| 12.1 |
After considering the recommendations, if any,
of the department or equivalent unit and the appropriate administrator,
appointments of employees shall be made by the President. Appointments
may be temporary, probationary, or tenured. Appointments shall
be made through written notification by the President. No employee
shall be deemed appointed in the absence of an official written
notification from the President. An initial appointment may
be made jointly in more than one academic department or equivalent
unit. The President shall determine the proportion of assignment
of activity for individuals holding joint appointments. The
proportion of such an assignment may be changed by the President
during the duration of the joint appointment. |
| 12.2 |
Official notification to an employee of an appointment
shall include the beginning and ending dates of appointment,
classification, timebase, salary, rank when appropriate, employee
status, assigned department or equivalent unit, and other conditions
of employment. Each new faculty unit employee shall be advised
no later than fourteen (14) days after the start of the quarter/semester
where on campus a summary of the CSU benefits program is available.
Each new faculty unit employee shall also be provided no later
than fourteen (14) days after the start of the quarter/semester
with written notification of the evaluation criteria and procedures
in effect at the time of his/her initial appointment. In addition,
pursuant to provision 15.3, the faculty unit employee shall
be advised of any changes to those criteria and procedures prior
to the commencement of the evaluation process. |
| Temporary
Appointments |
| 12.3 |
Temporary appointments may be for periods of a
semester, a quarter, parts of a year, or one (1) or more years.
Following two (2) semesters or three (3) quarters of consecutive
employment within an academic year, a part-time temporary employee
offered appointment to a similar assignment in the same department
or equivalent unit at the same campus shall receive a one (1)
year appointment. Such appointment shall be subject to the limitations
stated in provision 12.5. |
| 12.4 |
The official notification to a temporary employee
shall also indicate that appointments automatically expire at
the end of the period stated and do not establish consideration
for subsequent appointments or any further appointment rights.
No other notice shall be provided. |
| 12.5 |
An appointment for a less than full-time temporary
employee may be on a conditional basis. The conditions established
at the time of appointment may relate to enrollment and budget
considerations. If a class is canceled, the temporary employee
shall be paid for class hours taught. Classes may be canceled
any time prior to the third class meeting. |
| 12.6 |
Full-time temporary employees, except Coaching
Faculty Unit Employees, shall not be appointed on a conditional
basis. Full-time Coaching Faculty Unit Employees may be appointed
on a conditional basis, and those conditions may include, but
shall not be limited to, adherence to NCAA by-laws and other
NCAA regulations. |
| 12.7 |
Each department or equivalent unit shall maintain
a list of temporary employees who have been evaluated by the
department or equivalent unit. If such an employee applies for
a position in that department or equivalent unit or applicant
pool for that department or equivalent unit, the faculty unit
employee's previous periodic evaluations and his/her application
shall receive careful consideration. If a temporary employee
applies for a subsequent appointment and does not receive one,
his/her right to file a grievance shall be limited to allegations
of a failure to give careful consideration. Such a grievance
would constitute an allegation of a contractual violation and
would not be a "Faculty Status Matter" as defined
in Article 10 of this Agreement. * |
| 12.8 |
The list maintained by each department or equivalent
unit pursuant to provision 12.7 above of temporary employees
who have been evaluated by the department or equivalent unit
shall also include the courses previously taught in the department. |
| 12.9 |
Appointment of a temporary employee in consecutive
academic years to a similar assignment in the same department
or equivalent unit shall require the same or higher salary placement
as in his/her previous appointment. |
| 12.10 |
Upon completion of twenty-four (24) units on a
semester campus, or the equivalent on a quarter campus, in the
same department or equivalent unit, temporary employees shall
receive a salary increase equivalent to the percentage of the
negotiated SSI, provided that they meet the requirements of
Article 31, only during years when the parties have agreed to
provide Service Salary Step Increases pursuant to Article 31
of this Agreement. |
| 12.11 |
A lecturer who receives a new appointment may
be placed on the salary schedule above the maximum Service Salary
Step Increase rate within his or her then-current salary range. |
| Three-Year
Appointments |
| 12.12 |
Beginning with the 2002/03 academic year, temporary
faculty unit employees (excluding coaches) employed during the
prior academic year and possessing six or more years of prior
consecutive service on that campus, shall be offered a three-year
temporary appointment. In addition to other provisions of this
Agreement, the following special conditions shall apply: |
| |
a. |
For purposes of this section, one year of service
shall be considered employment of one (1) semester or two (2)
quarters in the bargaining unit on a single CSU campus during
a single academic year. In calculating the six-year eligibility
period service need not be continuous, but the entire six (6)
year period must have been worked on a single campus in a single
department. |
| |
b. |
Three-year appointments will be issued for employment
on each campus and in each department where the temporary faculty
member has established eligibility. |
| |
c. |
The time base of appointments provided here shall
be as established under terms of the "similar assignment"
language and precedents of Article 12.3 of this Agreement. |
| |
d. |
The President shall decide the type and extent
of course offerings for the department, consistent with current
policies and procedures on each campus. |
| |
e. |
Effective immediately, there shall be no "up
front" evaluation before granting the appointment. |
| 12.13 |
Temporary faculty (excluding coaches) holding
three-year appointments shall have the expectation of appointment
to subsequent three-year appointments except in instances of
documented unsatisfactory performance or serious conduct problems.
These temporary faculty will be re-appointed after a three-year
appointment unless there is insufficient work for which the
faculty member is qualified. In the event there is insufficient
work to support the re-appointment at the previous time base,
the time base of his/her successor three-year appointment may
be reduced to reflect available work for which the temporary
faculty member is qualified. |
| 12.14 |
The application of provision 12.12 above shall
not prohibit the President from making appointments in excess
of three (3) years for eligible temporary faculty unit employees. |
| 12.15 |
Within thirty (30) days of the ratification of
this Agreement, the Administration shall post in each department
a list of temporary faculty who it believes eligible for a three-year
appointment pursuant to Section 12.12 above. Any temporary faculty
who are omitted from the list, but who believe they are eligible
for a three-year appointment, shall come forward and identify
themselves to the appropriate department chair within thirty
(30) days of the posting. The faculty member should provide
any documentation in her/his possession which will assist in
verifying eligibility. |
| Temporary
Faculty Range Elevation |
| 12.16 |
Procedures for range elevation on the salary schedules
shall be established at each campus by the President, after
recommendation by the appropriate Academic Senate Committee. |
| 12.17 |
Those eligible for lecturer range elevation shall
be limited to lecturers who have no more SSI eligibility in
their current range, and have served five (5) years in their
current range. |
| 12.18 |
Criteria for range elevation for temporary faculty
(excluding coaches) shall be appropriate to lecturer work assignments. |
| 12.19 |
Denial of range elevations shall be subject to
the peer review process pursuant to provision 10.11 except that
the peer panel's decision shall be final. |
| 12.20 |
On each campus the pool for funding successful
lecturer range elevation appeals is limited to 4 steps per each
50 lecturer faculty eligible for range elevation. |
| Probationary
Appointments |
| 12.21 |
Initial probationary appointments and subsequent
probationary appointments may be for a period of one (1) or
more years. Initial probationary appointments commencing at
a time other than the beginning of the academic year (i.e.,
winter or spring quarter or spring semester) shall last until
the end of the succeeding academic year. |
| 12.22 |
Recommendations regarding probationary appointments
shall originate at the department or equivalent unit. Probationary
appointment procedures shall include the following: |
| |
a. |
Each department or equivalent unit shall elect
a peer review committee of tenured employees for the purpose
of reviewing and recommending individuals for probationary appointments.
At the discretion of the president and upon request of the department
these peer review committees may also include probationary employees. |
| |
b. |
Each departmental peer review committee recommendation
report shall be approved by a simple majority of the membership
of that committee. |
| 12.23 |
Probationary appointments are normally
made at the Assistant Professor or equivalent librarian rank.
The President may appoint an employee at a higher rank on the
determination of merit consistent with provision 12.22. |
| Appointment
at Another Campus |
| 12.24 |
An employee may apply for appointment
at another campus in his/her field of expertise. |
| 12.25 |
An employee shall not be involuntarily
appointed at another campus within the CSU. |
| Vacancy
Announcements |
| 12.26 |
Vacancy announcements of probationary
positions shall be widely disseminated. Employees shall be informed
of the location where all vacancy announcements for tenure-track
positions from all campuses may be examined. |
| 12.27 |
Vacancy announcements of temporary
employee positions shall be available on the campus where such
vacancies may exist. Employees and the CFA shall be notified
of the location where such vacancy announcements may be examined. |
| 12.28 |
The department or equivalent unit
shall normally develop vacancy announcements. Such announcements
shall be subject to approval by the appropriate administrator. |
| Preference
for Available Temporary Work |
| 12.29 |
a. |
In the event that the department
determines that a need exists to assign new or additional work
to temporary faculty unit employees, said work shall first be
offered to incumbent temporary faculty in the department who: |
| |
|
a. |
Hold less than a "1.0" time base; |
| |
|
b. |
Hold three-year appointments in the department
or equivalent unit; |
| |
|

Have previously satisfactorily taught the course
at any CSU campus or are otherwise qualified to perform the
work in question; and |
| |
|
d. |
Have performed their work in a satisfactory manner. |
| |
b. |
If new or additional work is still
available, incumbent temporary faculty who meet all criteria
in (a) above except that they do not hold a three-year appointment
shall next be offered the work. |
| |
c. |
Following the procedure described
in subsections (a) and (b) above, if new or additional work
is still available for assignment to temporary employees in
the department, said work may be offered to qualified temporary
faculty or applicants who have not previously worked in the
department. |
| Dedicated
Lecturer Pay Raise Funding |
| 12.30 |
Each department shall be provided
with a pool of money sufficient to implement all contractually
required increases for all temporary faculty unit employees
in that department, and solely dedicated for that purpose. |
| 12.31 |
The recruitment and appointment of
tenure-track faculty shall take precedence over any appointment
right and entitlement for temporary bargaining unit employees.
The work necessary to honor any conditional appointment right
and entitlement for temporary bargaining unit employees may
be used instead for the recruitment and appointment of new tenure-track
faculty. |
