 6, the Parties further agreed to reopen and revise Article 2.6 to increase AFT release time to 18 FLCs for organizational activities and 18 FLCs for negotiations and the handling of grievances for a total of 36 FLCs.

WORKLOAD PILOT PROJECT. 84 85 The District and AFT shall implement a two-year pilot program utilizing the process set 86 forth in this Article for the allocation of professional responsibilities. The pilot program 87 shall be conducted in the 2022-23 and 2023-2024 academic years. During the period of 88 the Pilot, subsection 6.5 supersedes any conflicting provisions of Article 6, and replaces 89 Appendices D-1, D-2 and D-3. Preparation for implementing the program will take place 90 in the 2021-2022 academic year, including the development and review of faculty 91 members’ initial professional responsibility plans, as described in this Article. This pilot 92 shall automatically sunset, if not continued by express mutual agreement of the parties. 93 The parties shall reopen the contract to negotiate possible continuation of the program 94 no later than February 2024. During the period of the pilot, the provisions of this program 95 shall not be grievable. A single District-wide committee consisting of the president of the 96 AFT or designee, the District Academic Senate president or designee, the Director of 97 Human Resources or designee, and the Vice Chancellor of Educational Services and 98 Planning or designee, will provide guidance and settle any disputes that arise during this 99 two-year pilot period. 100 101 Full-time faculty members shall participate in a range of professional responsibilities. 102 These professional responsibilities are in addition to classroom time, preparation and 103 grading time, and office hours. Participation, to be initially determined by the faculty 104 member, subject to limited review by the supervising Xxxx as summarized in this 105 Article, may include but is not limited to the committees and activities listed in the 106 table below. First-year contract faculty are not otherwise subject to the terms of this 107 Article, and will work with their deans in taking on an appropriate level/type of 108 professional responsibilities that allows them to focus primarily on teaching. 109 110 The faculty member will create a professional responsibilities plan (“Plan”) by 111 selecting items from the table below that they will perform over the academic year. 112 The Plan will describe the professional responsibilities with specificity. For example, 113 activities related to course development will identify the specific course; similarly, 114 activities related to training will describe the subject matter and general scope of the 115 training. Professional activities that depend on appointment by the Academic Senate 116 may only be included in a Plan if the appointment has already been made. Activities 117 that depend on xxxx approval (e.g. program coordination) may only be included after 118 securing xxxx approval. 119 120 The professional responsibilities are divided into four (4) tiers, the activities under 121 each tier will be given different numbers of points. The professional responsibilities 122 plan will need to include a mix of activities with a minimum combined points of value 123 within the range of 6-7 points each academic year. Where a faculty member’s 124 particular professional activity could fall under more than one of the activities 125 generally described in the table, it will be counted once, under the activity with the 126 highest point value. Activities that have an assigned FLC value in Appendix F, or 127 activities for which a faculty member is receiving release time, shall have a point value 128 of “0”. The faculty and unit administrator may jointly include items that are not on this 129 list and add them to one of the tiers. 130 131 Once the faculty member has created a draft Plan, the member will submit it to their 132 xxxx for review and approval. Plans for the following academic year will be submitted 133 for review no later than May 1 . 134 135 1. Plan’s shall be approved unless one of the following applies:: 136 137 a) The Plan includes activities for which there is no institutional need during 138 the academic year covered by the plan. For example: A Plan includes 139 evaluation of tenured faculty and no tenured faculty evaluations are 140 scheduled for this period. In this case, the Xxxx will advise the faculty 141 member that a chosen activity is not available and the faculty member will 142 revise the plan accordingly.. 143 144 b) The Plan includes activities for which the demand exceeds supply. For 145 example, multiple faculty include in their plans writing a new course 146 curriculum for the same course. In this case, the xxxx will inform all faculty 147 interested in this activity, and request that they resolve among themselves 148 who will take on this particular activity. If the faculty are unable to resolve 149 among themselves, the xxxx will make the assignment and instruct the 150 others to revise their Plans.. 151 152 c) There is an institutional need for a professional activity that an insufficient 153 number of faculty have included in their Plans. For example: there is need 154 for a particular curriculum review that no one has included in their Plan. In 155 this case, the Xxxx will first ask for a volunteer to modify their Plan. If that 156 fails, the Xxxx may assign the activity. However, a xxxx may not require a 157 faculty member to serve on more than two tenure review committees, or 158 more than 2 hiring committees in an academic year, even where the total 159 points do not exceed 7 points. The assigned faculty member may then, at 160 their sole discretion, determine what to delete, of the same point value, 161 from their Plan. This same approach shall be used if an urgent, 162 unanticipated, institutional need arises after the academic year has begun. 163 An “urgent” institutional need is one where, if not addressed, the District 164 will: 1) be in violation of law; or 2) be unable to proceed with a hiring 165 process. No faculty member will have their professional plan involuntarily 166 adjusted in this manner more than once during the period of the pilot 167 program. 168 169 If there is a specific, time sensitive need for the faculty member to provide 170 all of the existing services on the member’s plan, the xxxx may request 171 that the member not delete any activities, so long as the total point value 172 does not exceed 7. Any additional assignment that results in an increase in 173 points may be appealed to the pilot review committee. If the faculty 174 member is requested by the xxxx not to delete any activities resulting in a 175 plan that exceeds 7 points, and the faculty member agrees to do so, the 176 faculty member will be compensated for the additional service at the 177 special rate for the actual hours spent. 178 179 Alternatively, faculty requested to exceed the point requirement in year 180 one of the pilot may opt to receive credit for the following year. No faculty 181 member can be required to exceed more than 7 points in an academic 182 year. If the xxxx does not request additional service, the faculty member 183 may choose, at their sole discretion, not to delete any activities from their 184 Plan. However, such voluntary additional service does not result in 185 additional compensation. 186 187 Nothing in the Plan development and approval process precludes a xxxx 188 and faculty from mutually agreeing to modifications to a Plan after the 189 academic year has begun to address new opportunities or areas of need. 190 191 The parties further agree that annually, no later than June 15, each faculty 192 member shall prepare a brief professional responsibility report covering 193 each professional activity included in thatthat year’s Plan. The report shall 1) The specific project or activity undertaken; 2) The status of the 195 project or activity at the time of the report; 3) Whether the expected 196 progress on the project or activity was made; and 4) If the expected 197 progress was not made, why not. The Report **In reaching this Tentative Agreement regarding Article 6, the Parties further agreed to reopen and revise Article 2.6 to increase AFT release time to 18 FLCs for organizational activities and 18 FLCs for negotiations and the handling of grievances for a total of 36 FLCs.
