Understanding the salary schedule for faculty with non-instructional assignments
A part-time faculty member who is a counselor, a librarian, in the Center for Wellness and Wellbeing, or DSPS, may have assignments that are purely instructional, purely non-instructional, or a combination of both, depending on the semester. Before this new contract, those different kinds of assignments often did not combine to allow for step advancement on all the old salary schedules. Now they all count equally in step advancement, just as they do for a full-time faculty member. A full-time faculty member needs to complete 30 Lecture Hour Equivalents (LHE) to advance one step on the salary schedule, regardless of their assignment or department. Now the same is true for all part-time faculty members. Still, most of us are not used to thinking about assignments in terms of LHE so this will take some getting used to.
Because many of you have your own different assignment situations, I have made links below to cover the main kinds of assignments you might encounter, so first try and find the category that most closely fits your situation, but feel free to look at any of the pages to see other examples.
