Common use of Work Experience Type Assignment Clause in Contracts

Work Experience Type Assignment. Part Two: 1 Investigatory -- TFGs will attempt to document the current load factor (assignment type) and maximum class size for each course offered in the District. Similar courses at different colleges will be compared, as will current practice, published course schedules and college catalogs. TFGs will note the number of lecture hours, lab hours, combined lecture/lab hours, activity hours, etc., as well as published class maximums for every course. Once all courses are documented, the LTF will identify any areas of intercampus and intracampus differences and research the history behind such differences. The LTF and/or TFGs will discuss with each department possible changes or improvements taking into account all available data, including where possible productivity ratios, Carnegie unit alignment, facilities capacity, etc. in order to learn if changes to load factors or class sizes would improve outcomes or increase efficiencies. Factors under consideration will include preparation, assessment in class or lab as well as outside-of-class-or-lab time, safety and facility issues. 2 Advisory -- The LTF will make recommendations to departments, college administrations and to the negotiating teams, as appropriate. Where proposed changes are revenue neutral, departments will be able to request load adjustments according to Article 7.2.3.4 of the UF Contract with or without a recommendation from the LTF. Where proposed changes to load or class sizes result in savings or costs, the LTF will make recommendations to the negotiating teams, with the concurrence of affected departments, to be considered in collective bargaining for the 2015/2016 academic year, at which time the Load Task Force provision will sunset unless extended by mutual agreement. Recommendations of the LTF will require consensus and will be non-binding.
