Preferences will be honored when possible and it does not conflict with existing department scheduling procedures.
Departments will address in their written guidelines what will be the process for implementing part-time preference in scheduling (by November 15, 2006).
Process • HR will make applications available to part-time faculty in their seventh semester. • District Human Resources will provide history regarding semesters of employment and load information for part-time faculty to college Human Resource offices and to all departments and divisions. • Eligible faculty member submits application to college HR by October 6, 2006. • HR attaches latest evaluation and sends packet to appropriate department chair.
What department review teams must do • The department chair and division dean review applicants to determine eligibility. • In the absence of any disqualifying conditions, a faculty member in group 1 or 2 is granted preference rights without any further review. • The department chair and division dean review applicants in group 3 to determine whether or not to grant preference rights based on the evaluation criteria. • If the department chair and division dean cannot reach agreement about whether to grant preference rights for a faculty member, the department chair convenes the review team, which includes the evaluator or designee. • The review team decides by consensus whether or not to grant preference rights to the applicant. • Applicants denied preference rights have the right to appeal; however, the decision is non-grievable. • Preference rights are granted until the faculty member no longer meets the criteria.
