I.                REFERENCES AND RELATED POLICIES

 

A.     Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

 

Refer to the body of this issuance and to the index for specific applicable sections of the Memorandum of Understanding.

 

B.     Contract Administration Manual (CAM)

 

Refer to body of this issuance and to the index for specific applicable sections of the Contract Administration Manual. The Contract Administration Manual is a training outline developed by the Office of Labor Relations of the University of California for the administration of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University of California and the University Council, American Federation of Teachers (UC-AFT). This manual should be read in conjunction with the MOU and other subsequent University instructions.

 

II.              POLICY

 

A temporary appointment occurs when a person is employed by UCSD for a specific period of time with a stated ending date on the appointment. This issuance will discuss policies pertaining to the appointment of temporary academics in the Unit 18 bargaining unit; however, all persons involved in the appointment review process must also refer to the Memorandum of Understanding, and the Contract Administration Manual for more detailed statements of policies affecting use of titles, criteria for appointment, affirmative action, the review process, etc.

 

A Memorandum of Understanding has been entered into between The Regents of the University of California and the University Council-American Federation of Teachers. If there is a conflict between this issuance and the Memorandum of Understanding, the Memorandum shall prevail.

 

A.    Funding

 

1.     Before an appointment of a Unit 18 member can be made, there must be funding available to the department or program for the appointment.

 

2.     Temporary positions of one year's duration can be funded from temporary provisions in the department/program or from permanent faculty salary funds which have been released due to leaves of absence and approved for departmental use. Temporary appointments of more than one year's duration can only be funded from temporary provisions assigned to the department or program for at least the duration of the appointment.

 

B.    Recruitment and Affirmative Action

 

1.     A thorough and determined search should be made both inside and outside the University for candidates including candidates who are minorities, women, handicapped persons, disabled veterans, and Vietnam era veterans. Department chairs and/or heads of Organized Research Units, Programs and Divisions (hereafter referred to as chairs) must insure compliance with policy. Any questions should be directed to the Assistant Academic Affirmative Action Coordinator.

 

Each department unit must actively pursue the goals of Academic Affirmative Action in all phases of hiring. However, the extensive recruiting effort required for covered appointments is not required for the following types of temporary appointments.

 

a.     "Visiting" titles for those individuals who are on leave from an educational institution.

 

b.     Nonsalaried appointments.

c.     Appointments for 50% time or less.

 

d.     Appointments for two quarters or less (nine-month basis) or six months or less (eleven- month basis).

 

e.     Graduate student employment, i.e., Associate in (e.g., Literature).

 

2.     All recruiting is subject to the limitation that appointments must conform to established University policies. Special conditions must be observed before initiating negotiations with the prospective employee who is:

 

a.     Employed on another University of California campus or by another California Institution. State University faculty can, with the specific permission of their dean, teach one course per year for UCSD and receive salary that does not exceed 20% of their 100% State University salary, except for University Extension service.

 

b.     A near relative of an appointee in the department or unit.

 

c.     A noncitizen. Special attention must be given to recruitment to be sure that the candidate holds a visa and employment authorization which allows compensation for services.

 

C.    Title

 

The title proposed for a temporary appointee must be appropriate for the function and duties the candidate will perform. In proposing salary level for Unit 18 faculty, the following should be considered: highest degree attained; date Ph.D. was obtained, if any; teaching experience and ability; present status at home institution, if any; scholarly achievements, if any; and professional reputation, where applicable.

 

Special attention must be paid to the criteria for appointment applicable to titles or series as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding, Article V, page 4 and the Contract Administration Manual, Article V, C-98.

 

Titles appropriate for temporary appointees who are represented by the American Federation of Teachers (Unit 18 Members) are:

 

1.     Lecture/Senior Lecturer

 

Individuals who have full or partial responsibility for instruction of assigned courses for a specified period of time. Senior Lecturer titles shall be given to appointees who qualify for the Lecturer title who provide service of exceptional value to the University and whose salary is at the Professor level.

 

2.     Supervisor of Teacher Education

 

Individuals who are responsible for activities/classes in the Teacher Education Program. This title shall be concurrent with a Non-Salaried Lecturer title if the appointee has full or partial responsibility for assigned courses.

 

3.     Teacher - Special Programs

 

Individuals who teach activity classes in the Department of Physical Education.

 

The title Lecturer -- Non-Salaried is used for individuals who volunteer to teach or participate in an instructional function that requires an instructional title, e.g., serving on dissertation committees. This title is not included in the Unit 18 bargaining unit.

 

D.    Salaries (MOU and CAM Article XXII)

 

Salaries for exclusively represented appointees are set through the collective bargaining process. The range adjustment for Unit 18 members is determined through the collective bargaining process. The following pay schedules shall be used for Unit 18 members:

 

1.     Academic Standard Table of Pay Rates (MOU, Appendix F)

 

Refer to this Table for salary steps within the published range for Lecturer/Senior Lecturer series and Teachers of Special Programs.

 

2.     Supervisor of Teacher Education Salaries (MOU, Appendix F)

 

Unit members shall not be paid on a "By Agreement" basis except where there has been a practice of paying such individuals doing similar work on a "By Agreement" basis (MOU XXII-C and CAM C-128); the Academic Personnel Office must have evidence of such past practice.

 

Unit 18 appointees coming from private industry shall be paid a salary commensurate with their academic qualifications; they should not be paid a salary that exceeds 75% of their industrial salary. Unit members will concurrent fiscal-year appointments (e.g., Researcher) in the University of California shall receive 86% of their fiscal-year salary. All salaries are adjusted to fit the established pay schedules.

 

In general the salary level for unit members depends upon the date of the highest degree attained (e.g., Ph.D. date), teaching experience and ability, and current salary (if any). Recent Ph.D. graduates are paid at the entry level, unless their experience as instructors is over and above that of a Teaching Assistant.

 

E.     Responsibilities of Department Chair

 

Recommendations for appointments normally originate with the chair. Letters of recommendation shall provide a description of the candidate's qualifications, proposed role in the department, and other detailed evidence to support the evaluation, such as justification of the proposed salary, workload, etc. The letter also may present a report of the chair's consultation with the members of the department, including any dissenting opinion, as well as a description of the national search conducted by the department, if any, to satisfy the Academic Affirmative Action requirements. In addition to the letter of recommendation, the chair is expected to assemble and submit an up-to- date biography together with curriculum vitae, publications, and other scholarly/creative work, if any. Opinions from colleagues in other institutions where the candidate has served and from other qualified persons having first-hand knowledge of the nominee's attainments shall be included.

 

F.     UCSD Workload Policy

 

1.     Appointees to the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer titles in Unit 18 shall teach nine instructional workload courses (IWC) during the entire academic year (or three courses per quarter) when employed at 100% time. An instructional workload course is one that is regularly scheduled, requires significant academic preparation by the instructor outside the class, and meets a minimum of three hours per week.

 

2.     A course is comprised of the lectures and sections listed in the Schedule of Classes. It is the responsibility of the Instructor to cover sections if Teaching Assistants, or other support personnel, have not been assigned to the course by the department. Responsibility for covering sections is not a basis for increasing the workload assigned to a course.

 

3.     The training of Teaching Assistants assigned to the course, including those enrolled in Apprentice Teaching 500, Apprentice Teaching 501 and the Teaching Apprentice Program, is an integral part of the instructor's responsibility for the course and will not be assigned extra workload credit.

 

G.    Workload and Course Equivalencies for Unit 18 Employees (Exhibit D)

 

The following course equivalencies have been established for the San Diego campus:

 

1.     Basic Language Course

 

Basic language courses are not equivalent to regular courses and, therefore, are not subject to the one-and-a-half course credits for being taught for the first time (see G.4. below).

 

2.     Colloquia and Seminars

 

A colloquium or seminar will be counted as an instructional workload course and included in the nine-course load assignment if, in the judgment of the Dean, it requires equivalent preparation, is listed in the schedule of classes, and the enrollment history shows a consistent pattern of enrollments at or above the minimum required by the Academic Senate. Such courses shall not receive a workload value greater than 1.0.

 

3.     Composition

 

Four sections of composition are equivalent to three instructional workload courses. The workload for a 100% time appointee for the academic year is twelve (12) sections. This applies to freshman writing sections and comparable writing sections offered by departments and College Writing Programs.

 

4.     First-Time Taught Courses

 

An appointee teaching an instructional workload course for the first time at the University of California, San Diego, may--upon review by the appropriate Dean of the required preparation--receive an additional fifty percent (50%) workload credit, but not to exceed one- half (.50) of an instructional workload course (IWC) based on the established workload value of the course. This workload credit can be applied only once to a given course.

 

5.     Graduate Courses

 

All 200 level courses are valued at 1.0.

 

6.     Independent Study

 

All courses numbered 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 295, 296, 297, 298, and 299 are assigned a workload value of 0.0.

 

7.     Laboratory, Design, Performance, and Elementary Language Courses

 

A workload value has been established for each of the Laboratory, Design, Performance, and Elementary Language courses shown on the "Workload Values by Department", Exhibit D. All other Laboratory, Design, Performance, and Elementary Language courses are valued at 1.0.

 

8.     Large Enrollment Courses

 

An appointee assigned an instructional workload course with an enrollment of 200 or more students may receive, upon review by the Dean of the additional workload arising from class size, a workload credit of 1.5. The decision to grant the credit shall rest on the history of enrollments in the course and the number of students pre-registered in the course at the time of the appointment. Changes in enrollment after the first class meeting, whether plus or minus, will not result in a change in the workload assignment for an appointee holding a 100% time appointment.

 

9.     Physical Education Activity Courses

 

Ten activity courses meeting two hours each week constitute a full time workload for a quarter. The workload will be adjusted appropriately if the activity courses meet more frequently.

 

10.  Split Courses

 

Prior approval by the appropriate Dean is required to split a course. Courses of 200-plus enrollment that are split will be assigned a workload value of 1.0 each. For split courses with enrollments of 199 and less, the Dean will recommend to the Vice Chancellor-Academic Affairs a workload value based on programmatic considerations.

 

11.  Team Taught Courses

 

The workload assignment for team taught courses will be made in proportion to the responsibilities the Unit member has for the course.

 

12.  Technical Courses in the Department of Visual Arts

 

Technical courses are valued at 1.0 even if first-time taught.

 

Only one equivalency will be applied to the same course -- no double credits. For example, a first- time taught course with an enrollment of 200 or more students will be assigned an equivalency of 1.5(not 3.0).

 

H.    Loyalty Oath

 

Prospective University of California employees who are U.S. citizens are required to sign the State Oath of Allegiance on or before the service period. Once signed, no corrections of alterations shall be made on the Oath. If the Oath is signed after the service period, payments for services performed prior to signing the Oath, called "Damage Claims," may be claimed under certain conditions. This policy is not applicable to non-citizens.

 

I.       Patent Agreement

 

All temporary faculty hired by the University, salaried or non-salaried and citizen or noncitizen, must sign the University's Patent Agreement.

 

J.     Affirmative Action Data Transmittal Form

 

All temporary academic appointees must be given the opportunity to identify themselves as to ethnic background, handicapped status, and Vietnam era background. Identification forms must be given to the temporary academic appointee at the time of appointment.

 

The completion of the Ethnic Identity portion of the form is not mandatory for salaried temporary appointees; however, it is mandatory that the University report to the Federal government, so supervisors may have to make the identification for the candidate. The completion of the identification of Handicapped/Vietnam Era Veterans portion is voluntary.

 

K.    Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9)

 

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of November 6, 1986, requires that all employees who are paid through the payroll process provide verification of eligibility to work in the United States. The Federal Government has designated the I-9 form. Employment eligibility Verification, as the document to be used in this verification process. Forms with instructions are available at the campus Storehouse. If you have questions about the form and/or the process, contact the Academic Personnel Office.
