ARTICLE 14 ....... PARITY PDF Print E-mail

For purposes of defining parity between full-time and part-time faculty, Load Factor 1 assignments will be used.  The definition of parity is not intended to alter full-time faculty obligations under Article 6.


14.1     The District and the Faculty Association are committed ultimately to achieving 100% parity for part-time faculty.  100% parity would include the addition of all professional duties performed by full-time faculty, on a pro-rata basis.  Modification/addition of these duties will be subject to negotiation.


14.2     For part-time faculty with load factor one assignments, the instructional parity which includes class room teaching, preparation, and grading is defined at 75%.
For part-time faculty with load factor one assignments, parity for instructional plus office hours on a pro-rata basis is defined at 85%. 


14.3     For spring 2008 semester, part-time faculty with load factor one assignments shall be paid at 74% of the full-time faculty salary schedule (Appendix A-1). 
For spring 2008, all part-time faculty with at least an assignment of 5 LHE within the following courses shall receive one paid office hour per week: ESL 10, ESL 11A and 11B, ESL 17, ESL 21A and 21B; English 80, English 81A and 81B, English 83A and 83B, English 84R and 84W, English 21A and 21B, English 22, English 23, English 1, English 2 and Mathematics courses.


14.4     For academic year 2008-09, part-time faculty with load factor one assignments shall be paid at 75% of the full-time faculty salary schedule (Appendix A-1). 


Part-time faculty with at least an assignment of 6 LHE shall receive one paid office hour per week.

 

Part-time faculty with an assignment of at least 3 LHE but less than 6 LHE shall receive ½ hour of paid office hour per week.

 

All part-time faculty with at least an assignment of 5 LHE within the following courses shall receive one paid office hour per week: ESL 10, ESL 11A and 11B, ESL 17, ESL 21A and 21B; English 80, English 81A and 81B, English 83A and 83B, English 84R and 84W, English 21A and 21B, English 22, English 23, English 1, English 2 and Mathematics courses.


14.5     For Spring 2008 and academic year 2008-09, one hour of office hours shall be calculated according to the following formula:
The amount in the cell on Salary Schedule A-1 corresponding to the current placement of the part-time faculty member on salary schedule B-2 divided by 2 and multiplied by 2.5%.


14.6     For academic year 2009-10, part-time faculty with load factor one assignments shall be paid at 81.25% of the full-time faculty salary schedule (Appendix A-1). 


The additional 6.25% represents compensation for 10 minutes of office hours per unit required of all part-time faculty with a load factor one assignment.


14.7     Part-time faculty are not compensated for any office hour during intersessions and are not required to hold office hours.
