Full-Time to Associate Teaching Ratio Clause Samples

Full-Time to Associate Teaching Ratio. ‌ Recognizing that a core of full-time instructors is essential for high-quality instruction and that the College has no intent to reduce the number of full-time faculty, the current practice generally shall prevail with full-time instructors assigned to teach approximately two-thirds (2/3) of the total credit hours taught. This ratio will be determined by an equation where the numerator is the number of full-time faculty positions and the denominator is the number of credit hours taught by associate faculty divided by 45. Excluded from the associate credit hour load is: apprenticeship, PGE and other utility training contracts, individual lessons, backfill for sabbatical, customized training, advanced college credit, high school classes taught by high school instructors, community education self-improvement, non-reimbursable, study abroad, hosted distance learning, non-credit classes, CEU, no instructor of record and associate faculty annually contracted classes. Since it is not the intent of this Article to cause anyone to monitor term-by-term assignments, but rather to assess annual trends, the College President and the Association President will meet by November 1 of each year to make certain that the previous school year full-time to associate credit hour ratio has not changed significantly from the ratio of 1.92. If the ratio moves below 1.85 the College agrees to correct the percentage to within the specified range for the following budget year.
