^* Chair load credit hours are calculated as the sum of four factors:
    1. Departmental faculty FTE (FT + 1/3 PT) x .125 x 2 semesters (PT is >6hrs/sem & <24hrs/yr)
    2. Average number of departmental major graduates for last 3 years x .02 x 2 semesters
    3. Average number of departmental minor graduates for last 3 years x .01 x 2 semesters
    4. Total number of hours taught in the department in previous 2 semesters/1000 x .2

Chair load is compensated as follows:
    1. If load credit is less than 3 hours & teaching load is 24 or more, cash for entire credit.
    2. If load credit is more than 3 hours & teaching load is 21 or more, cash for the excess above 3.
         (In other words, course reduction is expected. Overload must be negotiated.)

Special Teaching Tasks:                                                                                                                

1 Classes require 15hrs contact/credit, Tutorials 7.5hrs contact/credit, Indpd Studies have NO minimum faculty student contact however,

      there should be approximately 50hrs of student time spent/hour of credit granted.

* Elem Ed=1hr/7visits, Sec Ed=1hr/7visits (split 4+3 between Ed & Content faculty), Music & P.E.=1hr/7visits (split 2+5 between Ed &

      Music/P.E. faculty).

+ Tuition collected is 1.5 times the regular rate/credit hour.

# Tuition collected is the regular rate PLUS the Applied Music fee (which varies by hours earned)

Credit Hour Equivalences for Laboratory and Studio Work:

                * Hours here are 50 minute "hours"

                        ⁺ Art faculty teach 7 courses/year (4 @3 units+3 @3 units) for a total of 21 credit load.  However this means 28 hours of contact time with students (16+12) (Studio courses are taught with 2 sessions of 2 hours each WITH faculty and 1 session of 2 hours in studio WITHOUT faculty always present; as indicated in chart above.)  Sometimes/Often the 7th course is a lecture class NOT a studio class so in this case the contact time during the semester with 4 courses would be 15 (3 @4hrs + 1 @3hrs) not 16.

                ** Multiple sections are combined and team taught with plenary lectures and smaller discussion groups: Teamed faculty both receive 1 hr course load credit for shared plenary lectures and each receives 1 hr credit for each discussion section.  The total load credit assigned remains the same as if the multiple sections of approximately 40 students each were each handled by a single faculty member receiving 3 hrs load credit per section.

                # .5 load credit per contact hour/week (Note definition of contact “hours” above)

Publication Stipends: (Faculty Affairs Committee 4/98) Up to a maximum of $350 per year.

$250 – Book, Solo Art Show, Solo Recital
$100 – Refereed article, Invited paper/lecture in discipline
