Number of Hours. 11.1.3.3.1 Except as noted below, a full-time contract/regular unit member shall schedule and hold five (5) office hours per week, at least one each day during which a teaching assignment is scheduled for that employee. In the case where a contract/regular unit member is scheduled to teach less than five (5) days per week, the five required office hours per week shall be held over a minimum of four (4) days per week. In the case where a unit member teaches an evening class as part of his/her load on the same day as he/she teaches a day class, office hours shall be scheduled that are contiguous to both the day and evening offerings. Therefore, such a unit member may hold two office hours on one day, one near the daytime class(es) and the other near the evening class(es). Evening is defined as a class that starts at or after 5 p.m. A unit member who teaches an off-campus class as part of a regular load will hold an office hour contiguous to the off-campus offering. Pursuant to this article, faculty may not be required to hold an office hour five (5) days per week. However, contract/regular faculty must attend division, department and shared governance meetings which can be scheduled Monday through Friday. 11.1.3.3.2 Regular and contract unit members who work less than full-time and adjunct unit members shall schedule and hold the same ratio of office hours as their instructional assignment bears to a full time assignment.
