Temporary Reassigned Time for Exceptional Levels of Service to the College. For each fiscal year, the District shall provide a pool of 50 LHE, divisible into 1.0 LHE increments, to provide temporary reassigned time to professors who are engaged in exceptional levels of services that support the College, but who are not otherwise receiving an adjustment in workload to reflect that effort. For each fiscal year, the District shall provide an additional pool of 25 LHE, divisible into 1.0 LHE increments, dedicated exclusively to provide temporary reassigned time to professors who are engaged in exceptional levels of service that support the College’s interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion, but who are not otherwise receiving an adjustment in workload to reflect that effort. One (1) LHE of reassigned time reflects an expectation of forty-two and two-thirds (42.67) hours of service. (15 LHE = 40 hours/week x 16 weeks, so 1 LHE = 40 x 16/15 = 42.67 hours) Assigned time from this pool may be awarded to professors to perform projects that require professors' expertise. Such projects may include the exploration, development, or implementation of high-impact educational practices (Faculty Inquiry Groups), new program creation, and other services to the college that goes significantly beyond the normal expectation of all professors. In addition, assigned time from this pool may be awarded to small scale proposals that would otherwise qualify for consideration under Article 16.K. (sabbaticals). No single project assigned time from this pool shall be awarded more than 9 LHE. In addition, the District agrees to allocate up to $5,000 each year for supplies and equipment requested for these projects.
