Teaching Load. 4.3.1 A full-time teaching load consists of approximately fifteen (15) lecture hour equivalents each semester. Each lecture hour taught is equated to one (1) lecture hour equivalent, LHE and after July 1, 2017, each laboratory or activity hour is equated to approximately .83 of a lecture hour equivalent. Appendix A identifies those courses for which additional workload credit is granted. 4.3.1.1 The SCEA, and the District agree to establish, with the Academic Senate, a committee to recommend which laboratory courses should be defined as “extensive preparation lab classes” and therefore receive an increased lab/lecture ratio or faculty stipend. The committee shall consist of one representative from each of the groups listed above. The committee shall be tasked with establishing guidelines to determine which lab classes are “extensive preparation labs”, proposed lab rate increases, and/or the value of faculty stipends (if appropriate). The committee shall submit its recommendations to the District and SCEA negotiating teams by Spring 2018. The work of this committee does not preclude collective bargaining between the parties regarding laboratory stipends to be paid after the 2016-17 fiscal year. 4.3.2 In the event that a Unit Member's load assignment for one (1) semester contains fewer than, or more than, the hours required for a full load, the underage or overage will be carried over to the next semester. The Unit Member's load may be adjusted in the next semester by increasing or decreasing the number of instructional hours. If the underage is or exceeds two (2) LHE, that underage must be cleared from the next available overload. If the variance exceeds two (2) hours or more, the adjustment shall be made in the next semester, unless there is mutual agreement between the Unit Member and the ▇▇▇▇ to postpone the adjustment. 4.3.3 A Unit Member teaching on contract may be required to teach an evening class in order to complete his/her contract teaching load. Unit Members within a discipline may develop a rotating schedule for evening assignments subject to ▇▇▇▇ approval. Prior to the ▇▇▇▇ assigning an evening contract class to a Unit Member, the Unit Member will be provided the following options: 4.3.3.1 Select an evening contract assignment within the School for which the ▇▇▇▇ and the Unit Member agree that the Unit Member is qualified to teach. 4.3.3.2 Replace a day part-time Unit Member in a scheduled class within the School that the Unit Member and the ▇▇▇▇ agree that the Unit Member is qualified to teach. The ▇▇▇▇ will not be required to adjust class meeting times in order to create this option. 4.3.3.3 Request a reduction in service leave for the semester in lieu of a night contract class assignment. 4.3.4 If the Unit Member is assigned to teach a contract evening course, then he/she shall not be assigned a contract class prior to 9:00 a.m. the following day without the Unit Member's consent. If a Unit Member is assigned to teach an evening contract class, the ▇▇▇▇ will make an effort to avoid assigning that Unit Member a day class on the same day. The parties recognize that this provision doesn't require the ▇▇▇▇ to change another Unit Member's schedule without his/her consent. 4.3.5 If the Unit Member refuses to accept any of the three (3) available options, the ▇▇▇▇ shall assign the Unit Member to a class for which the Unit Member is qualified to teach. 4.3.6 The ▇▇▇▇, with the approval of the cognizant Vice President, may offer a Unit Member reassigned time for a special project to fulfill a contract agreement. 4.3.7 Normally, a teaching load consists of no more than three (3) separate preparations. Face-to-face and on-line sections of the same course are considered separate preparations. In some cases, Unit Member preference or necessity requires the assignment of more than three (3) preparations. Such exceptions are to be determined by the ▇▇▇▇ after consultation with the Unit Member involved. The necessity to exceed three (3) separate preparations in one (1) semester shall be related to the curricular offerings within the School, the time constraints of the schedule, and/or the availability of a contract Unit Member to teach the courses offered within the School. 4.3.8 A Unit Member shall not be required to accept Independent Study students. 4.3.9 A Unit Member may not be assigned to more than three (3) consecutive hours of lecture, except when a single class meeting exceeds three (3) hours, or two (2) laboratory or activity classes in one (1) day unless by prior agreement between the Unit Member and the ▇▇▇▇. 4.3.10 The ▇▇▇▇ shall consult with the Unit Member in the development of his/ her preliminary teaching schedule. 4.3.11 Full-time Unit Members may accept up to six (6) hours per week of overload teaching or additional work assignment for extra pay.

Teaching Load. 4.3.1 A full-time a. The standard academic year teaching load consists of approximately for tenure-track and tenured faculty shall be eighteen (18) credit hours or load hours. The standard academic year teaching load for instructors, lecturers, specialist professors and senior lecturer/specialist professors shall be twenty-four (24) credit hours or loads hours. Load balancing in an academic year shall not require the faculty member to carry more than fifteen (15) lecture hour equivalents credit or load hours in any one semester.
b. All teaching loads beyond the standards set forth in Section B.11(a) in an academic year are overloads. Overloads of three or more credits shall be subject to the approval of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and agreement of the faculty member. Full-time faculty members shall not teach more than 6 credit hours per semester in addition to the faculty member’s standard load either at other institutions or at a combination of Monmouth and other institutions. Exceptions will be granted by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ only in extraordinary cases and for cause. See Article IX, Section E, Paragraphs 7(b) and 7(d) regarding teaching at other institutions and Article X, Section D for overload compensation.
1. Tenure-track faculty should teach a course overload, of three (3) or more credits, only when required due to an emergency situation or other extraordinary circumstances.
2. Faculty who receive a terminal three-year contract at tenure candidacy may not teach an overload.

It is understood that this provision does not preclude other reductions for such faculty as may be appropriate (such as for administrative assignment).
d. In order that tenure-track and tenured librarians may have time to produce scholarship and at the same time provide continuous and regular staffing coverage necessary for the library, the following schedule will be established. Tenure-track and tenured Librarians may choose to work 4.5 fewer hours per week in order to devote themselves to scholarship and receive 1.5 credits of overload payment for each semester. Each lecture In the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, tenure-track and tenured librarians will continue to devote 4.5 hours per week to scholarship and will receive 2/9 of three (3) credits of overload compensation each summer in recognition of their working eleven (11), instead of ten (10), months per year. In conjunction with the University Librarian, these 4.5-hour taught increments can be scheduled flexibly and, where possible, aggregated to permit usage in 7.25 hour increments provided the other scheduling needs of the library are met. For example, a Librarian under this paragraph would apply 18 hours toward scholarship in a four week period. That Librarian may have two 7.25 hour days devoted to scholarship scheduled by the University Librarian during this period, with a balance of 3.5 hours to be applied in a subsequent week. Tenure-track and tenured librarians will be subject to the same scholarship review process as other faculty. The scheduling of scholarship time under this section shall be coordinated and approved by the University Librarian. Non tenure-track librarians shall not be eligible for the benefits listed in this paragraph.
e. In courses for which the credit and the scheduled contact hours differ, such as laboratories, studios, etc., the load hour for such a course is equated the average of the credits and the scheduled contact hours.

If the course is taught in a “fully-integrated” style, then each faculty member will receive the same credit for which the course as if they were teaching the course individually. A fully-integrated style of team-teaching requires that the course is collaboratively designed, taught, and graded, and both instructors attend and participate in nearly all class meetings. Team-taught courses, that have previously been approved shall be reviewed again by the Chair, the ▇▇▇▇ and the Unit Member agree that the Unit Member is qualified to teach.

For courses which are assigned load hours in excess of the credit hours attached to such courses (for example, a 3 credit course that carries 4 load hours for the faculty member), faculty teaching sections of such courses which have student enrollments at or below 35% of capacity may be offered by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ assigning alternative load hour compensation for teaching such courses. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in making such an evening contract class offer, shall consult with the faculty member assigned to a Unit Memberteach the course, the Unit Member Department Chair and the school ▇▇▇▇ and shall consider such factors as the nature of the course, the amount of time necessary to teach the course, the extent to which the time necessary to teach the course is impacted by the number of students enrolled in the course, and other appropriate factors.

If the course is taught in a “fully-integrated” style, then each faculty member will receive the same credit for the course as if they were teaching the course individually. A fully-integrated style of team-teaching requires that the course is collaboratively designed, taught, and graded, and both instructors attend and participate in nearly all class meetings.
