The following article explains assignment rights for ALL  faculty.
 
ARTICLE 6.6: ASSIGNMENT-GENERAL PROVISIONS

Classroom Faculty (Full-time and Hourly): Department chairs, after taking into consideration the preference of tenured, probationary and hourly faculty members, shall recommend assignments to the appropriate academic administrator. This provision does not imply that re-employment is guaranteed for hourly faculty. Hourly faculty may be required to make their preferences known on a different form, and at a different time than may be required of the tenured and probationary faculty. The academic administrator shall have final responsibility for assignments but shall make a reasonable effort to confer with the department chairs or their designated alternates if changes are to be made in the courses to be taught or the time schedules of those courses. Under normal circumstances, class assignments of tenured and probationary faculty shall be made between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and may allow a week of  3, 4, or 5 scheduled teaching days.

When it is necessary in order to complete a full assignment, a faculty member may be assigned to any time during the regular day or evening schedule, but such an assignment should be made only under special circumstances. If tenured or probationary faculty members are required to teach an evening class as part of their contract load, they shall not be required to teach before 9:00 a.m. on the following day.

Counselors, Librarians and Health Services: Schedules, including but not limited to student contact, meetings, and preparation time, shall be authorized by the appropriate administrator after consultation with the faculty member.
