7.9 Compensation for Other Services
7.9.1 Summer School Teaching
Remuneration for teaching in a summer session is directly related to the regular teaching faculty salary schedule for any given year. All instructors, whether part time or members of the teaching faculty, are paid at the summer school rate for summer school teaching.
The salary per semester hour for summer school teaching is determined by:
- multiplying the faculty base salary by 60% (teaching is only a portion of a faculty member's academic year load, in addition to scholarship, advising and service);,
- multiplying the teaching portion of the faculty base salary by 120% to get the base summer salary;
- dividing that result by seven ( the number of courses defined as a full load);
- dividing that result by 3.5 (average semester hours of a course).
Rounding occurs at each of the last two steps.
Reductions in these salaries occur if fewer than six students (four, for graduate-level courses) enroll in a course.
7.9.2 Independent Studies and Tutorials
Faculty will not be compensated for supervising undergraduate tutorial study projects during the regular academic year; they will be compensated for such supervision during the summer sessions. Faculty will be compensated for supervising graduate tutorial study, regardless of when students enroll in them.
The compensation for supervising a summer undergraduate independent study or tutorial is one-half of the full tuition rate for the course. The compensation for supervising a graduate thesis or project, a graduate independent study, or a graduate course on tutorial basis is two-thirds of the full summer tuition rate for that course.
No faculty member will be reimbursed for supervising more that six such projects, theses, or courses in an academic year (September 1 - August 31). A second reader of a graduate thesis shall receive $150.
7.9.3 Administrative or Other Non-Teaching Assignments
Compensation for non-teaching assignments is determined by the provost. Normally such compensation is either a teaching-load reduction or a stipend. Such a stipend is normally tied to the summer school teaching pay scale and, in general, is not considered part of the faculty member's salary in determining other benefits, such as pension contributions.
7.9.4 Non-teaching Duties During an Approved Family Care Leave
Faculty members taking a full semester of approved family care leave without teaching may receive 2 semester hours of teaching credit for maintaining routine non-teaching duties during the semester of the leave. These routine duties may include research, course development, advising, committee work, writing letters of recommendation, or other activities approved by their chair and the provost's office and should be the equivalent of about 3 weeks of full-time work. The mix of activities is flexible, and faculty members may spread them throughout the leave as is appropriate to their situations.
Faculty members will submit a one-page proposal outlining the type of non-teaching activities that they will do to their chair and the provost's office for approval before compensation will be calculated. If a CRF is used during the same semester as the family care leave, the routine activities may not include research.
