ARTICLE 38 - FACULTY ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT POSITIONS
(NEW)
38.1 Faculty
Administrative Support Positions (FASPs). Faculty
administrative support positions (FASPs) refer to any
faculty positions providing administrative support for
faculty self-management activities, as a part of
governance, or as required by administrative agencies.
Such positions may be defined at the program, discipline,
department, division, or college-wide levels. Such
positions have had a variety of designations, including
lead faculty, program chairs and coordinators, department
chairs, college task group and task force members. Where
appropriate, FASPs will be defined within workgroup and
governance charters; and the rationale for faculty in the
position(s) will be delineated in an appropriate written
document.
38.2 Establishing and Maintaining
FASPS. Beginning Fall Term, 2000, FASPs will be
established and maintained according to the following
processes:
38.2.1 Specific job
descriptions and required competencies of FASPs will
be jointly developed with full input from all
stakeholders using appropriate procedures.
38.2.2 The pool of faculty who
meet the individual competencies, and collective
competencies for more than one position, shall be
established by consensus of staff involved (directly
or through representatives).
38.2.3 Faculty filling the
positions shall be chosen by all faculty (directly or
through representatives) affected by the position or
selected by rotation, from among faculty who meet the
individual competency requirements established for the
position(s), unless otherwise specified by a properly
certified charter. Where more than one faculty member
is needed, the faculty filling the positions shall
meet the collective competency requirements
established for the positions.
38.2.4 The appropriate unit
manager(s) will review the choice by faculty for FASPs
to assure compliance with competency requirements and
will facilitate any needed processes for hiring,
release time, or reassignment time.
38.3 Conditions of the FASP
Assignment. Conditions of the FASP assignment are the
following:
38.3.1 Incumbents must
maintain the requisite competency requirements.
38.3.2 The positions will have
fixed terms, and reappointment may occur.
38.3.3 The job description will
specifically exclude supervisory duties as prohibited
for faculty by applicable state law.
38.3.4 Unless specifically
designated otherwise, FASPs will be available only to
contracted faculty.
38.3.5 Teaching faculty members
in FASPs shall engage in teaching half their
employment or more.
38.3.6 A timely review of the
position will take place within the time of each
appointment.
38.3.7 Exceptions to the above
requirements may occur with the mutual agreement of
the College and Association.
38.4 Evaluation. Any
evaluation of the person's work filling a faculty
administrative support position shall be based on
performance in relation to the jointly developed specific
job descriptions and competency requirements and will
include the input of all stakeholders.
38.5 Resignation, Removal, and
Reassignment.
38.5.1 Unless specified
otherwise in this Agreement or properly executed
Memoranda of Agreements, faculty may resign from a
faculty administrative support position and return to
their regular assignment provided sufficient time is
available to reassign affected faculty.
38.5.2 Faculty shall only be
removed from a faculty administrative support position
based on inability to meet the job description
requirements. The reason for any removal shall be
reduced to writing by the appropriate manager, and
shall be available on request of the Association.
38.5.3 Any faculty member
resigning in a timely manner or removed will continue
to be compensated at their current rate until returned
to a regular assignment.
