Summer Term Appointments
Assignment Order
Campuses are not required to offer summer work first to all probationary and tenured faculty, but must first
offer work to enough probationary and tenured faculty to satisfy the percentages identified for each campus. Of
all faculty appointed in the summer term, the percentage by headcount who are probationary and tenured
faculty who are offered an appointment must be no less than 33%. Each department or college will maintain a
list of faculty who have been offered work.
Next, offer teaching assignments to qualified lecturers with 3 year appointment rights or 1 year appointment
rights if their time base entitlement pursuant to Article 12 was not fully satisfied during the immediately
preceding academic year. Assignments offered shall be up to the maximum timebase entitlement.
Then, offer teaching assignments to other qualified lecturers who taught in the immediately preceding academic
year.
Finally, campuses may offer teaching assignments to any other candidates.
Salary
Summer salary rates for faculty members who were employed in a state-supported unit 3 appointment in the
academic year preceding the summer term shall be based on the spring term salary rate, or on the salary rate
for the most recent term worked during that academic year.
Faculty who were not employed in a unit 3 appointment in any of the terms immediately preceding summer
term work do not have an academic year salary upon which to base their summer salary. Therefore, these
faculty may be appointed at any appropriate salary level within classification code 2357 for self-support summer
term employment or classification code 2457 for state-support summer term employment.
If a course has an enrollment of less than 20 students, the faculty member’s salary shall be reduced by 5% for
each student below 15. Salary shall be reduced to no lower than 65% of full salary. This applies to both statesupport and self-support courses.
All tenured and probationary faculty members employed in state-funded summer sessions who do not receive a
specific, compensated indirect instructional assignment in the summer term shall receive an indirect
instructional payment in the amount of $150 per each WTU of direct instructional work assigned for the summer
term. Payments will be made approximately at the end of each month.
