Faculty Teaching in Multiple Divisions Sample Clauses

Faculty Teaching in Multiple Divisions. ‌ A faculty member, who is properly qualified and was assigned less than the standard load in his or her primary division, due to a lack of available classes, may request a one-semester teaching assignment from unassigned sections for which they are qualified to teach in a secondary division by submitting a written notification to the ▇▇▇▇ of the primary division and a written request to the ▇▇▇▇ of the secondary division in which he or she wishes to teach. The secondary ▇▇▇▇ may interview the faculty member. Approval must be provided electronically or in writing by the ▇▇▇▇ of the secondary division to the faculty member and the ▇▇▇▇ of the primary division. Any disagreement may be appealed to the Vice President of Teaching, Learning and Student Development. Subsequent requests for a one-semester teaching assignment shall not be arbitrarily and capriciously denied, as long as unassigned sections are available. In the event multiple faculty request to teach the same unassigned section in the secondary division, then among those faculty members seniority ranking shall be honored in the second division. In addition, a faculty member who has already been assigned the standard load in his or her primary division may use the above process to request an assignment to teach unassigned classes in a secondary division, if doing so would not cause the applicable overload limit to be exceeded for that faculty member, or if permission to exceed the applicable overload limit is granted by the Vice President of Teaching, Learning, and Student Development. The College reserves the right to evaluate a faculty member who teaches in a secondary division for the first time. If a need exists for a subsequent evaluation, the unit member’s ▇▇▇▇/supervisor shall discuss the reasons with the unit member and Association representative (at the unit member’s option) prior to such evaluation. For the purpose of this section, a faculty member’s “standard load” shall mean the maximum regular load for that faculty member specified in the load assignment protocol, section 4.29, not including any overload or excess load.
