New Benefit for Part-time Faculty Who Have No Class Assignments Spring 2020

Unlimited Tuition Waiver this Term for Part-time Faculty Without Assignments

The College and Association reached agreement yesterday that part-time faculty who have no assignment this term due to class cancellations are eligible for an unlimited tuition waiver for the term.

Tuition Waiver for All Part-time Faculty

The current Article 19 contract provisions remain in effect. All part-time faculty accrue a tuition waiver at the rate of one class per term of teaching. The tuition waiver may be used anytime during the term of teaching or during the next three terms. If you wish to use a tuition waiver earned during one fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) during next fiscal year, you may request to HR that the tuition waiver be carried over to next year before June 30 each year. (See 19.2)

Compensation for Part-time Faculty Teaching Spring 2020

If you are teaching a class this term that was originally scheduled to be face-to-face AND you have not taught the same class online before, you are eligible for additional curriculum development pay. The amount of compensation is 1.25 x the number of hours of class each week. Thus, if you were scheduled to teach a class that would meet 4 hours per week, you are eligible for 4 x 1.25 = 5 hours of curriculum development pay each week for the 10 instructional weeks of the term for a total of 50 hours pay at the CD rate. In order to receive this compensation, please record the hours on the curriculum development line on your timesheet each week.

If you have taught the class online before, you are not eligible for this additional compensation. Likewise, if the class was originally scheduled to be online, you are not eligible for this additional compensation.

If you are teaching more than one section of the same class (and the class was scheduled face-to-face and you have not taught it online before), this additional compensation applies to one section only.

In-service Hours for Part-time Faculty who Taught during Fall 2019

Part-time faculty who taught during Fall 2019 are eligible to use 24 hours for Fall 2019 in-service or for any meetings or workshops on campus (including remote meetings and workshops this term). Part-time faculty teaching in any Fall term will be eligible for these hours each year based on the new contract.

In-service Hours for Part-time Faculty who are Teaching Spring 2020

All part-time faculty teaching in Spring each year are eligible for 8 hours in-service pay for Spring Conference or for any meetings or workshops on campus (including remote meetings and workshops this term). Consistent with the Coronavirus MOA, Part-time faculty teaching this Spring 2020 are also eligible for an additional 8 hours for a total of 16 hours compensation for meetings, workshops, and professional development related to online delivery this term only. These 16 hours are in addition to any hours that individual part-time faculty may have remaining from the Fall 2019 allocation.
