Dear Colleagues,

 COEHD, COLFA, HCaP, and CACP are working together to provide consistent and equitable compensation for off-contract teaching efforts during summer terms.  The guiding principles of this agreement are to (1) ensure student access to courses, (2) create an equitable compensation rate, (3) maintain disciplinary specific compensation, and (4) enable reliable budget forecasting related to expenditures, which are further articulated in the attached memo.

It is important to ensure that student success and access are prioritized when considering summer teaching assignments.  In creating an even distribution of course availability and teaching assignments, we ask that faculty work with their department chairs to help meet these goals within the constraints of disciplinary-specific curricula. 

With regards to creating an equitable compensation rate that is in-line with  disciplinary practice, we are developing a per course rate that will be applied to both T/TT faculty and NTT faculty.  We are currently finalizing an analysis of  the data and a memo that sets the compensation rate will be forthcoming.  

Best,

Margo
