III. R. Instructional Staff Work Assignments
All Full-time instructors shall work a minimum of 40 hours each week (i.e., each established 7-day work period). The minimum working hours requirement includes authorized time-off for approved leave as well as designated State holidays. Meal periods are unpaid and shall not be considered “hours worked” for the purpose of meeting this obligation.
Instructors may be required to work additional hours, as necessary, to meet college objectives or needs of students, without further compensation.
A full-time instructor’s optimal teaching assignment will include 25 instructional hours (i.e., direct student contact instructional hours) supplemented by indirect instructional support activities each work week as required and shall be assigned by the President or his/her designee.
Direct student contact instructional activities are defined as those in a traditional or non-traditional classroom, laboratory, or clinical setting.
Authorized indirect instructional activities may include such activities as: student advisement; class preparation; evaluation of instructional-related project(s) or assignment(s); supervising program(s); registration; job development and placement activities; recruitment; professional growth and development; consultation with industrial and community representatives; maintenance of instructional equipment; curriculum design, development, and/or revision; accreditation activities; instructional committee activities, advisory committee meetings; recordkeeping; student-related activities; and, any other authorized instructional or college-related activity, such as graduation.
