Work Load. ‌ The professional obligation of academic employees comprises both scheduled and non-scheduled activities. The Guild and the District recognize that it is part of the professional responsibility of faculty to carry out their duties in an appropriate manner and place. As part of this responsibility tenured/tenure-track faculty are expected to play an important role in the recruitment and retention of students, campus and departmental governance, program review, accreditation, planning, and mentoring. Faculty commitment to retention will be demonstrated by informing students that they are to talk with the instructor prior to dropping the course. Faculty are encouraged to include a statement to this effect in their course syllabi. While it is understood that course syllabi content falls within the purview of the individual faculty member’s academic freedom, the parties understand that items required to be part of syllabi in order to maintain college accreditation must be included. Syllabi content must comply with all District policies; support accessibility for students of varying physical and mental abilities; and meet negotiated performance standards for cultural responsiveness, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in instruction. Tenured/tenure-track faculty who have less than a full-time contract are not eligible to work any additional assignments including long-term substitution (day-to-day substitution is allowed provided the limits specified in Section 5.2.1.3 are not exceeded). Faculty assignments shall be made in the following priority order: Tenured/tenure-track, pro-rata, overload, Priority of Assignment (POA) adjunct faculty assignments, then non-POA adjunct faculty. Subject to the preceding, upon request, (and provided their most recent evaluation has been rated as satisfactory or above) tenured and tenure-track faculty shall be provided up to 0.40 FTEF overload assignments within their current contract discipline when sections are available based on enrollment. With approval of the Chancellor, tenured and tenure-track faculty may be assigned beyond a 0.40 FTEF overload. Tenured/tenure-track classroom faculty may accept non-classroom hourly assignments as an overload without those hours counting toward their load. Tenured/tenure- track non-classroom faculty may accept non-classroom hourly assignments outside of their contractual discipline as an overload without those hours counting toward their load.
