(For in-unit faculty, refer to the BOT-UFF Agreement, Article 12)
All appointments are made on a University employment contract and signed by the University President or designee and the faculty member. The regular faculty appointment is for the fall and spring terms. Supplemental contracts for the summer term are available but subject to department bylaws, budgetary restrictions, and student demand.
The professional obligation of faculty is comprised of both scheduled and non-scheduled activities. It is a part of the professional responsibility of faculty members to carry out their duties in an appropriate manner and place. For example, while instructional activities, office hours, and other duties and responsibilities may be required to be performed at a specific time and place, other non-scheduled activities are more appropriately performed in a manner and place determined by the faculty member, in consultation with his/her supervisor.
A non-unit faculty member shall, at the beginning of employment and each year thereafter when a change occurs, be apprised in writing by his or her departmental chair or other appropriate University administrator of the duties and responsibility in teaching, research/scholarship and other creative activities, services, and any other specific duties and responsibilities assigned for that year. Assignments for in-unit faculty member are made in accordance with Article 14 of the Agreement.
(Reference: Florida Statutes 1012.945)
As used in this section:
Each full-time equivalent teaching faculty member at a university who is paid wholly from university funds shall teach a minimum of 12 classroom contact hours per week at such university. However, any faculty member who is assigned by his/her departmental chair or other appropriate university administrator professional responsibilities and duties in furtherance of the mission of the university shall teach a minimum number of classroom contact hours in proportion to 12 classroom hours per week as such especially assigned aforementioned duties and responsibilities bear to 12 classroom contact hours per week. Any full-time faculty member who is paid partly from university funds and partly from other funds or appropriations shall teach a minimum number of classroom contact hours in such proportion to 12 classroom contact hours per week as his/her salary paid from state funds bears to his/her total salary. In determining the appropriate hourly weighing of assigned duties other than classroom contact hours the universities shall develop and apply a formula designed to equate the time required for non-classroom duties with classroom contact hours. "Full-time equivalent teaching faculty member" shall be interpreted to mean all faculty personnel budgeted in the instruction and research portion of the budget, exclusive of those full-time equivalent positions assigned to research, public service, administrative duties, and academic advising. Full-time administrators, librarians, and counselors shall be exempt from the provisions of this section; and colleges of medicine and law and others which are required for purposes of accreditation to meet national standards prescribed by the American Medical Association, the American Bar Association, or other professional associations shall be exempt from the provisions of this section to the extent that the requirements of this section differ from the requirements of accreditation.
