In order to coordinate our language courses with the majors to which they are related (for example, the Japanese major requires that students take courses in Japanese language, literature, and culture; the same is the case for our majors and minors in German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, and others), each language program is coordinated by a Senate faculty member, who is responsible for allocating teaching roles and proposing course schedules for Lecturers on a quarterly basis. Historically, this has meant that our Department has forwarded a schedule of courses for each language program, which is collated, along with the language courses in the Hispanic Studies Department, by the Enrollment Manager and, then, Registrar. In my experience as Chair, each quarter, after the Registrar would run the scheduling algorithm, a number of lower-division language courses in the Department of Comparative Literature and Languages would be returned to us as unschedulable, after first, second, and third time-slot options had been taken into account. This would then lead to the quite unenviable situation, where 5 or 6 lecturers needed to change their course schedules one quarter in advance of the time when that schedule was to be implemented; this led to massive complications, the reorganization of program teaching schedules, the collapse of sections\u2014and event that has long-term program enrollment consequences\u2014and other undesirable outcomes; it is this quandary which led me to re-think our approach to scheduling these courses in general. To re-think scheduling in this way, I met, on several occasions, and for some duration in each instance, with \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 (Director of Enrollment Management), \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 (Advisor Supervisor), and \u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 (Enrollment Manager). The consensus that we reached was that each Department in question\u2014Comparative Literature and Languages and Hispanic Studies\u2014 should assume complete control over the scheduling of the 8 language teaching rooms. At that time, \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 studied the enrollment histories of both Departments over a 5-year period, and determined that, historically, Comparative Literature and Languages has offered approximately 50 lower-division language courses per quarter, and Hispanic Studies, 30. Based upon this information, the two Department Chairs agreed to split the 8 rooms\u20145 were devoted to Comparative Literature and Languages, and 3 to Hispanic Studies\u2014and to assume full responsibility for scheduling them. What this has meant, for Comparative Literature and Languages, is that the Department Chair has effectively assumed the role of master scheduler for these courses. In consultation with \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587, \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587, and \u2587\u2587\u2587, we developed a series of rules, to be followed by each program in creating their lower-division language schedules. These are: (1) each program may schedule no more than half of its courses in prime time; (2) each program may not teach more than one course during a given hour; (2) large programs must teach at least one course from 8-9am and one from 5-6pm; (4) smaller programs must teach one course at one of these two times. I also built in a measure of flexibility, where some of our very small programs\u2014Greek and Latin, for example\u2014were allowed a greater measure of flexibility; for example, were we to offer Greek 1 at 8am\u2014and we teach one section of Greek per quarter\u2014we would, effectively, be ending the Greek language program at UCR, and this, we all agreed, was not a desirable outcome. Finally, the Department Chair collates all of the requests, and schedules these 50 sections; this schedule is passed on to the Enrollment manager, and, then, to the Registrar, who schedules these courses as requested. We implemented this new process this Fall, and it has worked spectacularly; programs have more control over scheduling; the Department is able to ensure that lecturers and teaching assistants are assigned to teach courses that do not conflict with job responsibilities or commuting requirements (in the case of our lecturers) or graduate seminars (in the case of our graduate students). The one whose work load was most significantly impacted by these changes was the Department Chair, who has, in effect, taken in the role of scheduling these courses. Finally, were the scheduling of these course to be absorbed into the new standard scheduling procedure, where they would be put into competition with other courses that wished to be scheduled on a M,T,W,R pattern, we would be back where we were when I began Chairing my Department in July 2017. Each quarter there would be a number of lecturers whose courses could not be scheduled, and, because of the scarcity of rooms, would be asked to teach at times when they could not teach, because of financial, job-related, commute-related and other reasons, which I\u2019ve described above. Since this created, in the recent past, outcomes that had significant negative consequences, I strongly recommend that the pre-scheduling agreement be retained. Since our teaching needs require lecturers with particular skill-sets, and because of the experience, training, and lived sensibility with and knowledge of languages required to teaching a language course, our lecturers are not interchangeable and cannot simply be replaced. We require a solution that accommodates needs; produces continuity and predictability, and, therefore, ensures the present and future success of our language programs and our students.", "hash": "e10a3b61445cc3422486a4f1f2961819", "id": 6}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "the-proposed", "type": "clause", "offset": [8, 20]}, {"key": "city-council", "type": "definition", "offset": [73, 85]}, {"key": "on-december", "type": "clause", "offset": [107, 118]}], "size": 1, "samples": [{"hash": "7Dwr9pVM5Sc", "uri": "/contracts/7Dwr9pVM5Sc#options-considered", "label": "Development Agreement", "score": 26.8755607605, "published": true}], "snippet": "Approve the proposed ordinance, forwarding the proposed ordinance to the City Council for a second reading on December 1, 2020.", "hash": "e344ccd5ccba4956172932052b8e7f76", "id": 7}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "the-proposed", "type": "clause", "offset": [8, 20]}, {"key": "the-mayor", "type": "clause", "offset": [40, 49]}, {"key": "change-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [65, 74]}, {"key": "the-development-agreement", "type": "clause", "offset": [75, 100]}], "size": 1, "samples": [{"hash": "26Mh3Ce3Rrl", "uri": "/contracts/26Mh3Ce3Rrl#options-considered", "label": "Development Agreement", "score": 27.162984848, "published": true}], "snippet": "Approve the proposed ordinance allowing the Mayor to execute the change to the Development Agreement.", "hash": "b709c6b6fa083551156bc23d8d50f1f6", "id": 8}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "the-district", "type": "clause", "offset": [18, 30]}, {"key": "learn-more", "type": "clause", "offset": [43, 53]}, {"key": "noise-abatement", "type": "clause", "offset": [60, 75]}], "size": 1, "samples": [{"hash": "dZ2V47tIFKN", "uri": "/contracts/dZ2V47tIFKN#options-considered", "label": "Intergovernmental Agreement", "score": 22.5564689636, "published": true}], "snippet": "Membership offers the District a chance to learn more about noise abatement projects and to help protect its residents\u2019 interests.
