Common use of Assignment Priority Clause in Contracts

Assignment Priority. If necessary due to course cancellations or other unforeseen circumstances, a full-time faculty member may be assigned a course section previously assigned to associate faculty in order to provide the full-time member with a full workload. This must take place before the first day of class; exceptions may be granted by the appropriate vice president. A full-time faculty member may not be assigned a section previously assigned to associate faculty solely for the purpose of teaching overload (unless the overload is necessary for load balancing within an academic year).
