Summer Instructional Contracts Sample Clauses
Summer Instructional Contracts. The Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine which courses it may offer during the summer or intersession periods. The University reserves the right to cancel courses for any reason, including but not limited to failure to enroll sufficient students. Once the Board determines that it may offer a course during summer or intersession, the Board shall determine whether the course will be offered to a Faculty member on an enrollment-contingent basis. If enrollment- contingent courses are offered, the parties agree that a percentage of total tuition revenue will be retained by Central Administration (e.g., to cover overhead costs); instructor salary costs shall be allocated from the portion of the tuition revenue distributed to the college. Nothing shall prevent the Board from discussing the course and gauging interest of Faculty members or others prior to making a contingent offer to teach the course. In determining the assignment of summer instructional contracts, the factors the Board shall consider include, but are not limited to:
1. Student needs (e.g., enrollments and graduation requirements, including internships);
2. Unit needs; and
3. Faculty member’s expertise. Once the Board has determined that a Faculty member will be provided a contingent offer to teach a summer or intersession course(s), the Board shall provide a written contingent offer for the course(s).

The date by which enrollment shall be met shall be not less than five (5) and not more than ten (10) days prior to the start date for the course. If enrollment reaches the minimum established by Board by the fifth (5th) day of the course, then the Faculty member shall receive compensation at the equivalent of one month’s salary for every three (3) credit hours taught. In establishing the minimum enrollment necessary to compensate the Faculty member at the equivalent of one month’s salary for every three (3) credit hours taught, the Board shall determine a good faith estimate of the costs of delivering the course during the summer/intersession and a good faith estimate of t...

b. Faculty teaching summer classes will be compensated at the equivalent of one month’s salary for every three (3) credit hours taught.
c. Summer Instructional Contracts will typically be offered no later than May 1 (April 15 for Maymester courses only).
d. To minimize disruption to students and Faculty, the University shall not cancel Summer Term course sections if enrollment meets or exceeds these thresholds for courses taught by an individual faculty member: 15 for 100- and 200-level courses 10 for 300- and 400-level courses 5 for 500- and higher-level courses For team taught courses (e.g., IS courses), the minimum enrollment levels would be as follows: 30 for 100- and 200-level courses 20 for 300- and 400-level courses 10 for 500- and higher-level courses During the registration period, the University and Faculty shall monitor course enrollments, and the ▇▇▇▇’▇ office shall coordinate with Department Chairs to identify under enrolled course sections. In the event minimum enrollment has not been met by two (2) weeks before the start date of the course, the University may cancel the Summer course offering. However, to ensure student needs are met, failure to meet minimum enrollment for a course shall not automatically result in cancellation of the course. Extenuating circumstances (e.g., graduation requirements) shall be considered in order to avoid cancellation of a class.
